Adidas x Pharrell 'Human Race' Football Kits Released - Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United & Real Madrid - To be Worn In-Match(!)
Oct 23, 2020, by Pat
Adidas has just presented the outstanding Pharrell Williams "Humanrace" football shirts. The full kits are now available to buy, including shorts, socks and kids' versions.
Some of these kits will actually be worn in-match - more details on that at the bottom!
The accompanying boots, worn by Paul Pogba last weekend, have also been launched officially.
Each jersey is unified by the hand-painted aesthetic, which was central to the process led by Pharrell, with the iconic shirts redesigned in a traditional artistic format. Starting out on a simple cotton t-shirt, the reverse engineered design process was centred around a raw, human and expressive hand-drawn technique on a simple piece of canvas. All intricate details are reimagined in paint format, from club crest to partner logos, to create a look unified by style. From there, Pharrell worked collaboratively with the adidas design team to create elite performance jerseys, featuring the very best in adidas technology.
Designed by hand, for the @humanrace.

Bayern Munich
The Bayern design is based on the 1991-93 home shirt with its large block 3 Stripes on the shoulders.
Juventus
Remembering the first season of the Adidas x Juventus partnership, the Juventus Humanrace shirt is based on the 2015-16 away, which was an instant classic.
Manchester United
The Adidas x Pharrell Manchester United Humanrace shirt is based on the 1990-92 away, which has been reimagined with a tie-dye effect to create a modern-day version of it.
Real Madrid
Completing the collection, the Real Madrid Humanrace football shirt is based on the classic 2014-15 Yamamoto Dragon kit.
Surprisingly, both Bayern Munich and Juventus will actually wear their kits in-match - this explains the use of their actual sponsors in the designs. Juventus will wear the kit against Verona on October 25 while Bayern will wear it in the next DFB Pokal match, which has not been drawn yet.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Real Madrid will wear theirs for the pre-match warmup this weekend.

Boca Juniors Tribute: Sint-Truiden 26-27 European Kit Released
Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truidense VV has officially unveiled its new European kit for the 26-27 season, produced by regional brand Olympic. The special strip was revealed during the premiere of the club documentary 'Expeditie Kanarie: de weg naar Europa' at CC De Bogaard, celebrating STVV's historic first qualification for the main stages of European competition in club history.
The Olympic Sint-Truiden 26-27 European jersey draws heavy inspiration from Boca Juniors while paying tribute to the club's iconic late-1980s 'BT-shirt'. It features a royal blue base highlighted by a bold yellow horizontal chest band that accommodates the Maruhan sponsor logo. The STVV crest and Olympic branding are centered neatly above the chest stripe, complemented by yellow trim along the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Matching blue shorts and yellow socks complete the look.
Sint-Truiden will wear the new kit throughout their 26-27 UEFA Conference League league phase campaign, where their fixtures include matchups against Ajax, Hajduk Split, SK Brann, FC Midtjylland, FC Lugano, and FC Iberia 1999 Tbilisi.
England Wears Red Away Against Croatia | 7-0 Victory
England took the pitch in their red 2026 away kit on Saturday night and delivered a historic performance, sweeping aside Croatia 7-0 in their UEFA Nations League clash at Stadion HNK Rijeka. The Three Lions lined up in their striking "Speed Red" jersey paired with obsidian navy shorts and red socks, switching from their primary white home uniform to avoid a kit clash with Croatia's famous red-and-white checkered home design.
The red and navy proved to be a good contrast, as Croatia's kit has white sleeves, shorts and socks - No problems with the red checkers. England dominated from the opening whistle to hand Croatia the heaviest defeat in their football history. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scored twice, Jude Bellingham delivered an outstanding performance with a goal and three assists, and Anthony Gordon and substitute Morgan Rogers also found the back of the net to complete the ruthless display.
Nike reintroduced the classic red colorway for England's 2026 away strip, combining the vibrant red base with deep obsidian and crisp white accents along the collar and side inserts. Red away shirts hold a celebrated place in England's history, and Saturday's emphatic seven-goal triumph in Rijeka adds another memorable chapter to the look.

Priced at €69, the commemorative kit went on sale in very limited quantities at the stadium boutique. The shirts worn by the squad during the match will be auctioned off following the final whistle to raise funds directly for breast cancer screening and research initiatives.
