Bahia 2023 "City Group" Kit
This is the new Esquadrão Bahia "City Group" jersey for 2023.
The Esquadrão Bahia 2023 "City Group" shirt is sky blue with a weave pattern reminiscent of the ocean's surface. A white v neck collar and the white cuffs contain navy and red elements, the traditional colours of the club.
Below the neckline on the back there is a slogan reading "Bahia is the world", and a globe emblem is found on the cuffs. A special jocktag is placed above the hemline.

Some recent City Football Group club shirts.
Bahia will become the 13th club in City Football Group's international portfolio. Almost all clubs updated their visual identity shortly after becoming part of City Group, with roundel crests adopted by many and sky blue adopted as their primary colour, reflecting that of Man City and the group themselves.
Bahia have used the colours of white, blue and red since their inception in 1931, representing the two teams which merged to form the new club and the state of Bahia. City Football Group have not forced all of their clubs to adopt the same visual identity, allowing their recent acquisitions to keep their primary colours and crests, but introducing sky blue shirts as away or third kits. We could see this same pattern emerging in Bahia kits in years to come.

Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
