Lame? Adidas Originals Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Ajax, Leeds & Celtic Essential 22-23 Collections Released
Out of nowhere, Adidas today launched a special basic retro collection for all of their biggest teams as well as a few more clubs. Introducing the Adidas Originals Essential 2022-2023 collection.
Adidas Originals Essential 2022-2023 Club Collection
As the name suggests, the Adidas Originals Essential collection is a no-nonsense pack. It has a clean and classic feel throughout. Oddly, all items of the Adidas Originals 22-23 Essential collection come without Three Stripes.
There are no Three Stripes
Indeed, each item is the same for each club, except for the colors and club logos.
Each team gets 5-7 items as part of the Adidas Originals Essential collection - a track jacket, hoodie, sweatshirt, track pants, and t-shirt was released for every club.
All logos, with a few exceptions (Bayern shorts...), are stitched. They appear to be the same as those featured on the replica kits.
The new Adidas Originals Essential collection also includes Adidas Samba shoes for the five Adidas Elite teams - Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Juventus.
We miss club-specific detailing
All in all, it might be one of the most boring and uninspired collections released by Adidas in the past few years. We miss bespoke detailing and other (small) elements that make the items unique for each club.

In terms of prices, the new Adidas Originals club collection is similarly priced as Adidas Originals stuff without club logos. The cheapest item is the t-shirt (27 Euro), and the most expensive clothing item is the track jacket (80 Euro). For the Adidas Samba shoes, the Three Stripes want 88 Euro. Women's and Kids' sizes are available as well.

Leaked: Adidas Originals River Plate Retro Shirt Hints at 26-27 Away Kit
We have the first image of a brand-new Adidas Originals River Plate retro shirt. It is part of the team's 26-27 away collection.
The River Plate retro shirt features a color-blocked design reminiscent of classic 1980s sportswear. The upper half of the torso and the raglan sleeves are solid red, while the lower half is crisp white. Separating the two sections is a prominent, thick black horizontal chest band. A classic white Adidas Trefoil logo and the traditional River Plate shield sit high on the chest, keeping the design completely free of modern sponsors for a pure, vintage aesthetic.
Vitória SC Announces Hummel Kit Deal
Vitória Sport Clube has officially announced a new five-year technical sponsorship deal with Hummel, beginning with the 2026-27 season. The Danish sportswear brand will supply the Portuguese club's match kits, training gear, and lifestyle apparel until the end of the 2030-31 campaign. This agreement brings an end to Vitória SC's decade-long partnership with Macron, who had been the club's kit maker since the 2016-17 season.
The club described the new agreement as a "return to the past to project into the future," referencing Hummel's previous stint as Vitória SC's kit supplier during 1992-92.

SV Austria Salzburg 26-27 Home Kit Released
The new SV Austria Salzburg home kit for the 26-27 season has been officially released today. Made by Capelli, the new shirt will be worn by the club in the Austrian 2. Liga.
The Capelli SV Austria Salzburg 2026-27 home jersey features a bespoke design in the club's traditional colors. It incorporates two different tones of violet and is highlighted by a custom graphic showcasing the Hohensalzburg fortress and the towers of the old town, representing the team's local identity and heritage.
The Capelli SV Austria Salzburg 2026-27 home football shirt is available to purchase immediately through the club's official fanshop, retailing at a price of 69 Euro.
Glentoran 26-27 Home Kit Released
Glentoran and Macron have launched the club's new 2026-27 home kit for the upcoming NIFL Premiership campaign. The design pays homage to the classic 1992-93 shirt worn during their memorable European Cup tie against Marseille, featuring a green body with red sleeves and shoulder panels separated by black trim.
Giving the shirt a distinct early 1990s retro feel, a red fold-over collar is included with black striping and a black V-shaped insert at the front. A tonal graphic pattern runs across both the green and red sections, adding texture to the Macron Eco Fabric. The Macron Hero logo appears in white on the chest and sleeves, sitting opposite the stitched Glentoran crest and its accompanying gold star.
Additional details include the club motto Le Jeu Avant Tout embroidered in white on the back of the collar, and Glentoran FC Est 1882 printed inside the lower hem. Featuring Bet McLean as the main sponsor, the new Glentoran 2026-27 home shirt is completed with matching white shorts and green socks.
Grimsby Town Announces Lotto Kit Deal
Grimsby Town Football Club has officially announced a multi-year partnership with Italian sportswear brand Lotto Sport, who will become the club's official kit supplier starting from the 2026-27 season. Lotto replaces Umbro, whose kits were supplied to the club in collaboration with Kitlocker.
The announcement has been met with a positive reaction from fans, many of whom fondly remember the club's previous stint with Lotto kits in the late 1990s.
While no official images of the new 2026-27 kits have been released yet, supporters are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the new designs.
