Newcastle United Presents Haptic Football Kits + Wears Special Sponsor & Removes Back Stripes for Deaf
- Haptic Kits: Newcastle United created special haptic football kits with sensors that allow deaf fans to feel the stadium's atmosphere through vibrations.
- Sponsor Change: Newcastle's front-of-shirt sponsor, Sela, was replaced by the charity RNID for the match, and pitch-side branding was also donated.
- Kit Modification: The Newcastle team removed the back stripes from their kits to improve visibility of player names and numbers, alongside the haptic kits for fans.
Update: Newcastle United created a special experience for deaf fans in the Premier League match vs Tottenham.
The club supplied fans with shirts that could "speak". These shirts use tactile technology to help people with hearing problems feel the vibrant atmosphere of the stadium through sensors on the shirt. This special shirt is part of the "Unsilence The Crowd" campaign by Newcastle United, sponsors Sela and charity RNID (Royal National Institute for the Deaf).

The jerseys of the Newcastle players also changed, with sponsor Sela ceding the front shirt position to RNID. In addition, Newcastle United removed the stripes from the back, making it easier to read the player names and numbers.
Newcastle United will be wearing a special charity sponsor for the Spurs game. But not only that. The club has also unveiled a special "haptic" version of its home shirt.
Unsilence the Crowd: Newcastle United to Wear Special RNID Sponsor & Presents "Unsilence the Crowd" Kit System
The Newcastle United kit initiative is part of the "Unsilence the Crow" campaign, which sees shirt sponsor Sela donate the space on the front of the shirts, as well as the pitch-side branding, to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID).
The players will wear shirts with the RNID logo, deaf fans will wear unique football shirts that turn the sounds in the stadium into a haptic experience. The initiative aims to enable deaf and hard-of-hearing fans to feel part of the stadium atmosphere.
The "Unsilence the Crowd" system captures stadium sounds, converts them to digital data, and wirelessly transmits them to specially equipped shirts. An electronic brain in each shirt activates modules, causing vibrations synchronized with the crowd cheering, offering wearers a tactile sensory experience, immersing them in live match atmospheres.
Newcastle United's partner, Sela, hopes that the whole soccer family will embrace the technology to make live soccer matches an incredible experience for everyone who loves the game.

Ederson Continues Cutting Sleeves at Fenerbahçe
Heading into his second season in the Süper Lig, the 33-year-old goalkeeper was once again spotted taking the pitch in a cut-sleeve jersey. Simply because Fenerbahçe does not offer a short-sleeve kit option from Adidas.
At his previous clubs like Rio Ave, Benfica, and Manchester City, Ederson always had short-sleeve versions to him. His time at Fenerbahçe marks one of the rare instances in his professional career where Ederson has worn long sleeves on the pitch.

Bordeaux 26-27 Away Kit Released
Following the launch of their home strip, Girondins de Bordeaux and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Amidst severe off-pitch turmoil and administrative relegation to the amateur leagues, the French club has looked to the most celebrated period in its history for design inspiration, presenting a shirt that pays tribute to the famous 1986-87 double-winning side.
The Hummel Bordeaux 26-27 away jersey is predominantly white, framed by dark navy panels across the shoulders and sleeves that house the Danish brand's signature chevrons. A classic white polo collar features discreet red trim along the edges, which is echoed on the sleeve cuffs. Completing the retro aesthetic, the left chest bears the club's circular 1980s crest rather than the modern badge, delivering an unmistakable nod to the golden era.
Presented without a main shirt sponsor, the clean retro shirt maintains a bespoke feel despite the team competing outside the professional ranks in Régional 1. Hummel continues to stand by the club under its multi-year partnership, with the kit priced at €89.95.
