May 25, 2021, by Khoi
Yesterday, British telecom company BT announced the creation of Hope United, which includes various top footballers, as their new project to raise awareness of online abuse.
Hope United's Mission
Abusive comments and online behaviours have been a hot topic for quite a long time, especially since the rise of social media.
BT has commissioned a research on this problem and found 1 in 10 has received online abuse last year.
Hope United features the likes of: Gareth Bale, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Lucy Bronze etc. with Rio Ferdinand as one of the managers
Footballers who join the project will give a lesson on the topic, starting from May 27 with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Lucy Bronze Manchester City Women's Lucy Bronze.
“Some believe that social media abuse is an inescapable part of life for footballers. Hope United wants to show that this doesn’t have to be the case,” says Jordan Henderson.
Meanwhile, Karen Carney, talks about her past experience with the abuse she received: “It was relentless. I can’t even describe it. I’m low key, a simple girl who loves football. I don’t want to be bombarded on social media platforms. It wasn’t for one hour, it was for three or four days and now it still comes up – people still send me abuse.”
Rio Ferdinand, joint head coach of the team, is hopeful of the project: “I am delighted to have been appointed the manager of Hope United. I’m proud to head up a team of players from across the Home Nations who want to work together in a bid to raise awareness of online hate, and also encourage people to spread positivity and hope ahead of the Euros this summer.”

Nike Sabrina 4 Outsole Sparks Comparisons to Ezeta Logo
Nike has unveiled the latest colorway of Sabrina Ionescu's signature basketball shoe, the Nike Sabrina 4 "The Switch". While the sneaker stands out with its vibrant blend of desert pink and lemon venom tones, a detailed look at the outsole has caught the attention of the football kit community for an unexpected reason.
The shoe's traction pattern features an intricate array of small, angled rubber lugs designed to deliver multi-directional court grip. However, numerous fans and followers noticed that the shape of these individual traction nubs looks remarkably similar to the geometric emblem of Italian sportswear brand Ezeta, prompting many to message the label's founders about the resemblance.
While the outsole pattern is undoubtedly Nike's performance-oriented traction engineered around Sabrina's signature identity, the visual likeness to Ezeta's mark is striking. Do you think this is purely a coincidence, or a curious case of parallel design?

Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Spanish Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca and technical partner Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Staying true to the club's fan-owned ethos, the designs were chosen directly by club members through an open design competition and multi-stage vote.
The Erreà Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition with a half-and-half black and white design, accented by subtle tonal vertical pinstripes across the front. Bright yellow trim details the collar and sleeve cuffs, while the back features a clean white panel with fine pinstripes to host player names and numbers.
Taking a bold and creative direction, the Unionistas 26-27 away jersey features a vibrant pink base that fades into deep navy tones towards the bottom hem. The shirt pays tribute to the local region by subtly embedding the names of all 362 municipalities in the province of Salamanca into the fabric graphic, while sleeve cuffs carry lyrics dedicated to the club's loyal travelling fanbase.
Club Legend Dida Pictured in AC Milan Home Kit
AC Milan legend Nelson Dida has been spotted wearing the club's home kit, bringing a wave of nostalgia to Rossoneri supporters. The legendary Brazilian goalkeeper, who spent a trophy-laden decade at San Siro winning two Champions League titles and a Serie A crown, showed that the classic red and black look fits club icons seamlessly.
The jersey is designed by Puma and marks a return to classic style, featuring traditional thick red-and-black vertical stripes across the body. White sponsor and manufacturer logos complement the iconic colorway, along with refined collar and cuff detailing that blends heritage with modern performance aesthetics.
Seeing Dida sporting an outfield home jersey rather than his familiar goalkeeper attire was a pleasant surprise for fans, highlighting the enduring connection between the club's celebrated history and its modern visual identity.
