Umbro to Auction Off Custom Boots to Help Chapecoense Tonight
Mar 9, 2017, by Pat
Tonight, a fundraiser will take place in London to aid Brazilian club Chapecoense after last year's terrible tragedy. Organized by LAFA (Latin American Footballers' Alliance), Umbro, who are Chapecoense's jersey supplier, have stepped in to support the event and will auction off a pair of one-of-a-kind football boots for the occasion.
Umbro Velocita Chapecoense Boots
This is Chapecoense special edition of the Umbro Velocita.
Based on the Umbro Velocita, these Chapecoense soccer cleats have a matte-gold sole plate and a bright red collar. The sides of the special-edition Umbro Velocita boots feature lots of green, Chapecoense logos and "Forca Chape" writings, alongside the iconic Double Diamond. The center and tongue area is all black.
With only one pair available worldwide, these Umbro Velocita Chapecoense boots will hopefully bring in some much needed funds to help out the club in these difficult times. They were created by Graffia Studio.
If you are in London, you can attend the event at Canning House from 6PM, or donate directly if you can't make it.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
