France Youth Teams Cleverly Hide That They Are Using 'Old' Kits
If you watched some youth football in the past days, you might have noticed that the kits of the France national youth team did not feature two stars above the France logo but the flag of France. We find out why (thanks to Footpack for the heads up).
France Youth Teams Add French Flag To Kits To Hide That They Are Using Old 'One World Cup Title' Jerseys
The reason for the kits of all France youth teams to feature the French flag in the place of the star above the FFF national team logo is simple. They hide that they are using old Nike jerseys with one star - that is a pretty clever way to make the jerseys do not look wrong while not needing to get new two stars jerseys and equipment for all the youth teams.
In fact, the reason is NOT that they would be not allowed to wear the two stars on the kits, as stated in the FIFA Equipment Regulations.
The Article 4 of the FIFA Equipment Regulations reads: "The men's selection will not be able to wear a star on their jersey if it is the female or futsal or beach soccer selection that has won one of the aforementioned competitions, and vice versa). Nevertheless, the five-pointed stars - or other symbol on FIFA instruction - corresponding to the category concerned may also be displayed on other teams of the same category (teams of young women may for example sport the champion star) of the world won by their national team "A" .
The youth teams of England, Germany and other national teams who won World Cup titles are using the same kits as the Men's, including the stars.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.

Barcelona 2026-27 Home Kit Featured on New Bucket Hat
A bucket hat displaying the FC Barcelona 2026-27 home kit has surfaced via @Opaleak. The design prominently showcases the kit's signature striped pattern using multiple shades of red and blue.
The cap section of the hat incorporates Barca text consistent with details from the 2026-27 collection.

The home kit is set to launch in the coming weeks as part of the broader Nike Barcelona range for the season, likely after the World Cp.
