Real Madrid to Keep Modern Logo for 24-25 Third Kit, Defying Adidas Elite Lineup
Like in the 23-24 season, Real Madrid will keep their modern logo for the third kit in the 24-25 season. All other current Adidas Elite teams use a retro logo or special "icon" crest.
The Adidas 24-25 Elite Team third kits, set to be released in August next year, will feature the classic Trefoil logo, plus unique crests for all teams except for Madrid. Bayern Munich, Juventus, Arsenal, and Manchester United all have different logos for their third kits in the 24-25 season. It remains to be seen if Flamengo, the sixth current Elite team, will again use a special logo for their third kit.
Indeed, Juventus will be using a retro logo for the first time in 2024-25 with these classic-inspired third kits. In the 23-24 season, Juventus used the modern (and often hated) logo. While many likely hoped that Madrid would incorporate retro logos into their kit for the 24-25 season, the club have chosen to stick with their modern logo.

Real Madrid Logo History - via Football Kit Archive
In case you were not aware - it's not that Madrid do not have fitting classic logos. The first-ever logo, featuring the letters M, C, and F, could be a great option. The 1941-1998 crest, meanwhile, looks very similar to the current logo in duo colors - it would only make sense to have it in the original colors.

Adidas CEO Wears Custom Hlaf-and-Half Mexico / South Africa Kit at 2026 World Cup Opening Match
Adidas CEO Björn Gulden caught the attention of football shirt fans at the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup between Mexico and South Africa. For the occasion, Gulden wore a unique, custom-made half-and-half Adidas jersey combining the home kits of both competing nations.
The bespoke shirt features a direct split down the middle, merging the green base and red details of the Mexico 2026 home kit with the yellow and green design of the South Africa 2026 home kit. As both Mexico and South Africa are sponsored by Adidas, the mash-up served as a diplomatic and promotional choice for the brand's chief executive at the tournament's inaugural game.
This split Mexico and South Africa jersey is a one-off custom creation specifically made for the Adidas CEO and will not be available for retail sale. It highlights the brand's prominent presence at the 2026 World Cup right from the opening whistle.
South Korea 2026 World Cup Home Kit Features National Flag on Sleeve
The South Korea 2026 World Cup home kit, made by Nike, has been revealed with a notable detail on the left sleeve. The new jersey prominently displays the South Korean national flag, adding a classic touch to the overall design. This element complements the nation's iconic red base, continuing the visual identity established by Nike for the upcoming tournament.
Following the initial reveal, football fans quickly pointed out that the inclusion of the national flag is a consistent feature in South Korea's kit history. Social media discussions highlighted several past uniforms that also displayed the flag, confirming that this design choice honors a long-standing tradition for the national team.
Puma Czech Republic 2026 Kit Heavily Torn During Match
During a recent 2026 World Cup match, Czech Republic player Pavel Šulc experienced a significant kit malfunction when his Puma jersey was heavily torn. Images from the game show the shirt ripped in several places and hanging in tatters, drawing immediate attention from fans and spectators.
The incident has sparked criticism regarding the durability and quality of Puma's current national team kits. Fans on social media were quick to point out the extreme thinness of the material, with many comparing the fabric to paper. The scene also brought back memories of previous instances where Puma kits were easily damaged during major international tournaments, most notably with the Switzerland team at Euro 2016.
While modern football shirts are designed to be highly lightweight and breathable to aid player performance, this level of tearing raises questions about the balance between advanced materials and basic structural integrity. Puma has yet to officially comment on the exact cause of the material failure.
