Adidas Boca Juniors & River Plate HEAT.DRY Authentic Kits Released
Jan 29, 2021, by Chris
Update: Adidas have finally launched the HEAT.RDY versions of the Boca Juniors and River Plate 2020 home and away kits, more than a year after the replicas debuted in the case of the former.
Confirming earlier rumors and leaked pictures, the 'authentic' shirts are available in several local stores and retail at a massive 9699 Argentine pesos (110 USD).
We think that Adidas will not release new Boca home kit before around June 2021
The fact that Adidas is releasing their first modern Boca kit as an authentic Heat Dry version one year after the inaugural launch makes it quite likely that the brand will hold out with releasing the new Boca 2021-22 kit until the summer.

River Plate HEAT.RDY Authentic Kits 2020-21
In September 2020, we reported that Argentinian giants Boca Juniors and River Plate do not get HEAT.RDY authentic kits from Adidas but just kits with just standard replica technology - this is now past.
HEAT.RDY is one of Adidas' key technologies and is deployed across the brand's wide range of products.
"Powered by cooling materials, sweat-wicking technology and natural fits – the air keeps flowing so you can keep moving."
Adidas Designer Shares Images Of Authentic River 20-21 Home Kit Version On Instagram
In November 2020, "Adidas Director Football Apparel" @bechtoli1974 had shared two images of the River 20-21 home kit in the authentic HEAT.RDY version. This caused quite a storm on social media as River fans in the past heavily criticized that Adidas did previously not produce authentic kits for their club.
As written above, the 'HEAT.RDY' Adidas Boca Juniors and River Plate 2020-21 kits are already available to buy for 9,699 Argentine pesos.

Newcastle United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Newcastle United and Adidas have officially revealed the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The new jersey introduces a distinctive light purple base shade officially designated as Powder Plum, giving the Magpies a subtle and modern alternative look.
Deep purple accents feature throughout the shirt, applied to the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and the signature Adidas Three Stripes across the shoulders. A minimalist approach has been taken for the details, with both the Adidas logo and Newcastle United crest presented in a clean monochrome dark purple. The front of the jersey features KNOX Hydrate branding, while a bright yellow noon patch on the sleeve adds a contrasting pop of color.
Designed with a clean aesthetic, the 26-27 third kit stays free of heavy graphic patterns, letting the pastel palette take center stage. Completing Newcastle's lineup alongside the classic home kit and Night Navy away jersey, the third uniform goes on sale from August 13, 2026.
Glenavon FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Northern Irish club Glenavon FC and Adidas have officially revealed the club's new 26-27 third kit, named the 'Master McGrath Heritage Kit'. The bespoke design pays tribute to one of Lurgan's most celebrated sporting legends, Master McGrath, a famous 19th-century greyhound whose crest silhouette has long been associated with the town and football club.
The Glenavon 26-27 third jersey is based on the Adidas Saqudra 25 template, with a custom colorway. It features a dark navy base paired with gold detailing on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and Adidas shoulder stripes. In a unique touch, the traditional club badge is replaced on the left chest by a dedicated gold silhouette of Master McGrath.
Gold branding for both Adidas and shirt sponsor Avondale Foods completes the clean look, paired with matching navy and gold shorts and socks. This special release completes the team's alternative set alongside the previously unveiled 26-27 away kit, which features a classic white jersey with a royal blue polo collar and blue trim.
