Premier League Stars Support Rainbow Laces Campaign With Unique Boots and Captain Armband
Nov 27, 2016, by Chris
Premier League players show their support this weekend for Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign at their matches wearing rainbow captain armbands as well as rainbow laces as part of the league's support for the Rainbow Laces campaign and to highlight the hard work undertaken by clubs and their supporter groups to welcome fans in their stadiums, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. We take a look at some of the players who wore rainbow laces in yesterday's Premier League fixtures, including such popular footballers as Leicester City's Jamie Vardy.
Premier League Players Sport Rainbow Laces and Captain Armbands to Support Rainbow Laces Campaign
Jamie Vardy is only one of the many players who wore rainbow laces this weekend.
Whereas all captains wear a special rainbow captain armband this weekend, it's up to each player if he decides to use rainbow laces. And while there is not a full list of players using rainbow laces, we have spotted at least four players who used the eye-catching laces yet, with Leicester City striker and England international Jamie Vardy the most popular one.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
