FC Ingolstadt 26-27 Special Kit Released
FC Ingolstadt 04 and Italian kit maker Erreà have unveiled a new special kit for the 2026-27 season. Embracing local Bavarian heritage, the jersey pays tribute to the region's rich brewing tradition and folk festival culture.
The Erreà FC Ingolstadt 26-27 special jersey arrives in an elegant cream base complemented by warm brown details. A subtle all-over tonal pattern depicting hop cones, vines, and traditional Bavarian motifs covers the shirt, creating a distinct Trachten-inspired look. The club's standard crest is replaced on the chest by the standalone panther emblem in brown, matched by Erreà's logo and sponsor branding.
Brown accents also appear on the unique notch neckline and the side panels, while "SCHANZER" lettering is printed neatly on the upper back. The kit is paired with brown numbers and lettering to complete a bespoke, festive aesthetic.
Sukhothai FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Thai League 1 side Sukhothai FC and local brand Warrix have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The launch rounds out the Fire Bats' wardrobe for the campaign following the earlier arrivals of their home and away uniforms.
The Warrix Sukhothai FC 26-27 third jersey brings a fresh and distinct aesthetic, featuring a light lavender purple base paired with vibrant orange accents on the shoulders and sleeve cuffs. Deep purple panels run along the sides, while a clean white V-neck collar finishes the look. A subtle all-over tonal pattern decorates the body, complemented by the club crest on the left chest, Warrix branding, and front sponsors CP and Chang.
Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest Kit Spotted for Sale
The upcoming Adidas Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey has been spotted hanging on retail racks ahead of its official launch in September.
Moving away from the club's traditional Bavarian-inspired palettes and subtle motifs of previous years, the new Wiesn shirt introduces a radical look featuring a vibrant, multicolored abstract graphic set against a black base. The energetic design is complemented by off-white Three Stripes on the shoulders, the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, an ornate heritage Bayern Munich crest, and cream sponsor detailing.
Bukayo Saka and Yan Diomande Debut Whiteout New Balance Furon V9 Boots
Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
