Radamel Falcao to Join Nike
Oct 10, 2016, by Chris
Update: After returning to training wearing regular Nike Mercurial Vapor XI boots, as evidenced by two pictures posted on his official Twitter, Falcao appears to have all but confirmed his switch from Puma to Nike. See the pictures below and read our original post from last month further down.
It looks like Puma will loose one of their best players as Radamel Falcao was spotted wearing blackout Puma evoSPEED SL boots in last weekend's match against Lille.

Close-up with Falcao's boots.
Falcao, who laced up in the red, black and white two-colored Puma evoSPEED until last weekend, laced up in a custom blacked-out pair of the same cleats in the Ligue 1 clash against LOSC Lille.
Although it was the first time that Falcao was spotted wearing blackout Puma evoSPEED soccer boots, it seems likely that the the time of the Colombian striker with Puma has come to an end. Stay tuned for more updates as the story evolves.

VfL Osnabrück 26-27 Special DFB-Pokal Kit Released - Worn Against Bayern Munich
German club VfL Osnabrück have unveiled a special kit for their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against FC Bayern Munich. Manufactured by Capelli Sport, the one-off jersey pays homage to one of the biggest cup upsets in German football history, when Osnabrück defeated Bayern 5-4 at the Olympiastadion in Munich on September 23, 1978.
The Osnabrück 26-27 DFB-Pokal special shirt closely mirrors the clean aesthetic worn during that historic 1978 triumph. Predominantly white, it features a bold retro polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs in Osnabrück's signature purple.
Completing the look, the special edition kit is paired with matching white shorts and socks accented by purple detailing. The kit will be worn exclusively during the home cup tie against Bayern Munich at the Bremer Brücke and is available through the club's official retail channels.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.
What do you think of adidas using the same template for Hanoi FC and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
