Tottenham Blocks Bale Kit Print - Name Trademarked?
Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has been in the headlines recently, possibly finally able to leave Real Madrid. However, fans looking to already have 'Bale 11' emblazoned on the back of their new Tottenham shirt, are not able to do so.
Bale Has Protected His Celebration As Trademark, But Now His Name
If typing the Bale name into Spurs' kit customization tool, the red message 'Word Rejected' pops up. This is only on the main page of the store and not on the sub-site of the official Spurs online store.
According to some "experts", it is not able to get the Bale printing because the former Spurs winger Gareth Bale has, apparently, trademarked his own name, preventing anyone from using it.
Bale only trademarked his 11 of hearts celebration
However, Bale did just trademarked his 11 of hearts celebration but not his surname. So the reason is likely something else.
No, he's trademarked his 11 of hearts celebration.

You can trademark a surname under UK law but only if there's no objection.
According to trademark register, this is the only 'Bale' trademarked in UK and it's a luggage company. pic.twitter.com/YzP72lo79q
Other lettering is also not possible to have it on the Spurs 2020-21 home kit, including 'Arsenal' and 'Fuck You'. For Arsenal, it appears the same "Word Rejected" message as for Bale.
In stores of other teams like Man Utd and Arsenal it is possible to have the 'Bale' printing.
So how come I can do this, if it's trademarked? Does Bale have it only blocked on Spurs shirts? pic.twitter.com/qpCT3gOflv

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. This follows earlier leaks of the Nike home jersey, which uses three distinct red shades (Deep Garnet, Noble Red, Cardinal Red) and three blue shades (Game Royal, Loyal Blue, Blue Void) per stripe.
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.
