Lacazette Leaves Adidas

Brazilian club Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, commonly known as Portuguesa, has officially launched its new third kit for the 2026 season. Produced by technical sponsor Joma, the new uniform pays direct homage to the Portuguese national team, celebrating the club's deep historical roots as Portugal prepares to compete in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

The new Portuguesa 2026 third jersey closely mirrors the classic look of the Portuguese national team, featuring a vibrant crimson red base enhanced by subtle jacquard detailing that provides a sense of movement to the fabric. The shirt is structured with a classic polo collar adorned with red and white edging and a green front point insert. The sleeves remain red with contrasting green underarm panels, while the cuffs match the collar's red and white trim.

Further solidifying the international tribute, the official coat of arms of Portugal is prominently displayed on the nape of the neck above the white player numbering. The alternative uniform is completed by green shorts and red socks, finalizing the classic Portuguese color scheme.

The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut this Saturday, May 16th, in a match against Água Santa.

Athletico Paranaense and Umbro have officially launched the Brazilian club's new away jersey for the 2026-2027 season. It will make its on-pitch debut in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético Goianiense.

The new Athletico Paranaense 2026-2027 away kit is white, with the traditional team colors prominently featured through a striking red and black gradient effect applied across the shoulders.

The uniform is further detailed with various subtle graphic elements referencing the history and symbols of the club, which are placed on the inside of the collar, the back hem, and within the custom numbering.

Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan has officially unveiled a special-edition kit dedicated to the upcoming Chemist's Day. Created in collaboration with their general sponsor, Kazanorgsintez (one of Russia's largest chemical companies), the uniform is set to be worn during the club's final match of the 2025-2026 domestic season against Pari Nizhny Novgorod on May 17.

Produced in-house, the Rubin Kazan Chemist's Day kit introduces a fresh, delicate mint green base color, which is officially described as turquoise. The shirt's design is elevated by subtle textures and a geometric pattern directly inspired by the city's local urban infrastructure, specifically referencing the updated park territories around Lake Lebyazhye and the boulevard on Serova Street.

The club noted that the clean aesthetic was crafted with lifestyle appeal in mind.

The most striking elements of the kit are its bespoke thematic details that fully embrace the scientific motif. The collar features the special Russian slogan "Между нами химия" ("There is chemistry between us"). Additionally, in a brilliant nod to the holiday, the back of each player's shirt will display a unique chemical element from the periodic table that directly corresponds to their respective squad number.
