Is This the New Adidas mi Team/Locker Room 2023 Template?
Mar 28, 2023, by John
With the recent release of some smaller clubs' Adidas kits, many unique looking color schemes appeared, however, a universal template could be observed.
Adidas 2023 mi Team Template
The old Adidas mi Team website was decommissioned back in December of 2022, relocating to Adidas Locker Room. However, this site is not yet publically available, only granting access to retailers.
This means the new 2023 mi Team templates have been shrouded in mystery. That is until now, since the new Nordic Adidas shirts for the 2023 season have shed some light on the matter.
None of these clubs are large enough to receive bespoke designs from the German brand, being given mi Team designs in past seasons. This year looks to be the same, as all were outfitted with an identical template.

This new 2023 mi Team template is inspired by the 2022 World Cup designs, featuring the same side stripes and back panels, along with the new Adidas logo of course. In fact, it is the first mi Team kit to make use of the new logo.
There also seems to be an option for choosing the collar style: V-shape and crew neck. The only graphics we know so far are stripes, pinstripes and blank.
Otherwise there are many similarities to last year's mi License 22 template, especially around the sleeves and shoulders.
In our opinion, Adidas have done an amazing job with their new mi Team jersey, since it allows smaller teams to display their own colours and designs rather than relying on simple teamwear.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
