- Sabine Marcelis Design: Marcelis created minimalist resin plinths, with a hollow interior, in colors representing the host cities.
In a first for football, Adidas has broken new ground by inviting two of Europe's leading design studios, Gonzalez Haase AAS and Sabine Marcelis, to design the Official Match Ball plinths for Euro 2024.
Official Euro 2024 Match Ball Plinths
The Euro 2024 ball stand for the opening match in Munich on 14 June was designed by Gonzalez Haase AAS and consists of 24 multi-colored aluminium panels, each representing a participating team. The design is in line with the Euro 2024 logo.
The harmonization of the aluminum sheets and incorporation of the ball’s colors celebrate the joy of FUSSBALLLIEBE and the unity of the teams it brings together.
In addition, Gonzalez Haase AAS will also be designing special edition ball stands for the semi-finals in Munich on 9 July, Dortmund on 10 July and the final in Berlin on 14 July.
Gonzalez Haase AAS said: “We approach design like a sculptor would. It was important that the object had something that played with space, and connected to the space around it. By working with the blades, we brought light into the object. Through the reflection of the light on each color, it becomes alive. It will look always different. Even if the color doesn't change, the light changes it. Each blade reflects the color next to it. So every color is found in the other.”
Sabine Marcelis' Euro 2024 ball stand eschews aluminum panels for her signature resin. It features a minimalist approach with a hollow interior for lightness and transparency. Four versions of the stand in red, green, blue or yellow celebrate the identity of all host cities.
Sabine Marcelis said: “I wanted to tackle the challenge to elevate this classic plinth. What most intrigued me about adidas’s brief was the opportunity to encapsulate the essence of FUSSBALLLIEBE into a tangible design. The challenge was to create something that wasn’t just functional but also carried a deep emotional resonance. It was about more than just a holder; it was about creating an icon that represents the passion, unity, and excitement that football brings to millions of people.”

Novara 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian Serie C side Novara FC and technical partner Erreà have officially released the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Following the release of their traditional azzurro home strip earlier in the summer, the new third shirt delivers a stealthy, understated alternative aesthetic for the current campaign.
The Erreà Novara 26-27 third jersey is built on a solid black base and adopts a full monochrome palette. Instead of the standard club crest, the chest features Novara's historic crossed shield rendered in clean white embroidery. Erreà's logos on the right chest and shoulders, alongside long-time front-of-shirt sponsor Igor Gorgonzola and secondary partners Cristanini Viaggi and Intesa Pour Homme, are similarly applied in monochrome white.
Completing the strip, matching black shorts and black socks with white accents and crest detailing round off the uniform for the 26-27 Serie C campaign.

Presented under the slogan "Segunda Piel" (Second Skin), the Hummel RB Linense 26-27 away jersey combines a deep navy base with rich gold detailing. Across the front, the shirt features tonal diagonal sashes that create a dynamic textured look. Gold accents appear on the V-neck collar, the sleeve cuffs, and Hummel's trademark shoulder chevrons, which are matched by a monochrome metallic gold club crest and Lotus chest sponsor.
The new away uniform is completed by matching navy and gold shorts and socks. The RB Linense 26-27 away shirt is already available for purchase through the club's official offices.

The Bang Sports Amal Tiznit 2026-27 home jersey is centered around the club's traditional sky blue colorway, decorated with intricate Moroccan geometric patterns across the entire front. Gold accents line the V-neck collar, while white side panels and sleeve trim bring contrast to the shirt. On the reverse, the kit adopts tonal vertical pinstripes alongside clean white player names and squad numbering.
Several sponsor marks are placed across the chest, sleeves, and lower back, complemented by Bang Sports branding and an authentic licensed patch near the hem. The new strip will be worn throughout US Amal Tiznit's debut season in the Moroccan top flight.
