- Mercedes F1 Apparel: The 2025 Mercedes F1 apparel features an oversized Adidas three-stripe design on the fireproof jacket.
- Adidas World Cup Design: Adidas will use a larger three-stripe design for the 2026 World Cup.
- Stripe Size Difference: The F1 three-stripe design is larger than what will be used for the 2026 World Cup due to FIFA regulations.
The Mercedes team has just introduced its 2025 F1 apparel and it caught our attention with its large three stripes on the fireproof jacket.
Giant Three Stripes on the Adidas Mercedes F1 2025 Jacket
The Adidas Mercedes F1 jacket has giant Three Stripes on the shoulders instead of the regular design. Meanwhile, the Mercedes T-shirt 2025 still has the regular 3 stripes design.
As we leaked earlier, Adidas will be introducing a larger three-stripe design for the 2026 World Cup. It looks like Adidas have already experimented with this new three-stripe design on an F1 kit, but they're even bigger than what's available for football.
For the 2026 World Cup, Adidas needs to comply with the FIFA 2025 Equipment Regulations. Therefore, the total width of the Adidas 2026 World Cup three stripes will be smaller than in the Formula 1.

Kylian Mbappé Debuts All-New On Football Boots in EA FC 27
Kylian Mbappé has sent shockwaves through the boot world following his official departure from Nike to join Swiss brand On. Marking the historic switch, the Real Madrid superstar has already been revealed wearing his all-new On football boots in promotional footage and gameplay for EA Sports FC 27. Big thanks to @sdmlinks.
Serving as the cover star for the game, Mbappé gives fans an early preview of On's ambitious entry into football footwear. The in-game renders show off a clean, predominantly white prototype cleat featuring the Swiss brand's signature logo boldly displayed across the upper. The boots are built around On's proprietary LightSpray technology, a seamless and ultra-lightweight manufacturing process developed in tandem with Mbappé and the brand's newly appointed Director of Football, Thierry Henry.
While the commercial retail release of On's debut football boot collection is slated for 2027, the boots will be featured directly in EA Sports FC 27 around launch. On the pitch, the French forward is expected to give the boots their live competitive debut for Real Madrid in the coming weeks of the 26-27 campaign.

FC Famalicão 26-27 Third Kit Released
Portuguese Primeira Liga club FC Famalicão have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Branded under the club's "100% Famalicão" initiative and carrying the concept "Famalicão, o Centro do Norte" (Famalicão, the Center of the North), the shirt celebrates the city's geographical importance and rich industrial heritage. For the second consecutive season, the special alternative jersey has been produced exclusively in partnership with local textile manufacturers from the Famalicão region.
The Puma FC Famalicão 26-27 third shirt combines a clean light mint-green base with refined metallic gold accents. Inspired by the 1940s Manoel de Oliveira documentary film dedicated to the municipality, the jersey features intricate map-like line patterns that converge on a central compass emblem, representing Famalicão's role as a historic crossroads and hub in northern Portugal. A centered club badge adorned with a golden wreath, a gold bwin front sponsor, and coordinating gold trim along the round collar and sleeve cuffs complete the design.
Matching mint-green shorts and socks with gold details round off the full strip. The new FC Famalicão 26-27 third kit is now available through the club's official stadium store and online shop.
