B Club Only Now: How Flamengo Lost Its Status As Adidas Elite Team

Concept designer Chris Pottle has reimagined one of the most celebrated Predator boots of the 2010s with an intriguing twist: the adidas Predator adiPower FT. Taking the sleek silhouette of the 2011 Predator adiPower, the concept introduces an iconic fold-over tongue, seamlessly blending modern Predator trends with early-2010s nostalgia.

Originally launched in 2011, the original Predator adiPower marked a massive transition for the franchise by introducing a lightweight Sprintframe outsole and dropping the traditional fold-over tongue seen on legendary predecessors like the Mania and Powerswerve. The digital concept takes the striking forefoot strike zones, aggressive Three Stripes, and distinct heel counter of the adiPower and adds an elasticated fold-over tongue complete with classic adidas branding.

The digital renders showcase six colorways.

Spanish Liga F side Madrid CFF has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 season, their second with Nike and the first custom.

The Nike Madrid CFF 26-27 home jersey is based on the Nike Vapor V Dri-Fit ADV Teamwear template. It is white with vibrant pink accents across the crew collar, sleeve cuffs, side stripes, and sponsor branding. A subtle touch of volt adds even more contrast along the lower side panels, while the Nike Swoosh appears in pink with a black outline. On the upper back beneath the collar, the Spanish flag sits alongside the flag of the Community of Madrid.

The kit is completed with customized pink numbers and lettering on the reverse, while the goalkeeper options utilize Nike's latest textured zig-zag template in green and charcoal colorways.

Portuguese club Académico de Viseu and technical partner Joma have officially revealed their new home and third kits for the 2026-27 campaign.

The Académico de Viseu 26-27 home shirt stays true to the club's iconic "Manto Negro" moniker, arriving in an all-black base adorned with a subtle tonal geometric weave pattern across the fabric. Crisp white accents appear on the overlapping V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and sponsor branding, giving the jersey a sharp, modern finish.

For the third kit, Joma and the club take direct inspiration from the region's famous Vinho do Dão wine heritage. Draped in an intense burgundy tone, the shirt features tonal horizontal gradient striping alongside contrasting white and black details on the collar and cuffs.

Images of an unreleased Beşiktaş 18-19 anthem jacket prototype have surfaced online via kit collector Kamil Berberler, providing an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how Adidas initially planned to integrate the club's third star. Under Turkish football regulations, teams earn a star for every five league titles, and Beşiktaş officially secured their 15th league championship at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

Because the production timeline for the 17-18 season required apparel to be finalized before the league title was mathematically clinched, Adidas was forced to add the third star directly on top of the existing two stars in a triangular formation. The newly revealed 18-19 prototype reveals that Adidas originally planned to abandon the pyramid shape in favor of a clean, horizontal side-by-side arrangement of all three stars directly above the crest.

Beyond the star alignment, the prototype also features an older crest material. The sample was created using a traditional flock crest, whereas the final retail pieces and official kits for the 18-19 season transitioned to modern TPU badges. Ultimately, Beşiktaş retained the triangular star layout on official merchandise, making this jacket a rare glimpse at an alternate design direction.

Indonesian giants Persija Jakarta have officially unveiled their new 26-27 home, away, and third kits, celebrating their reunion with adidas.

The Persija 26-27 home shirt features a bold red base combined with golden yellow details on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, complemented by a subtle diagonal tonal graphic across the chest. The away kit opts for a clean white design incorporating thin horizontal stripes in gold and grey alongside black accents. Completing the set, the third kit embraces the club's iconic orange palette with vertical textured graphics and black three stripes.

The new adidas Persija Jakarta 26-27 collection is now available to purchase through official club stores, online platforms, and select retail outlets in both player-issue and fan-version tiers.

Thai League 1 side Singha Chiangrai United have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 home kit, made by domestic sportswear brand 2S Sport. The partnership sees 2S Sport replace Grand Sport as the club's official kit partner.

A subtle geometric diamond pattern adds texture, while a black polo collar, side panels and sleeve cuffs provide contrast. “CRUTD” is printed on the back of the collar.
