Standard Liege Announce Adidas Kit Deal
May 18, 2021, by Pat
Standard Liege have just announced a kit deal with Adidas that will see the brand return to the Belgian club next season after two previous, successful stints.
Standard Liege's kits will be once again made by Adidas as was already the case between 1976-1981 and 1987-2003. The three-stripe brand replace New Balance, who supplied Standard's kits since 2017-18.
Alexandre Grosjean (CEO Standard de Liège): "It is a great pleasure and pride for us to renew our relationship with a mythical equipment manufacturer considered as a reference by all. Our club and adidas share the same values that are so dear to our supporters and we intend to offer them a lot of pleasure and emotions together in the coming seasons, as was already the case in the past."
Gavin Thomson (SVP and General Manager adidas North): "As a sports brand, we are always looking for strong partners that match our values. This renewed collaboration with a passionate soccer club like Standard Liege fits perfectly into this perspective. We proudly look back on our common history, while looking forward to adding new chapters with the club and its fans."

Katowice 26-27 Third Kit Released
Polish Ekstraklasa side GKS Katowice and Macron have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, drawing deep inspiration from regional Silesian heritage. The shirt arrives in a rich burgundy base covered in an all-over embossed rose pattern, celebrating a traditional folk motif that symbolizes youth, beauty, love, and rebirth across local attire and architecture. Finished with vibrant yellow logos and accents alongside black and yellow sleeve cuffs and collar trim, the bespoke jersey is scheduled to make its on-pitch debut in Katowice's upcoming Ekstraklasa clash against Cracovia.
Germany to Wear 1990 Away Remake Kit Against Netherlands
Germany will take the pitch in a special throwback look for their 26-27 UEFA Nations League showdown against the Netherlands on September 24, 2026, at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam. The DFB has confirmed that the national team will wear an official remake of their iconic 1990 away kit for the encounter, which will also mark the official debut of new head coach Jürgen Klopp.
The shirt is an authentic reproduction released under Adidas' Bringback collection. It recreates the famous geometric zigzag chevron graphic in alternating shades of green that create a dynamic 3D effect across the torso. Completing the retro aesthetic are a contrasting white overlapping V-neck collar, the classic Trefoil logo, and the vintage Deutscher Fussball-Bund crest. The original design remains etched in football folklore, famously worn during West Germany's 1990 World Cup campaign, including their memorable semi-final penalty shootout triumph against England.
With Nike preparing to take over as Germany's technical supplier starting in 2027, the match serves as a high-profile send-off for Adidas as the brand celebrates the final months of its historic, multi-decade partnership with the German federation. The team will pair the green jersey with classic white shorts and green socks, and replica editions have been made available for supporters.
Indonesia 2026 Third Kit Released
Spanish sportswear brand Kelme and the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) have officially launched the new Indonesia 2026 third shirt. The fresh strip is scheduled to make its competitive debut during the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup.
Departing from the team's traditional red and white colors, the Kelme Indonesia 2026 third jersey is predominantly light blue, drawing inspiration from the nation's vast seas and maritime identity. The front of the shirt features vertical stripes filled with floral graphics honoring the puspa bangsa, Indonesia's national jasmine flower. A classic white polo collar and matching white sleeve cuffs add a clean, retro touch to the design.
The kit is made from a lightweight, breathable jacquard material engineered for performance in tropical climates and is available in both Player Issue and Replica versions.
Nick Woltemade Spotted in Camouflaged Adidas F50 Boots Disguised as Predator 26
German forward Nick Woltemade has once again caught the attention of boot spotters following his loan switch to Juventus for the 26-27 season. In training sessions with the Bianconeri, the 24-year-old was seen wearing a bespoke pair of Adidas boots featuring a clever optical illusion: a laceless Adidas F50 speed boot disguised as a Predator 26. Big thanks to sr4u.
At first glance, the footwear mimics the visual language of the Predator silo, complete with simulated rubber strike elements and bold graphic patterning. A closer look, however, immediately reveals the telltale silhouette of the laceless F50. The boots feature the aerodynamic shape, seamless upper, and lightweight sole plate of the speed boot, with the Predator rubber fins merely printed onto the smooth synthetic shell rather than physically present.
This is not the first time Woltemade has turned heads with this specific setup. He was previously spotted in similar disguised F50 boots while on international duty with Germany earlier this year. Custom camouflage of this variety typically occurs when a player relies on the lightweight build and locked-in feel of a speed silo while marketing alignment or personal styling favors the identity of another line.
CA Peñarol 2026 135th Anniversary Kit Released - Honoring CURCC Roots
Puma and Uruguayan giants Club Atlético Peñarol have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit celebrating the club's 135th anniversary. Founded on September 28, 1891, as the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC), Peñarol traditionally honors its rich history each September with a bespoke commemorative release.
The Peñarol 2026 135th anniversary shirt takes direct inspiration from the early uniforms worn during the team's formative years. It features a distinctive half-and-half layout, combining a solid black left side with thin yellow and black vertical stripes running down the right. The long sleeves mirror the split design of the body, complemented by a classic black polo collar detailed with subtle yellow trim.
Completing the heritage aesthetic, a retro CURCC shield encircled by golden laurel branches replaces the club's contemporary badge on the chest. The reverse side features vintage stitched-effect white numbering and the historic Decano inscription above the player name, while all sponsor logos appear in gold.
