Insane Adidas Telstar 18 World Cup Jumbo Ball Released
Adidas has released quite an insane edition of their new 2018 World Cup ball, the Adidas Telstar 18 Jumbo.
Adidas Telstar 18 World Cup Jumbo Ball
This is the new Adidas Telstar 18 World Cup Jumbo soccer ball.
Boasting the same visual design as the Adidas Telstar 18, the Adidas Telstar 18 Jumbo is a XXL version of the Official World Cup Ball. The Adidas Telstar 18 Jumbo has a diameter of around 75 cm (normal Size 5 soccer ball: 22-23 cm).
Tech-wise, the Adidas Telstar Jumbo is machine-stitched and comes with rather cheap-looking soft synthetic upper.
In fact, it is not the first time that Adidas releases a 'Jumbo' edition of a World Cup football as the German brand also launched Jumbo versions of other balls such as the Brazuca.
The Adidas Telstar 18 World Cup Jumbo Ball retails at a price of 300 USD (250 GBP), which makes the ball double as expensive than the Official Match Ball.

Sunderland Announce Shuffle as Official Sleeve Partner
Sunderland AFC have announced a new multi-year agreement with Shuffle, naming the centralized crypto casino and sports betting platform as the club's Official Sleeve Partner. The Shuffle branding will make its on-pitch debut on the first-team kits starting this weekend.
The deal replaces LiveScore Bet, who served as Sunderland's sleeve sponsor during the 25-26 season. While Premier League regulations prohibit front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships starting in the 26-27 campaign, betting and casino brands remain permitted to feature on shirt sleeves.
Shuffle's logo will be displayed on the sleeve of Sunderland's kits throughout the multi-year partnership, providing global visibility for the platform as the Black Cats continue to overhaul their commercial lineup.
BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two Home Kit Released
Thai League club BG Pathum United has officially revealed its dedicated home kit for the 26-27 AFC Champions League Two campaign. Produced by Nike, the jersey adapts the club's domestic home look into a streamlined, competition-compliant design for continental action.
The 26-27 ACL2 home shirt utilizes the same royal blue base and template as the standard domestic kit, accented by dark navy ribbing on the collar and sleeve cuffs alongside white side panel details. To adhere to AFC equipment regulations, the domestic sponsors have been stripped away. In place of the usual LEO front sponsor, the continental version showcases a white Singha Corporation graphic paired with the player's squad number on the front, complemented by a monochrome white club crest and Nike Swoosh.
The Nike BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two home kit is now available through the club's official club store and online shop, priced at 999 THB with optional full flex printing.
Newcastle Jets 26-27 AFC Champions League Elite Home & Away Kits Released
A-League side Newcastle Jets have officially revealed their new 26-27 home and away kits for their upcoming AFC Champions League Elite campaign. Crafted by New Balance, the special collection takes direct inspiration from the kits worn during the club's very first Asian continental adventure back in 2009.
The Newcastle Jets 26-27 ACLE home jersey is predominantly gold, highlighted by a navy panel across the upper chest and shoulders separated by a thin red accent line. The retro-inspired template is completed with gold shorts and socks. Inverting the palette, the away jersey features a deep navy base topped with a contrasting gold chest block and matching red piping, paired with navy shorts and socks.
Both shirts feature the club crest, New Balance logos, and the Wadam Living sponsor across the midriff, as well as the official AFC Champions League Elite tournament sleeve patch on the right arm.
CR Belouizdad 26-27 Home Kit Released
Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 side CR Belouizdad have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 26-27 season, produced by Puma. Designed as a celebration of the club's legacy and identity, the shirt brings a classic look back to the forefront for the capital side.
The Puma CR Belouizdad 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a bold white chevron across the chest. It incorporates a white V-neck collar, patterned white sleeve cuffs, and a subtle "1962" detail on the sleeve honoring the year of the club's founding. The CRB crest with its championship star is placed over the chest alongside white Puma branding and the logo of main sponsor Madar Holding.
Built with Puma's dryCELL performance fabric and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, the new jersey is completed by matching red shorts and red socks.
Vitesse 26-27 Airborne Kit Released
Dutch club SBV Vitesse and technical partner Robey Sportswear have officially launched their special 2026-27 Airborne kit. Continuing an annual tradition that dates back to 2007, the kit commemorates the 1944 Battle of Arnhem and Operation Market Garden, and will be worn during the club's annual Airborne fixture in September.
Themed "V van Vrijheid" (V for Freedom), the shirt also pays tribute to a silent act of resistance during the club's 50th anniversary in 1942, when players formed a large 'V' on the pitch in a subtle nod to the Allied Victory sign. The jersey is presented in a deep bordeaux base covered in dynamic tonal chevron patterns that form subtle 'V' shapes across the torso. Contrasting sky blue accents highlight the collar, sleeve cuffs, and underarm panels, with a white poppy placed centrally on the chest between the Robey branding and the club crest.
Matching bordeaux shorts and sky blue socks decorated with claret chevrons complete the uniform. The Robey Vitesse 26-27 Airborne kit is available to purchase now through the club's official online store.
Cambodian Premier League Becomes First Asian League to Introduce "Debut" Sleeve Patches
The Cambodian Premier League has surprised kit enthusiasts and football followers by introducing an official "CPL DEBUT" sleeve patch, making it the first domestic league in Asia to adopt a dedicated debut patch on match shirts. While high-profile competitions across the continent like the Saudi Pro League, Japan's J.League, and South Korea's K League have yet to implement such badges, Cambodia's top flight has embraced the global trend.
Positioned directly underneath the official Cambodian Premier League crest on the right sleeve, the badge features a compact rectangular design with a bold red background and white "CPL DEBUT" lettering. The patch is applied to kits exclusively for players making their first-ever career appearance in the Cambodian Premier League, commemorating their milestone game on the pitch.
The concept takes inspiration from the debut patch movement that originated in American sports like Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, which recently expanded to European football via UEFA and Topps for the UEFA Champions League. While the Cambodian version is an independent initiative by the league rather than a licensed trading card memorabilia tie-in, it adds a unique detail and collectible charm to debutants' match-worn shirts.
Newcastle United Announce BetMGM Partnership Extension
Newcastle United have officially announced a multi-year extension of their commercial partnership with BetMGM. The renewed agreement sees the operator, part of the LeoVegas Group, continue in its role as the Magpies' Official UK and European Betting Partner heading into the 26-27 season and beyond.
The collaboration first started in 2023 alongside BetMGM's launch in the UK market, following an earlier renewal in 2024. Over the past three seasons, the relationship has established a major presence on matchdays at St. James' Park, focusing primarily on fan engagement and digital activations rather than kit branding.
As part of the extended deal, Newcastle and BetMGM confirmed the return of the popular BetMGM Half-Time Challenge. The activation offers supporters attending home fixtures the opportunity to take to the pitch at the break and compete for prizes, including a trip to Las Vegas.
