- Adidas Signs Rodrygo: Real Madrid winger Rodrygo officially signed with Adidas after wearing their F50 boots in training.

Update - Monday, 15 December 2025: Adidas officially announced the signing of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.
The Brazilian wears the Adidas F50 football boots in a modified version with a collar seen on the Adidas X Speedlfow football boots from three years ago.
5 August 2025: In Real Madrid's latest training session, Rodrygo was spotted wearing the newest Adidas F50 boots. This strongly suggests that he may be leaving Nike after 10 years to join Adidas.
Update: In yesterday's match against Valencia, Rodrygo was spotted wearing whiteout Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 boots. This is further evidence that he and Nike are on the verge of parting ways.
Rodrygo to Join Adidas
By wearing Adidas F50 boots, complete with the tag ID on them, it strongly suggests that Rodrygo may be on his way to joining the Three Stripes.
Although he hasn't officially confirmed a move to any brand, Rodrygo has been seen wearing both Puma and Adidas boots recently, indicating that he's likely set to part ways with Nike after more than a decade - a relationship that began when he was just a kid.
Wearing blackout boots, black painted boots are often a sign that a player is about to leave his boot supplier. Rodrygo wore the Vapor 16 'Shadow' boots released from summer 2024.
Previously an ambassador for the Phantom silo, Rodrygo switched to wearing the Mercurial Vapor in early 2024.

Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.

Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
