Tottenham To Have No Sleeve Sponsor This Season?
It seems almost certain that Tottenham Hotspur will not have a sleeve sponsor this season, according to Sports Sponsorship Insider editor Matthew Glendinning. Many Premier League teams have already signed a sleeve sponsorship deal, while some big teams such as Manchester United have no sleeve sponsor yet.
Does The Deal With AIA Allow Tottenham Hotspur to Have a Sleeve Sponsor?
Tottenham Hotspur's kit will likely feature the league patch on both sleeves the whole season, just as this year.
Tottenham Hotspur's current deal with AIA (American Insurance Association) is worth £35million a season for Tottenham until 2022. It is not known if the deal allows the club to have a extra sleeve sponsor, while the club has 'yet to go to market for a sleeve sponsor, likely due to AIA deal.' (Matthew Glendinning).

Tottenham wouldn't be the only club whose deal with their main sponsor does not allow them to have an individual sleeve sponsor. Arsenal is not able to sign a sleeve sponsorship deal as the club's current deal with Fly Emirates, which was signed back in 2012 and will run until the end of the 2018-19 season, does not allow the club to have a extra sponsor on the sleeves as well as a training sponsor.

South Korea Forced to Change Away Kit Font Color for 2026 World Cup
South Korea have been forced to change the nameset color on their 2026 away kit to comply with FIFA equipment regulations. The original light green names and numbers, which were worn during the team's pre-tournament friendlies, have been replaced with navy for the 2026 World Cup.
The change was made to increase the visibility of the names and numbers from a distance. The original light green color did not provide enough contrast against the light purple and white camouflage-style pattern of the Nike away shirt, violating FIFA's strict rules regarding the legibility of player identification.
The updated navy nameset was debuted in South Korea's second match of the tournament, providing a stark contrast to the shirt's base design and ensuring full compliance with FIFA's visibility standards.
CD Numancia 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
Spanish club CD Numancia and their long-time technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new kits for the 2026-27 season. The launch celebrates a historic milestone, marking 20 years of uninterrupted partnership between the team and the Italian sportswear brand. To honor this two-decade collaboration, the new designs reinterpret the essence of the original kits from the 2006-07 season, when Erreà first began outfitting the Soria-based side.
The CD Numancia 2026-2027 home kit returns to the club's traditional deep red base with blue details, directly inspired by the 2006-07 template. It features a classic central shield placement, reviving a vintage aesthetic that defined the early days of the partnership. The away kit reverses this color scheme, utilizing a crisp white base with red and blue accents. Rounding out the set, the third kit introduces a clean black design with red and white elements that firmly connect to Numancia's identity.

World Cup 'Debut' Patch is Attached to the Boots
Midfielder Luis Romo (31) made a memorable impact in his FIFA World Cup debut, scoring the only goal in Mexico’s 1-0 victory over South Africa. The win also made Mexico the first team to secure a place in the knockout stage.
Making his first-ever World Cup appearance, Luis Romo naturally had the honor of wearing the World Cup “Debut” Patch. Interestingly, however, he chose to attach it to his Tiempo Maestro boots rather than wear it on his shirt sleeve like most other players.
