- Incident: The UEFA Foundation badge fell off multiple Italy player's shirts during their Euro 2024 match against Albania.
- Affected Players: Several players, including Riccardo Calafiori, Davide Frattesi, and Donnarumma experienced the issue.
- Cause: The badge, which is heat-applied, may have fallen off due to insufficient heat-sealing by Italy's kitman.
During yesterday's Euro 2024 match between Italy and Albania, Adidas experienced a rare incident when the UEFA Foundation badge came off the shirts of many Italian players and almost fell off.
UEFA Foundation Badge Falls Off in Italy Home Kit
The UEFA Foundation badge fell off the Italy shirts of several players, including Riccardo Calafiori, Davide Frattesi and Donnarumma. As this was Italy's first match at Euro 2024, the incident attracted a lot of attention from fans.
The UEFA Foundation badge is heat-applied to the sleeve of Italy's shirt, as it is for all the other teams at Euro 2024. So the fall could be due to the heat-sealing not being applied for long enough, which is probably a sloppy mistake on Italy's kitman part.

Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.

The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
