Deadline Day Announcement By Fabrizio Romano: Pedri Completes Switch to Adidas Predator
Feb 1, 2023, by Chris
Some days ago, we reported that the Adidas Copa football boot silo is in crisis, with main ambassadors Pedri and Joao Felix not wearing them anymore. Now Adidas have very successfully changed the narrative - it is not a Copa crisis but a Predator momentum.
Adidas Teased New Predator Accuracy With Pedri Transfer Deadline Day Announcement
Spanish midfielder Pedri has made the switch from the Adidas Copa to Adidas' latest creation, the Predator Accuracy. However, the sill switch was not announced in the quiet little room...
Adidas used the transfer deadline day to announce that Pedri would be "transferring" to the upgraded power silo. Pedri rolls up in his car with the window down, and when asked what he thinks of the latest transfer responds with "Perfecto! Preds never miss."

Adidas went so far as to use transfer guru Fabrizio Romano to help spread the "breaking news".
However, there were two imperfections.
First, the picture of Pedri with the Predator Accuracy boot with laces was inaccurate, as he is actually wearing the laceless version.
Second, the news of him "transferring" to the upgraded power silo was not really news. It was already known by football boot gurus and to our readers, as he has been wearing the boots since mid/late January 2023.
Adidas Predator Accuracy: "The ultimate goal-scoring boot"
For the Adidas Predator Accuracy 2023 football boots, Adidas have once again looked to their ever-growing family of Predators for inspiration. Aesthetically both bold from far and impressive in detail, the Adidas Accuracy football boot boasts high-definition grip technology on its medial side, Hybridtouch microfiber material for comfort and protection, and is crafted with Adidas' proprietary Primeknit material for lightweight comfort.

FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.

Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
