Arsenal Combines 21-22 Third Kit with Red Socks - Striking Mashup
Newly promoted Brentford kicked off the 30th season of the Premier League in style tonight against Arsenal. Arsenal lost the game 2-0 courtesy of goals from Canós and Nørgaard, but it was not the miserable performance that caught our eye.
The Gunners entered the pitch wearing the recently released Arsenal 2021-22 third shirt that combines a navy base with a turquoise graphic and white / red logos.
The first choice would be to pair the jersey with navy shorts and socks, but since Brentford, the home team, wore black socks Arsenal had to come up with another combination.
So the kitman ordered the team to wear navy / navy / red. It resulted in a very uncommon appearance to say the least.
Of course, this would have been easily preventable, but Arsenal prioritized to promote the new third shirt by wearing it in their first competitive match of the new season.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
