Leeds Third Kit Features Same Color as Purple Real Madrid 22-23 Away Kit
Unveiled a couple of days ago, the Leeds United 2021-22 third kit gives us a first idea of what to expect from one of next season's most important Adidas launches.
As spotted by us on the official Adidas website this morning, the purple used on the Leeds kit is actually the exact same shade that will also be the base for the Real Madrid 2022-23 away kit.
We reported earlier this month that the Real Madrid 22-23 away kit would be "Light Purple", matching the accent color of the home. And as it's a color that's not regularly used by Adidas for football kit, it's good to have a reference in the new Leeds shirt.
What's especially interesting is that the Leeds third kit pairs the light purple base color with a dark blue for the logos, while the other accents are white - at the moment it remains to be seen which accent and logo colors will be used on the 2022-2023 Real Madrid away jersey.
The Real Madrid 22-23 away kit is set to be released in May / June 2022, so please stay tuned for more details and info over the coming months.

RFEF Official Store AI Chatbot Recommends Fake Spain Jerseys
The official store of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has experienced an embarrassing glitch, as its AI-powered chatbot is reportedly advising fans to purchase counterfeit Spain national team jerseys instead of the official merchandise.

FC Twente and Castore have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The launch follows a successful campaign that saw the team finish fourth in the Eredivisie and secure European football, with the club using the motto "We continue the line" for the new release.
The Castore FC Twente 2026-27 home shirt introduces a clean and traditional look in the club's classic red. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary 2009-10 championship-winning season, the standout design feature is a subtle, thin vertical line pattern that runs across the entire shirt. Adding a local touch, the word 'Tukkers' is proudly incorporated into the collar, while various club-specific elements are embedded within the back numbers.
