3 Leaked Nike 21-22 Kits & How Accurate The Early Predictions Were
In December 2020, football kit expert @hendocfc predicted the designs of 12 Nike 21-22 football kits. Now several of these were leaked - we find out how accurate three of the predictions were.
Nike 21-22 Kit Predictions vs Leaks
Some of the Nike 21-22 shirt predictions were more accurate than others. This especially applies to FC Barcelona, which was firstly leaked by Mundo Deportivo in Fall 2020.
Some of the Nike 21-22 shirt predictions were very accurate
What will be very interesting to see is how close the predictions of the kits not leaked are in the end. Kits for 2021-22 that were not leaked include the Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Galatasaray, and Tottenham away kits as well as the Inter, PSG, Leipzig home and away jerseys. All of the Nike 21-22 third kits were not leaked as well yet.
We can not wait to see the non-leaked Nike kits for 21-22
Atlético Madrid
ATM 21-22 Away Jersey - Accuracy ~65%
The Atlético Madrid 21-22 away kit 'concept/prediction' was relatively close to the final kit but did not have the graphic design.
Barcelona
Nike FC Barcelona 2021-22 Home Jersey - Accuracy 90%
The only wrong thing was that the shirt has half-and-half sleeves to create a half-and-half look.
Chelsea
Chelsea 21-22 Home Jersey - Accuracy ~%70
The Chelsea 21-22 home kit shirt prediction was quite accurate. The checker pattern is more disrupting on the real shirt, and the actual kit also has a v-collar.

Leaked: Adidas Originals River Plate Retro Shirt Hints at 26-27 Away Kit
We have the first image of a brand-new Adidas Originals River Plate retro shirt. It is part of the team's 26-27 away collection.
The River Plate retro shirt features a color-blocked design reminiscent of classic 1980s sportswear. The upper half of the torso and the raglan sleeves are solid red, while the lower half is crisp white. Separating the two sections is a prominent, thick black horizontal chest band. A classic white Adidas Trefoil logo and the traditional River Plate shield sit high on the chest, keeping the design completely free of modern sponsors for a pure, vintage aesthetic.
Vitória SC Announces Hummel Kit Deal
Vitória Sport Clube has officially announced a new five-year technical sponsorship deal with Hummel, beginning with the 2026-27 season. The Danish sportswear brand will supply the Portuguese club's match kits, training gear, and lifestyle apparel until the end of the 2030-31 campaign. This agreement brings an end to Vitória SC's decade-long partnership with Macron, who had been the club's kit maker since the 2016-17 season.
The club described the new agreement as a "return to the past to project into the future," referencing Hummel's previous stint as Vitória SC's kit supplier during 1992-92.

Glentoran 26-27 Home Kit Released
Glentoran and Macron have launched the club's new 2026-27 home kit for the upcoming NIFL Premiership campaign. The design pays homage to the classic 1992-93 shirt worn during their memorable European Cup tie against Marseille, featuring a green body with red sleeves and shoulder panels separated by black trim.
Giving the shirt a distinct early 1990s retro feel, a red fold-over collar is included with black striping and a black V-shaped insert at the front. A tonal graphic pattern runs across both the green and red sections, adding texture to the Macron Eco Fabric. The Macron Hero logo appears in white on the chest and sleeves, sitting opposite the stitched Glentoran crest and its accompanying gold star.
Additional details include the club motto Le Jeu Avant Tout embroidered in white on the back of the collar, and Glentoran FC Est 1882 printed inside the lower hem. Featuring Bet McLean as the main sponsor, the new Glentoran 2026-27 home shirt is completed with matching white shorts and green socks.
