Top 5 Classic Nike 'Futura' Kits - Arsenal, Dortmund & PSG
Sep 18, 2019, by Pat
Having made its big entry to European football in the late 1980s and early 90s, Nike based its new 2019-2020 third kits on these days, bringing back the classic 'Futura' logo alongside designs inspired by the archives.
Here's our Top 5 Nike kits from that period, featuring a small selection of designs worn by Arsenal, Dortmund and PSG, which were Nike's first major club contracts in Europe.
5 - Arsenal 94-95 Home
Arsenal's 94-95 home shirt is as classic as it gets. It's red with a large collar and predominantly white sleeves. A subtle lightning pattern is present on this as well as the away from that season, a sign of what was to come in the next years.
4 - PSG 95-96 Home
With the Paris Saint-Germain 1995-06 home shirt, Nike managed something that seams impossible today: stay true to the French club's trademark 'Hechter' look, created by former investor and fashion designer Daniel Hechter. And it doesn't look half bad either.
3 - PSG 89-90 Home
PSG's 1989-90 home shirt by Nike is as classy as it gets. Featuring a blue-red stripe down the left side, a buttoned collr and a diagonal jacquard print, its influence is not lost on the 2019-20 third kit, which is directly based on it.
2 - Dortmund 94-95 Home
When Nike took over the Dortmund contract, the brand quickly changed the color of the home kits to a vibrant neon yellow, a move that wasn't like universally. It resulted in some very memorable kits over the years however, such as the 1994-95 home shirt with its distinct 'Wings' graphic on the sleeves.
The same template as used for the Nigeria kit that ended up inspiring the massive 2018 World Cup design.
1 - Arsenal 95-96 Away
One of the most iconic looks the club has ever worn, the Nike Arsenal 1995-96 away shirt combines two shades of blue through a unique lightning graphic on the front.

"Leak Or Not To Leak": Adidas Playfully Teases Juventus Kit Releases
Adidas Football has taken a cheeky and self-aware approach to modern kit culture by leaning directly into the world of shirt leaks. In a teaser shared across social media captioned "LEAK OR NOT TO LEAK, that’s the question", the brand presented a mock confidential desktop interface styled like an internal investigation into unreleased gear.
The desktop graphic features folders and case files centered around upcoming Juventus kits for the 26-27 campaign. Several genuine product codes are highlighted in the mockup, including KC2294 for the Juventus authentic third jersey and KR4646 for the pink away shirt. Surrounding these are playful folder labels such as "PRE-RELEASE LEAKERS" and "PERSONS OF INTEREST", along with mock file thumbnails referencing kit sightings, club mascot leaks, and questions over whether star youngster Kenan Yildiz leaked upcoming jerseys.
Rather than attempting to suppress early kit leaks, Adidas is embracing the surrounding fan culture and online discussion. By turning pre-release anticipation into an interactive campaign, the Three Stripes have found a clever way to generate excitement ahead of the official launches.
Official PSG 26-27 Squad Numbers Confirmed
Paris Saint-Germain have officially confirmed their squad shirt numbers for the 26-27 season following the conclusion of the summer transfer window. The French champions revealed the updated roster graphic displaying the club's official numbering across their classic Hechter-inspired home kit and goalkeeper jerseys. This graphic was created by @gollofootball and was officially used and posted by PSG.
The list highlights several new arrivals and notable number assignments across the squad. New signing Ferran Torres takes the number 9 shirt, while fellow additions Maghnes Akliouche, Lucas Digne, and Mika Godts take numbers 11, 12, and 22, respectively. Key figures retain their established shirts, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the number 7 and Ousmane Dembélé wearing number 10, alongside core regulars such as Marquinhos (5), Achraf Hakimi (2), and Vitinha (17).
Between the posts, Lucas Chevalier wears number 30 alongside Alessandro Longoni (16) and Matvey Safonov (39). Midfielder João Neves retains his distinctive number 87, while Warren Zaïre-Emery continues with number 33 for the upcoming campaign.
Muangthong United 26-27 Away Kit Released
Thai club Muangthong United have revealed their new away kit for the 26-27 campaign, crafted once again by local brand EGO Sport.
The Muangthong United 2026-27 away jersey introduces an ultra-clean, classic look. Built on an off-white base, the shirt features bright red accents on the polo-style collar and sleeve cuffs. All logos, including the club crest on the left chest, EGO branding, and long-time main sponsor Yamaha across the front, appear in monochromatic red.
Sleeve sponsors such as AirAsia and LEO round out the design, maintaining the red-and-white aesthetic throughout the entire kit.
Nike Sabrina 4 Outsole Sparks Comparisons to Ezeta Logo
Nike has unveiled the latest colorway of Sabrina Ionescu's signature basketball shoe, the Nike Sabrina 4 "The Switch". While the sneaker stands out with its vibrant blend of desert pink and lemon venom tones, a detailed look at the outsole has caught the attention of the football kit community for an unexpected reason.
The shoe's traction pattern features an intricate array of small, angled rubber lugs designed to deliver multi-directional court grip. However, numerous fans and followers noticed that the shape of these individual traction nubs looks remarkably similar to the geometric emblem of Italian sportswear brand Ezeta, prompting many to message the label's founders about the resemblance.
While the outsole pattern is undoubtedly Nike's performance-oriented traction engineered around Sabrina's signature identity, the visual likeness to Ezeta's mark is striking. Do you think this is purely a coincidence, or a curious case of parallel design?

Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Spanish Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca and technical partner Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Staying true to the club's fan-owned ethos, the designs were chosen directly by club members through an open design competition and multi-stage vote.
The Erreà Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition with a half-and-half black and white design, accented by subtle tonal vertical pinstripes across the front. Bright yellow trim details the collar and sleeve cuffs, while the back features a clean white panel with fine pinstripes to host player names and numbers.
Taking a bold and creative direction, the Unionistas 26-27 away jersey features a vibrant pink base that fades into deep navy tones towards the bottom hem. The shirt pays tribute to the local region by subtly embedding the names of all 362 municipalities in the province of Salamanca into the fabric graphic, while sleeve cuffs carry lyrics dedicated to the club's loyal travelling fanbase.
