Sampdoria Tribute to Vialli and Mihajlovic
The special shirt has the engraving of Vialli and Mihajlovic's initials along with the eternity sign in between. The Luca and Sinisa engraving was placed inside the match jersey's collar.
Aside from wearing the special jersey with Luca-Sinisa collar, during warm-up, La Samp players entered the pitch wearing Vialli named jersey on their back.
Before the match started, Sampdoria's coaching staff also unfold both Vialli and Mihajlovic jerseys from the dugout. Unfortunately, La Samp couldn't marked the tribute night with a win as they were beaten 2-0 by current league leader, Napoli.
Vialli was a legendary figure for the Blucerchiati as he played for them from 1984 to 1992 before moving to Juventus.
During his time at Sampdoria, he helped them win several titles especially the Scudetto in the 1990-1991 season.
The former striker sadly passed away on January 6, 2023, after losing his battle against cancer. Meanwhile, Mihajlvoic was also an important figure for La Samp as he played for four years (1994-1998) for them. The former defender passed away on December 16, 2022, also due to cancer.

Adidas Hide Clever River Plate Detail on Socks
Adidas have hidden a clever tribute to River Plate's iconic identity on the club's 2026-27 home socks. Rather than using a standard "RIVER" wordmark, the German brand has subtly reshaped one side of the "V" to recreate the club's famous red diagonal sash.
The detail references one of football's most recognizable shirt designs. According to club tradition, River Plate's iconic sash originated in 1905, when members of the club took a red ribbon from a carnival parade and placed it diagonally across a plain white shirt, creating a design that has remained synonymous with the Argentine giants ever since.
This detail does not appear on the black sock option.
