MLS Considers Leaving Adidas

Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias, known globally as Vozinha, has officially been unveiled by Chilean champions Colo-Colo. The 40-year-old veteran joined the Santiago-based club as a free agent following his standout campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he was voted the tournament's best goalkeeper by fans.

During his official presentation at the Estadio Monumental, Vozinha revealed that he will wear the number 29 jersey for the 26-27 season. The kit features his iconic name printed on the back as a personal tribute to his grandparents who raised him. To mark his arrival, Colo-Colo also unveiled an exclusive apparel collection featuring custom graphic t-shirts celebrating the goalkeeper's move.

Vozinha's high-profile transfer to South America comes after a historic World Cup run with Cape Verde, highlighted by a clean sheet against eventual champions Spain. After leaving Portuguese side GD Chaves at the end of last season, the experienced shot-stopper secured his move to Colo-Colo, marking the biggest club destination of his long career.

The Reebok logo is placed centrally on the upper chest directly above a monochromatic black and grey Hibernian badge, with main sponsor bevvy.com printed underneath.

This release completes Hibernian's kit lineup for the 26-27 season, joining the green home uniform and bone-white away shirt previously unveiled by the brand.

Thai League 1 side BG Pathum United has officially revealed its new home kit for the 26-27 season, made by Nike. The new design stays true to the club's traditional aesthetic while introducing updated accenting and template features.

The BG Pathum United 26-27 home shirt features a royal blue base with dark navy collar and sleeve cuffs. White panels run down the sides of the jersey to provide a clean contrast. The Nike Swoosh is located on the right chest in white, opposite the club crest, with main sponsor LEO featured prominently across the front.

Designed for the upcoming Thai League 1 campaign, the kit is completed with blue shorts and socks matching the primary color scheme of the jersey.

The German Football Association (DFB) has introduced an updated broadcast graphics package for the DFB-Pokal Nachwuchs youth competition for the 26-27 season. However, the new visual overlay—used during live broadcasts and official streams, has immediately drawn criticism from design-conscious fans following the tournament's first-round matches. Big thanks to @truksterrr.

Critics and graphic designers pointed out several noticeable design flaws in the new scoreboard and matchup banners. The graphic features a dark green bar with a central DFB-Pokal trophy icon separating team names, scores, and crests. Specific complaints highlight poor font selection, bad kerning, uneven spacing between elements, and misaligned club logos that give the overlay an unpolished and low-budget appearance.

As live streaming of youth football continues to expand, fans expect clean, professional presentation even at junior levels. It remains to be seen whether the DFB will refine the graphics package or fix the alignment issues for subsequent rounds of the 26-27 campaign.

Following the official reveal of the Boca Juniors 26-27 home kit by Adidas, graphic designer Franco Carabajal (@FrancooC07) has published concept edits visualizing alternative takes on the new jersey. Using official launch photos featuring Leandro Paredes, the edits explore how subtle design adjustments could alter the overall aesthetic of the Xeneize home shirt.

The concepts focus primarily on the framing of the iconic yellow chest band and the shirt's collar. One variation introduces clean white borders above and below the horizontal band alongside matching white V-neck trim. Another version retains the yellow collar while adding thin white piping to outline the central stripe, recalling classic Boca Juniors jerseys that incorporated white details.

While the official Adidas 26-27 home kit utilizes a dual-tone blue effect framing the chest stripe, these concept renders highlight how small details like contrasting stripe borders can offer a different perspective on Boca's iconic kit.
