PSG Releases Bizarre AI Images to Celebrate New Home Kit, Including One With Adidas Stripes
- PSG AI Kit Launch: PSG released AI-generated images to promote their new home kit, a first for the club.
- Adidas Error: One of the AI images mistakenly featured Adidas stripes, leading to its deletion.
- Image Quality Issues: The AI-generated images contained several errors including fake tattoos, misprinted text, and a poorly rendered ball.
Celebrating the launch of the new 24-25 home kit, Paris Saint-Germain created a set of images "created with AI", and the result is less than impressive.
One of the pictures even features Adidas' iconic three stripes on the socks, which prompted the club to delete it shortly after, but thankfully it was saved by @esvaphane.
AI is increasingly being used to cut cost and replace actual artists, but it's still surprising to see PSG acknowledge it this openly. Sharing the collection of pictures on Instagram, the club wrote, "Discover our new Home jersey for the 24/25 season launched with photos of our Parisian players taken using artificial intelligence, a first in the history of the club."
We have compiled some of the 'highlights' below.
AI Marquinhos vs Real Marquinhos
Lucas Hernández's imaginary tattoos
Nike's iconic three stripes
The socks on the picture with Hernández are maybe even funnier. Not only do they feature Adidas-esque three stripes at the top, but they also come with nonsense text below the Swoosh, reading something like "PLCS" on the left and "CR" on the right.
To round it off, the football looks completely messed up as well.
All in all, this is a complete fail by PSG and one can only hope that there is enough of a backlash for other clubs to avoid this in the future.
What are your thoughts? Are you surprised to see these images slip through the club's quality control, especially the one with the Adidas stripes? Comment below.
RFEF Official Store AI Chatbot Recommends Fake Spain Jerseys
The official store of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has experienced an embarrassing glitch, as its AI-powered chatbot is reportedly advising fans to purchase counterfeit Spain national team jerseys instead of the official merchandise.
A viral post by X user @Free_y_thinker highlighted the issue, sharing a screenshot of the chatbot recommending a fake jersey as a better and cheaper alternative to the official kits. The post quickly gained massive traction with nearly a million views, prompting other users to share their own bizarre interactions with the shop.rfef.es AI, which included further recommendations for fakes, specific unauthorized sellers, and even seemingly random Python code. This incident highlights the potential pitfalls of implementing AI customer service without strict guardrails.

FC Twente 2026-27 Home Kit Released
FC Twente and Castore have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The launch follows a successful campaign that saw the team finish fourth in the Eredivisie and secure European football, with the club using the motto "We continue the line" for the new release.
The Castore FC Twente 2026-27 home shirt introduces a clean and traditional look in the club's classic red. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary 2009-10 championship-winning season, the standout design feature is a subtle, thin vertical line pattern that runs across the entire shirt. Adding a local touch, the word 'Tukkers' is proudly incorporated into the collar, while various club-specific elements are embedded within the back numbers.
