Bellerin Wears Sporting CP Classic 1996/97 European Competition Kit

On his social media, Bellerin was seen sporting one of the Green and Whites’ classic kits in his photoshoot with @maxgalys, the 1996/97 European home jersey to be exact. Sporting used it for the UEFA Cup competition during that year but unfortunately, they only lasted until the second round as they were eliminated by FC Metz 3-2 on aggregate.
The classic jersey that Bellerin wears was back when Sporting was still sponsored by Adidas and has a unique combination of white and Paris green colors. For that year, the three stripes didn’t use a normal logo but only a lettering type.

Aside from wearing the 1996-97 kit, Bellerin was also showcasing other classic Sporting shirts, such as the 1992-93 Adidas-made jersey. Other than the club’s match kits, the full-back also showed a white polo T-shirt in his social media shots.

Bellerin is Known to Enjoy Wearing Vintage Club Kits in the Past
The Spaniard was signed on a dry loan deal from Barcelona in the January transfer window to replace Pedro Porro, who joined Tottenham Hotspur. Although Bellerin has only made six appearances in total so far for Sporting, it looks like he already grows fond of the club’s, especially its classic kits.
It’s certainly not a surprise as Bellerin is quite known to be wearing some of his previous club’s classic jerseys at various events, notably during his time at Arsenal and Real Betis.

Considering his strong sense of fashion and fondness for retro football shirts, Sporting CP's classic kit surely won't be the last vintage jersey he will be wearing.

Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
