Revolutionary? 5 Nike Squad Snood Launch Colorways Released

South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.

The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.

FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.

In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has introduced a highly detailed new system of sleeve badges, including a special "DEBUT" patch for players making their very first appearance in the tournament. However, on-pitch visuals of Brazil have revealed a glaring spatial issue: the Brazilian kit men did not leave enough space for it.

As seen on players like Danilo during their opening fixtures, the "DEBUT" patch has to be crammed awkwardly against the bottom stitching - the World Cup badge has been placed too low.

Brazil's kit managers apparently ignored the official application guidelines provided by badge manufacturer Avery Dennison. According to the leaked application manual, kits must have 55mm free under the regular badge for the debut patch - 20mm for the debut badge, plus spacing of 15mm (top) and 20 mm (bottom).

Thanks to RKID Football Shop, we have new images of the Adidas Predator Beckham 2026 signature football boots, to be released in late summer/early fall 2026.
