Adidas to End Every Kit Deal in Spain Except for Real Madrid?

We can leak two images of the long-sleeve remake edition of the upcoming Adidas River Plate 1996 remake home kit, offering another look at the faithful recreation of the iconic design worn during River's 1996 Copa Libertadores triumph. The jersey features the club's traditional white base complemented by the famous red diagonal sash and an all-over tonal pattern of club shields and motifs. Authentic 1990s detailing completes the retro aesthetic, including a striped polo collar, a centered Adidas wordmark, the vintage CARP crest on the chest, a stitched sleeve badge, and classic three-stripe bands wrapped around both sleeves.

Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense have officially announced Pitaco as their new principal front-of-shirt sponsor. The three-year agreement sees the Brazilian sports platform take over the prime central chest position on the club's New Balance jerseys. This long-awaited deal ends a vacancy of roughly ten months for the Tricolor Gaúcho's main shirt sponsor slot following the early termination of their previous deal with Alfa Bet in late 2025.

Originally established as a fantasy sports company before expanding into regulated sports betting under the international Draftea group, Pitaco will feature across Grêmio's kits through 2029. The partnership is reportedly valued between 40 million and 46 million Brazilian Real per year (around 8 million USD/year) , totaling around 140 million Real across the entire three-year period, placing Grêmio's uniform among the five most valuable commercial shirts in Brazilian football.

The white Pitaco logo and wordmark sit directly across the middle of the iconic blue, black, and white striped kit, joining existing partners such as Banrisul, Coral, and Havan. Grêmio are scheduled to debut the newly branded shirts immediately in upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro matches.

Japanese J1 League club Urawa Red Diamonds and Nike have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Following the release of the primary strips earlier in the summer, the new uniform introduces a striking blackout look for the autumn-spring campaign.

The Nike Urawa Red Diamonds 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black and features an embossed tonal lightning pattern running vertically down the body. Inspired by the thunderous cheers and energy of the club's supporters, the geometric graphic creates a subtle light-catching effect. For the first time since 2018, the Nike Swoosh appears in gold, joined by contrasting red ventilation stripes along the sides and clean white sponsor prints across the chest and back.

Completing the strip are matching black shorts and socks detailed with gold branding. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester as part of Nike's Move to Zero sustainability initiative, the Urawa Red Diamonds 26-27 third kit goes on sale on September 25, 2026, via the club's official online store.

Indonesian side Persib Bandung and Spanish manufacturer Kelme have officially released their new dedicated kit set for the 26-27 ASEAN Club Championship Shopee Cup. Following custom wardrobe lineups launched for both the domestic campaign and the AFC Champions League Two, Persib maintains a distinct look for each competition they contest this season.

The Persib 26-27 Shopee Cup home jersey is dressed in the club's customary royal blue, elevated by a tonal graphic pattern themed "Resonansi Kesetiaan" (Resonance of Loyalty), representing sound waves and echoing the roaring passion of the supporters. The away shirt opts for an eye-catching blue and white checkerboard pattern layered over subtle graphic textures. Both jerseys feature clean white accents on the collar and cuffs, accompanied by the Kelme logo and front sponsor NexAI.

Two goalkeeper jerseys—one in textured black and another in light ice blue—complete the collection. The Persib Bandung 26-27 Shopee Cup kits are released in both authentic Player Issue and Supporter Edition versions.

Footy Headlines can leak 4 new images of the special Adidas Argentina Messi 'Farewell' shirt, which will be released soon.

The kit features a unique central white stripe flanked by sky blue sides, a sunburst graphic, Messi’s 'M' logo in metallic gold, and a special gold Sun of May graphic housing his number 10 on the upper back.

Following the announcement that Kylian Mbappé has parted ways with Nike to join Swiss running brand On as a global ambassador and equity partner, behind-the-scenes images have been shared by On. The Swiss brand is directly adapting its revolutionary LightSpray technology to football footwear, working closely with Mbappé and On Director of Football Thierry Henry to craft an ultra-lightweight speed boot.

The development images provide a close look at the technology and early components taking shape inside On's innovation lab. A testing board displays various stages of seamless, robotically sprayed uppers created without traditional stitching or adhesives to minimize weight and eliminate distraction. Alongside custom foot lasts molded to Mbappé's exact specifications, the images reveal an eye-catching iridescent chrome soleplate equipped with aggressive chevron and angled studs designed specifically for explosive linear acceleration.

Mbappé has already been spotted testing whiteout prototypes during Real Madrid training sessions throughout the early stages of the 26-27 campaign. While he is set to showcase the boots on pitch and in virtual form this season, the first commercial release of On's LightSpray football boots is not scheduled to hit retail shelves until 2027.

The special Adidas Argentina Messi 2026 “Farewell” jersey is now available at select retailers worldwide. Big thanks to @kitsoc6.
