Augsburg 23-24 Third Kit Teased

The Belgium national team has caught the attention of football fans during the 2026 World Cup not just for their performances on the pitch, but for their highly creative lineup graphics. Throughout the tournament, the official Belgian Red Devils social media accounts have been sharing unique, retro-themed starting XI announcements that stand out from the standard templates used by most other national teams. Big thanks to @TheShirtUnion.

The standout design from Belgium's 2026 World Cup campaign is a cassette tape motif, which was used for their matches against New Zealand, Egypt, and Senegal. Tied to their sponsorship with PwC, the graphics feature different cassette tape designs for each player, accompanied by captions like "Now playing: our starting XI". Other creative themes have included movie cast lists and tactical roadmaps, earning widespread praise from fans for being fresh and unique.

With national team social media graphics often becoming repetitive during major tournaments, Belgium's approach offers a welcome change. The attention to detail and retro aesthetic of the cassette tapes have made these lineup announcements highly anticipated before each match, generating significant engagement and setting a high standard for tournament graphics.

The new MSV Duisburg home kit for the 2026-27 season has been released, introducing a controversial take on the club's traditional look. Made by Adidas in collaboration with 11teamsports, the shirt replaces the classic solid blue and white zebra stripes with a pattern of jagged, individual lines.

According to the 3. Liga club, this modern design choice is intended to symbolize the many people and connections that make up the club's fan base as MSV Duisburg approaches its 125th anniversary in 2027.

Newly signed FC Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari has chosen to wear the number 34 shirt for the 2026-27 season as a heartfelt tribute to his friend Abdelhak Nouri. Nouri, who wore the number 34 during his time at Ajax, suffered a cardiac arrhythmia on the pitch in 2017, leaving him with severe and permanent brain damage. Explaining his choice, Saibari stated that he wants to support Nouri, noting that while he survived, he has been unable to move without assistance since the tragic incident. By taking on Nouri's final squad number, Saibari joins a list of players across Europe who have honored the former Ajax talent.

Mexican powerhouse Chivas has officially announced that Nike will become the club's new kit supplier, starting from the Apertura 2026 tournament (2026-27 season). The announcement was made under the slogan "Futuro Sagrado" and marks the end of Chivas' decade-long partnership with Puma. This deal also sees Nike return to sponsoring a major club in the Mexican Liga MX.

Fans will not have to wait long to see the first designs from the new partnership. The inaugural Nike Chivas 2026-27 uniforms are scheduled to be officially presented on July 18, 2026, just ahead of the team's match against Toluca. The announcement has already generated significant excitement among the fanbase, who are eager to see the iconic Swoosh featured alongside the famous red and white stripes.

Nike has released a special edition of the iconic Total 90 III silhouette, dedicated to the Croatian national team.

The Nike Total 90 Checkered 'Croatia' features a striking red and white checkered design across the upper, directly inspired by the famous home kits of the Croatian national team. The classic T90 branding remains prominent on the shoe, maintaining the distinctive look of the original football boot. This release transforms the classic silhouette into a lifestyle sneaker, capitalizing on the ongoing trend of retro football footwear.

The Nike Total 90 III 'Croatia' sneakers have been available on Nike.com and select retailers since late June 2026.

This launch is part of a broader revival of the Total 90 line throughout 2026, which has included various re-releases and high-profile collaborations.

Following the announcement of their new partnership back in March, Hansa Rostock and Reebok have officially unveiled the club's new 2026-27 home kit. This release is particularly notable as it marks Reebok's first-ever stint as a kit supplier for a German football club, taking over from previous supplier Mizuno.

The Reebok Hansa Rostock 2026-27 home shirt draws heavy inspiration from the club's history, specifically the legendary "Travimpex" kit from the 1993-94 season. It features the traditional blue and white vertical stripes, interrupted by a distinct white chest block that houses the main sponsor logo. The classic Reebok vector logo is placed on the right chest, complementing the traditional club crest on the left.

Designed in collaboration with club members and fans, the Hansa Rostock 2026-27 home kit successfully combines a retro aesthetic with modern details. The new kit is available to purchase starting July 1, 2026.
