Jan 25, 2019, by Pat
Earlier this month, Nike presented the new Brasileirão ball, which is the first in Brazil to be based on the Merlin model that debuted last February.
Nike 2019 Brasileirão Ball
This is the new Nike Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil football.
The new ball is predominantly white with details in blue, green, yellow and silver.
Like the models already used in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, the new ball has just four panels instead of the 12 that were usually seen in the previous balls. This has also reduced the number of seams by 40%, eliminated hard points and created an ideal point for a more accurate shot. It also features a new latex bladder and ACC on the outside to further improve performance and reliability.
"We are excited to present the new official ball of the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil and take all of Nike's innovation to what promises to be an incredible spectacle," said Luiz Estevam, director of soccer for Nike Brazil.

New 26-27 V.League 1 Logo and Sleeve Patch Released
Vietnam's top domestic league, V.League 1, has officially launched its brand-new competition logo and sleeve patch ahead of 26-27 season.
This follows Vietnam Professional Football (VPF) new brand identity across all three of the country's professional competitions: V.League 1, V.League 2, and the National Cup.
The newly introduced patch marks a major visual departure from previous designs, completely dropping the split dual-layout format (competition logo on one side, title sponsor logo on the other) used since 2018. The overall silhouette has also received a full overhaul, transitioning away from the hexagonal shape seen over the past six years to a sleek, rounded oval design.

AC Milan Honor Legend With Special Franco Baresi Patch
In their Serie A season opener against Torino, AC Milan debuted a special patch on their shirts to honour club legend Franco Baresi, who passed away in July at the age of 66.
The commemorative patch features the message “6 per sempre” (“No. 6 forever”), referencing Baresi's iconic shirt number, which was permanently retired by the Rossoneri. Each character was selected from thousands of handwritten messages left by supporters following his passing.
Worn on the left sleeve, the patch will feature on the shirts of Milan's men's team, women's team and youth teams throughout the 2026/27 season. A beautiful and deeply personal tribute to one of the greatest figures in the club's history.

In-House Buriram United 26-27 Away Kit Released
Buriram United have officially unveiled their new away kit for the 2026-27 season. Designed and produced in-house by the club, the jersey follows the club's established tradition of manufacturing its own domestic matchwear independently, a practice maintained for most seasons since 2010.
The Buriram United 2026-27 away shirt introduces a fresh colorway, featuring a vibrant pink base paired with light blue details. It incorporates a smart mandarin-style collar with a buttoned placket and a subtle all-over pattern of small crosses across the fabric. The monochrome club crest, Yamaha chest branding, and the central Chang sponsor logo are all applied in contrasting light blue.
The new away strip joins the previously launched navy blue and red home kit for the 2026-27 domestic campaign. While Buriram United create their league kits in-house, the Thai giants traditionally partner with technical suppliers for their continental cup competitions.
