It was a strange sight to behold, seeing football clubs in Ireland wearing uniforms of Yugoslavia
The year 1992 marked the end for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The political turmoil meant that their national team got disqualified from EURO 92. In their place were the eventual champions Denmark.
Irish Clubs Wearing Yugoslavia's Kit
So how does this happened?
The Adidas' factory that produced replicas of FR Yugoslavia uniforms was left with an excess of unwanted stocks. With the Balkan nation out of EURO 92, there were, understandably, little interest in their kits.
A couple of small clubs in Ireland saw the chance to kit out their players with good equipment and decided to take the undesirable shirts.

Meanwhile, Cork's local club Leeds AFC used the kits for their junior team.
The FR Yugoslavia kits still saw action after EURO 92 in several friendlies that were played by the new Yugoslavia team, consisted of players from the two nations Serbia and Montenegro.

Argentina Become First Team to Use Two Different World Cup Champions Badges
Since its introduction in 2007 and first appearance on Italy's 2008 kits, the World Cup Champions Badge has always come in two versions: gold and white. This allows teams to match the badge contrast with their kit colors.
However, until now, every defending champion had only used one version of the badge at a World Cup. Italy used only the white badge in 2010, despite they have the gold version on away kit. While Spain (2014), Germany (2018), and France (2022) done the same with gold badge on every kits.
Argentina broke this by using both versions of the badge on their kits at the 2026 World Cup, becoming the first team to do so. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for spotting this detail.
