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.

Following the recent unveils of their new home and away shirts, Belgian club KAA Gent has officially presented its new 26-27 European kit.
The Gent 26-27 European kit is the same as the away shirt, but with a pale blue main color instead of the off-white of the away kit.
Unfortunately, the club did not manage to release full and consistently colored images of the kit, making it very hard to judge the final product.
Special Legacy Numbers on England Kits
On the back of the shirt collar, every England player has a specific number called "Legacy Number", which shows the historical order of when they made their debut for the national team. Big thanks to our partner @jerseystory_vn for this interested spotting.
Legacy Numbers first appeared on England match shirts on November 14, 2019, to celebrate the team's historic 1,000th international match against Montenegro.
The player with Legacy Number 1 is goalkeeper Robert Barker, who played in England’s very first official international match against Scotland on November 30, 1872. Meanwhile, the newest name on the list is Rio Ngumoha, who takes number 1,300.
At the 2026 World Cup, the squad member with the lowest legacy number is Jordan Henderson's 1,170.
Dynamo Dresden 26-27 Away Kit Released
The new SG Dynamo Dresden away kit for the 26-27 season was officially released today. Manufactured by Jako, the shirt introduces a bespoke design inspired by local history and architecture.
The Jako Dynamo Dresden 26-27 away shirt is predominantly silver-white, highlighted by a striking honeycomb pattern on the sleeves. This unique sleeve detail pays tribute to the facade of the former Hertie department store on Prager Straße, serving as a symbol of the city's post-war reconstruction. The design seamlessly connects the club's identity to Dresden's architectural past.
