Happy Birthday - Marcus Rashford's Already Impressive Boot History
Manchester United and England international Marcus Rashford celebrates his birthday today. And even though he just turns 19 today, the striker has already worn a ton of interesting football boots during his career so far.
Rashford joined Manchester United at the age of seven, he scored twice in both his first-team debut (Europa League) after the warm-up injury of striker Anthony Martial and in his first Premier League game in February 2016 (against Arsenal). He also scored in his first Manchester derby game, and his first League Cup game.
Manchester United Academy Years - Blackout Boots
Marcus Rashford joined Manchester United at the age of seven and has been wearing Nike boots on all pictures we found. However, due to Man Utd's 'Black Boots Only Rule' that forces academy players to wear blackout cleats, the England international was forced either to use blackout Nike boots or to custom blackout his footwear. Most interestingly during his academy time is the fact that he not always laced up in Nike's Mercurial boots but also used a blacked-out version of the low-cut Hypervenom Phinish - pictured above.
Manchester United Senior Career - From Blackouts over Regular Releases to Signature Boots?
Rashford made an impressive first-team debut for Man Utd scoring two goals wearing custom blacked-out Nike Mercurial Vapor X soccer cleats, while he soon switched to regular releases of the Swoosh, while he also received two custom England editions of the Superfly V during the Euro.

Dorking Wanderers 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
English National League South side Dorking Wanderers have officially revealed their new home and away kits for the 2026-2027 season.
The new 26-27 home shirt introduces a classic and timeless design, stripping things back to a traditional aesthetic. It features bold red and white vertical stripes that draw inspiration from historic European football heritage. To complete the clean and authentic on-pitch look, the home jersey is perfectly paired with deep blue shorts and traditional white socks.
Following the launch of the primary strip, Dorking Wanderers also introduced their new 26-27 away kit, which delivers a much sharper and modern edge. This secondary jersey is defined by striking black and orange stripes, creating a strong contrast between dark and vibrant tones.
Notably, the club has thoughtfully replaced the betting sponsor with health and wellbeing partner Nuffield Health for all junior kits, while also actively reducing the price of youth shirts by £6 down to £39 to help younger fans afford their colors.

Special Goiás 2026 'Romaria' Kit Released
Brazilian side Goiás EC and technical sponsor Diadora have officially launched a special edition "Romaria" kit for the 2026 season. This unique jersey is designed to honor the deep-rooted faith and cultural traditions of the club's supporters, known as the Emerald Nation.
Tying heavily into the local religious pilgrimages that take place in the state of Goiás, the release operates under the fitting motto, "Faith is not explained. It is carried," successfully blending regional heritage with modern football apparel.
The design of the new Goiás 2026 Romaria shirt is anchored by an off-white base that is heavily detailed with an intricate, tonal graphic pattern. This all-over print features ornate filigree and religious iconography directly inspired by the Divino Pai Eterno (Divine Eternal Father), a central figure in the state's famous annual pilgrimage. To contrast the subtle background artwork, Diadora has applied its logo and the classic circular 'G' club crest in a sharp, dark green on the chest, while subtle gold piping accents the shoulder lines.
The most striking colorful details of the kit are reserved for the sleeve cuffs, which feature vibrant, tricolor bands of blue, green, and yellow. Upon closer inspection, these colored stripes are inscribed with repeating "Divino Pai Eterno" text, further cementing the jersey's homage to the region's spiritual traditions.
