Dryworld Tease Announcement of "Premier Sport" Kit Deal
Update: In their latest end-of-year update, released in early January, Dryworld have announced that they will announce a "technical partnership with a Premier Sport team starting July 2022."
The phrasing as well as the month of July hint at this being about a football team, although so far we haven't heard of any imminent deal involving the brand.
In 2016, a new brand entered the football market - Dryworld. Now we can confirm that Dryworld are set to reenter the soccer market and sponsor teams again.
Dryworld Industries Inc. are a Canadian athletic footwear and apparel company based in Victoria, BC, Canada. They have a short but controversial history in football.
Dryworld apparently went bankrupt in 2017
In 2016, Dryworld signed deals with English soccer clubs Watford and Queens Park Rangers as well as Brazilian soccer clubs Fluminense, Goiás, and Atlético Mineiro. However, already by January 2017, Dryworld apparently went bankrupt. They did not supply any teams since then.
In December 2020, Dryworld completed a reverse merger with Nexus Energy Services to become a publicly-traded company.

In-House Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 2026 Kits Released
The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation (SVGFF) has officially unveiled a brand-new set of in-house kits for the national football team, nicknamed Vincy Heat. Opting out of a deal with a traditional sportswear brand, the federation designed and produced the collection internally under a dedicated campaign titled "Ours."
The launch showcases three distinct colourways celebrating the island nation's flag: yellow, royal blue, and emerald green. All three jerseys share an identical template characterized by a sharp V-neck collar, fine contrast shoulder piping, and matching sleeve cuffs. Across the torso, each shirt features a dynamic diagonal brushstroke pattern embedded with micro-motifs reminiscent of the three diamonds seen on the national flag.
Contrasting details complete the look, with royal blue accents adorning the primary yellow jersey, and vivid yellow trims framing both the blue and green alternatives. Centered around themes of national pride and identity, the collection is headlined by slogans such as "Our Nation. Our Culture. Our Team" and "Wherever we go, we carry home."
Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
