The Adidas FC Annecy 26-27 away shirt is built around a crisp white base, highlighted by a sharp red polo collar. Deep red detailing continues onto the shoulders with the brand's signature three stripes, as well as the Adidas logo on the chest and Annecy's stylized gothic 'A' crest.

Italian Serie B club FC Südtirol and technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Completing the club's matchday wardrobe alongside the previously launched home and away strips, the design draws strong inspiration from the natural alpine scenery and vineyard landscapes of the South Tyrol region.
The Erreà FC Südtirol 26-27 third jersey arrives in an elegant cream and off-white base complemented by deep forest green accents. A faint, tonal organic pattern runs across the fabric, while the front features the "Südtirol" wordmark alongside the iconic mountain silhouette in dark green, placed directly above main sponsor Alperia. Both the Erreà emblem and the diamond-shaped FCS crest are rendered in a clean monochrome green style.
Contrasting green detailing finishes the rear collar, sleeve cuffs, and side flanks of the shirt. The uniform is completed by matching off-white shorts and socks, both accented with forest green trim and club lettering. The FC Südtirol 26-27 third kit is available through the club's official store.
Erreà San Marino Women's 2026 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian sportswear brand Erreà and the San Marino Football Federation (FSGC) have officially revealed the first bespoke home and away kits for the newly established San Marino women's senior national football team. Founded earlier this year under the guidance of head coach Giulia Domenichetti, the squad will debut the new uniforms in their first official international friendly matches against Liechtenstein and Gibraltar.
Both jerseys take direct inspiration from San Marino's most famous national symbols, the Three Towers of Mount Titano: Guaita, Cesta, and Montale. The home shirt is predominantly white with delicate celeste blue and dark blue accents on the polo-style V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Subtly woven into the fabric is an embossed tone-on-tone pattern representing the historic towers, paired with matching white shorts and socks.
The away jersey flips the color scheme into a deep navy blue, highlighted by vertical repeating silhouettes of the Three Towers across the front. White side panels and light blue trim on the collar add sharp contrast, accompanied by matching navy shorts and socks. Both kits are produced using Erreà's lightweight Future fabric as part of the UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme, and feature custom "FSGC 1931" tape inside the back collar.
Champions League 'Debut' Sleeve Patches Make On-Pitch Debut
The brand-new UEFA Champions League 'Debut' sleeve patch made its official on-pitch appearance during Matchday 1 of the 26-27 season. Introduced through a collaboration between UEFA, UC3, and Topps (Fanatics Collectibles), the initiative is designed to highlight and celebrate players making their first-ever career appearance in Europe's premier club competition.
The special badge adds a curved blue emblem featuring the word 'DEBUT' integrated into the bottom of the iconic Champions League Starball sleeve badge, including the club badge of honour editions. The patch is strictly awarded for active on-pitch participation, meaning only starting players and substituted debutants wear it. Unused substitutes on the bench do not qualify until they physically step onto the pitch, and a player can only wear the debut badge once in their entire career.
The badge also bridges the gap between matchday kit and football memorabilia. Following the match, the blue 'DEBUT' element is removed from the player's match-worn jersey, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, and delivered to Topps. It will then be permanently embedded into a unique 1-of-1 autographed trading card for upcoming Topps collections, while the underlying badge remains visible on the shirt so the player can retain their jersey as a personal memento.
