Wrong Color: Venezuela Demands Givova to Re-Do Kit After Quality Issues Emerge
Having left Adidas for small Italian brand Givova, the initial euphoria faded quickly for Venezuela.
During broadcasts of the U-20 South American championships, during which the country's new kits were debuted, viewers immediately noticed that the tone of red on the home shirt is not quite the way it's supposed to.
Whereas Venezuela usually wears maroon shirts, the new Givova creation appears to be way to far into the purple range, which is especially evident when comparing the shirt and shorts color with that of the socks, which are not affected by what seam to be pretty bad quality issues for the brand.

Venezuelan radio reported that the Venezuela football federation already responded to the problems by requesting Givova change the home kit because the "tone of red as well as other aspects" of the design did not "convince" the directors.

It's not entirely up to Venezuela, since it was initially Adidas' decision to not renew, but maybe it would have been a better idea to opt for a more established brand than Givova.

Adidas Greece 2026-27 Away Kit Debuted
The Adidas Greece 2026-27 away kit has officially made its debut. The Greek players wore their away kit in last night's 2-2 draw against Sweden.
Unfortunately, this kit will not be seen at the 2026 World Cup, as Greece failed to qualify for the tournament.
The kit features a deep blue base, complemented by subtle tonal vertical striping integrated directly into the fabric. A thick white crossed collar provides a stark contrast, matching the white Adidas stripes on the shoulders and the classic Trefoil logo on the right chest. As a nod to the Hellenic Football Federation's centenary, the back of the collar includes the Greek text "ΧΙΛΙΑ ΕΝΝΙΑΚΟΣΙΑ ΕΙΚΟΣΙ ΕΞΙ," which translates to 1926, the federation's founding year.
Rumor: Newcastle United Set to Sign ElevenLabs as Main Kit Sponsor?
Newcastle United may be on the verge of signing a new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with the AI-powered audio company ElevenLabs - prominent fan account @NUFCgallowgate posted a series of teaser graphics on X, directly linking the club's crest with the tech firm's logo and fueling discussions about a potential commercial partnership for the upcoming seasons.
The speculation was further amplified by a high-quality digital mock-up shared by the same account. The render showcases the Adidas Newcastle United 2026-2027 home kit featuring the ElevenLabs logo prominently across the chest.
The Newcastle United 2026-2027 home kit releases on 10 June 2026, so a new sponsor deal would come just in time.
