Adidas to Use Old & New Logo In 2022 World Cup
Some days ago, the Adidas 2022 World Cup ball was leaked. However, it features the "old" Adidas logo - let us find out why.
Current Adidas Logo: Adidas 2022 World Cup Ball to Be Already Launched In April 2022
The reason for the Adidas 2022 World Cup ball to feature the old logo is pretty simple - the football will be already launched on 1 April 2022, the date of the 2022 World Cup draw.
Adidas do not want to showcase the new logo in April when the ball is unveiled but in September 2022 with the launch of the World Cup kits
However, the new Adidas logo will be not introduced before the launch of the 2022 World Cup kits certainly - we expect them to be revealed in September 2021. The last and only international fixtures in 22-23 before the 2022 World Cup will take place between 19–27 September 2022.
Adidas to Change Logo For Kits
Adidas want certainly to prevent launching the ball with the new logo in April and shortly later launch the 22-23 kits with the old logo, in May. All Adidas stuff until the 2022 World Cup items will come with the current Adidas logo - the 22-23 kits, the first boot releases of 22-23 as well as all other gear.
The 22-23 kits feature the old logo
From late 2022 and the 2022 World Cup, in particular, Adidas will use the new logo for all Adidas Performance stuff. The Adidas 2022 World Cup kits, boots, keeper gloves, and other new stuff will feature the new logo.
In fact, the 2022 World Cup referee kits will certainly also feature the current "old" logo.
in the 2022 World Cup, there will be logo inconsistency
So, in the 2022 World Cup, there will be inconsistency. The ball and referee kits with the old Adidas logo, everything else with the new.
The Adidas 2023 teamwear kits and the Adidas MLS 2023 kits will of course also come with the new branding.
Should Adidas already use their new logo for the 2022 World Cup ball? Comment below.

FC Annecy 26-27 Away Kit Released
Ligue 2 outfit FC Annecy and technical sponsor Adidas have officially launched the club's new away jersey for the 26-27 season. Completing the team's set following the earlier arrivals of their home and third shirts, the new alternate look delivers a timeless and elegant aesthetic.
The Adidas FC Annecy 26-27 away shirt is built around a crisp white base, highlighted by a sharp red polo collar. Deep red detailing continues onto the shoulders with the brand's signature three stripes, as well as the Adidas logo on the chest and Annecy's stylized gothic 'A' crest. The club's various sponsor logos, headlined by shipping company MSC alongside regional partners E.Leclerc Annecy, Teamwork, and Haute-Savoie le Département, are also rendered in matching red tones.
The new strip is completed with white shorts and socks, and is set to be worn across their 26-27 Ligue 2 campaign.
FC Südtirol 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian Serie B club FC Südtirol and technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Completing the club's matchday wardrobe alongside the previously launched home and away strips, the design draws strong inspiration from the natural alpine scenery and vineyard landscapes of the South Tyrol region.
The Erreà FC Südtirol 26-27 third jersey arrives in an elegant cream and off-white base complemented by deep forest green accents. A faint, tonal organic pattern runs across the fabric, while the front features the "Südtirol" wordmark alongside the iconic mountain silhouette in dark green, placed directly above main sponsor Alperia. Both the Erreà emblem and the diamond-shaped FCS crest are rendered in a clean monochrome green style.
Contrasting green detailing finishes the rear collar, sleeve cuffs, and side flanks of the shirt. The uniform is completed by matching off-white shorts and socks, both accented with forest green trim and club lettering. The FC Südtirol 26-27 third kit is available through the club's official store.
Erreà San Marino Women's 2026 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian sportswear brand Erreà and the San Marino Football Federation (FSGC) have officially revealed the first bespoke home and away kits for the newly established San Marino women's senior national football team. Founded earlier this year under the guidance of head coach Giulia Domenichetti, the squad will debut the new uniforms in their first official international friendly matches against Liechtenstein and Gibraltar.
Both jerseys take direct inspiration from San Marino's most famous national symbols, the Three Towers of Mount Titano: Guaita, Cesta, and Montale. The home shirt is predominantly white with delicate celeste blue and dark blue accents on the polo-style V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Subtly woven into the fabric is an embossed tone-on-tone pattern representing the historic towers, paired with matching white shorts and socks.
The away jersey flips the color scheme into a deep navy blue, highlighted by vertical repeating silhouettes of the Three Towers across the front. White side panels and light blue trim on the collar add sharp contrast, accompanied by matching navy shorts and socks. Both kits are produced using Erreà's lightweight Future fabric as part of the UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme, and feature custom "FSGC 1931" tape inside the back collar.
Champions League 'Debut' Sleeve Patches Make On-Pitch Debut
The brand-new UEFA Champions League 'Debut' sleeve patch made its official on-pitch appearance during Matchday 1 of the 26-27 season. Introduced through a collaboration between UEFA, UC3, and Topps (Fanatics Collectibles), the initiative is designed to highlight and celebrate players making their first-ever career appearance in Europe's premier club competition.
The special badge adds a curved blue emblem featuring the word 'DEBUT' integrated into the bottom of the iconic Champions League Starball sleeve badge, including the club badge of honour editions. The patch is strictly awarded for active on-pitch participation, meaning only starting players and substituted debutants wear it. Unused substitutes on the bench do not qualify until they physically step onto the pitch, and a player can only wear the debut badge once in their entire career.
The badge also bridges the gap between matchday kit and football memorabilia. Following the match, the blue 'DEBUT' element is removed from the player's match-worn jersey, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, and delivered to Topps. It will then be permanently embedded into a unique 1-of-1 autographed trading card for upcoming Topps collections, while the underlying badge remains visible on the shirt so the player can retain their jersey as a personal memento.
Next-Gen Puma Future 10 Prototype Spotted - Netfit Return?
Chelsea star and key Puma athlete Morgan Rogers has been spotted testing an intriguing all-white prototype during training, providing the first clear look at what is expected to be the next-generation Puma Future 10 football boots.
The most striking detail of the blackout/whiteout boot is a completely overhauled upper construction. Shifting away from the FUZIONFIT systems that defined recent iterations including the Future 9, the prototype features a distinct honeycomb-patterned structure. This textured webbing strongly recalls Puma's original Netfit concept from early Future models, hinting at a revived or modernized take on fully customizable lockdown and dynamic fit.
Along with the revamped upper, the boots appear to feature a low-profile knit collar and a lightweight soleplate tailored for agility and sharp turns. With top endorsers like Rogers already putting prototypes through their paces, the next-gen Puma Future 10 is expected to debut in late 2026 or early 2027 during the 26-27 season.
