No More Adidas - Macron UEFA Champions League 19-20 Referee Kits Released - Debut In EL & CL Finals
Macron and UEFA have agreed a deal until 2022 for the Italian kit manufacturer to provide referee uniforms for all UEFA competitions. The new Macron UEFA referee outfits will be used for the first time at next week's UEFA Europa League final in Baku and in the UEFA Champions League final final three days later in Madrid.
Macron and UEFA signed a three-yer deal. This means that the Macron UEFA referee kits will be used in all UEFA competitions until 2022
"We are delighted to have Macron on board as UEFA's new referee kit supplier for the next three years," said UEFA's chief refereeing officer Rosetti. "This is a company that is always pushing the boundaries to come up with the latest innovations to ensure that referees feel as comfortable as possible when undertaking such an important and high-pressured role on the field of play."
Macron UEFA Champions League & Europa League Referee Kits
The new Macron UEFA Champions & Europa League referee uniforms introduce modern looks compared to Adidas' and Nike's latest referee jerseys. They have the Macron Hero logo on the center at chest height as well as on both shoulders.
There are four different colors of the Macron Champions League & Europa League Referee Kits - one classic black / white and three flashy color combos - Neon Yellow, Neon Sky and Neon Pink.
The front of the shirt has a striped design with black details on the crewneck and the sleeve edges (except for the solid black version), and it is accessorized with comfortable front pockets with hook-and-loop fasteners.
Black shorts will match all four shirts, while the socks will echo the colors of the jerseys, interrupted by one black horizontal stripe featuring the Macron Hero.
The Macron referee jerseys have a slim fit cut. The micromesh inserts allow a maximum breathability.

FC Barcelona to Launch 26-27 Home Kit in Early July
FC Barcelona and Nike have officially agreed to schedule the launch of their 2026-2027 home kit for early July. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the club made this strategic decision because the current 25-26 jerseys are still generating massive sales figures following a highly successful campaign.
Following the home release, the highly anticipated away kit is scheduled to launch in late July, just in time to debut during the squad's pre-season tour. This secondary strip will introduce a striking black and purple colorway and is confirmed to be released under Nike's special Kobe Bryant sub-label. The club's 26-27 wardrobe will then be completed in the second half of August with the official launch of a fresh turquoise green third kit.
While fans wait for the new collection, current shirt sales continue to soar at the official stadium store, with Lamine Yamal comfortably topping the charts ahead of departed club legend Robert Lewandowski.
Which of the three upcoming Barcelona 26-27 designs are you most excited to purchase? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Toronto Police Seize Record 16,000+ Counterfeit Shirts Worth CA$3.5M
Toronto police have carried out the largest seizure of counterfeit soccer jerseys in Canadian history, recovering more than 16,000 fake items with FIFA, Nike, Adidas and Puma branding, as well as flags and two counterfeit FIFA World Cup trophies. The haul has an estimated street value of CA$3.5 million and includes replicas of Team Canada, Argentina, Portugal and Croatia kits. Two suspects, 41-year-old Ramy Jaber and 62-year-old Walid Sarhan, were arrested after police acted on a tip about a Mississauga warehouse and executed a search warrant.
The pair allegedly supplied the fraudulent merchandise to retail stores through a legitimate trading company, with customers charged full price under the impression they were buying authentic products. Some NFL jerseys were also recovered in the operation.
