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.

Brazil Did Not Leave Enough Space for FIFA 2026 World Cup 'Debut' Patch
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has introduced a highly detailed new system of sleeve badges, including a special "DEBUT" patch for players making their very first appearance in the tournament. However, on-pitch visuals of Brazil have revealed a glaring spatial issue: the Brazilian kit men did not leave enough space for it.
As seen on players like Danilo during their opening fixtures, the "DEBUT" patch has to be crammed awkwardly against the bottom stitching - the World Cup badge has been placed too low.
Brazil's kit managers apparently ignored the official application guidelines provided by badge manufacturer Avery Dennison. According to the leaked application manual, kits must have 55mm free under the regular badge for the debut patch - 20mm for the debut badge, plus spacing of 15mm (top) and 20 mm (bottom).
