Athletic Club x The Last of Us Season 2 - Pre-Match Only?
The Basque club will wear the logo of the HBO series on their pre-match and, possibly, playing shirts during their match against Rayo Vallecano at San Mamés on Sunday, April 13.
There is unclarity if Athletic Club will wear The Last of Us Season 2 on the match kits
Indeed, there is some unclarity if Athletic Club will wear The Last of Us Season 2 on the match kits. The pictures show the pre-match jerseys with the added logos. Meanwhile, the text on the website reads that the logo will be worn "on the playing kit." However, Athletic is actually sponsored by Kutxabank, whose logo usually appears on every match kit.
As part of the agreement, San Mamés stadium (nicknamed "La Catedral") will be illuminated for the premiere of The Last of Us from April 9 to 15. The second season of the acclaimed series debuts on April 14.
Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte made a connection between the team's philosophy and the series: "The title of the series perfectly reflects the uniqueness of Athletic's philosophy. We are the last team in the five major European leagues to compete with players from the land we represent. The last of the romantic teams that, as in the series, also struggles to defend its identity in an unfavourable environment."

Adidas CEO Wears Custom Hlaf-and-Half Mexico / South Africa Kit at 2026 World Cup Opening Match
Adidas CEO Björn Gulden caught the attention of football shirt fans at the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup between Mexico and South Africa. For the occasion, Gulden wore a unique, custom-made half-and-half Adidas jersey combining the home kits of both competing nations.
The bespoke shirt features a direct split down the middle, merging the green base and red details of the Mexico 2026 home kit with the yellow and green design of the South Africa 2026 home kit. As both Mexico and South Africa are sponsored by Adidas, the mash-up served as a diplomatic and promotional choice for the brand's chief executive at the tournament's inaugural game.
This split Mexico and South Africa jersey is a one-off custom creation specifically made for the Adidas CEO and will not be available for retail sale. It highlights the brand's prominent presence at the 2026 World Cup right from the opening whistle.
South Korea 2026 World Cup Home Kit Features National Flag on Sleeve
The South Korea 2026 World Cup home kit, made by Nike, has been revealed with a notable detail on the left sleeve. The new jersey prominently displays the South Korean national flag, adding a classic touch to the overall design. This element complements the nation's iconic red base, continuing the visual identity established by Nike for the upcoming tournament.

Social media discussions highlighted several past uniforms that also displayed the flag, confirming that this design choice honors a long-standing tradition for the national team.
Puma Czech Republic 2026 Kit Heavily Torn During Match
During a recent 2026 World Cup match, Czech Republic player Pavel Šulc experienced a significant kit malfunction when his Puma jersey was heavily torn. Images from the game show the shirt ripped in several places and hanging in tatters, drawing immediate attention from fans and spectators.
The incident has sparked criticism regarding the durability and quality of Puma's current national team kits. Fans on social media were quick to point out the extreme thinness of the material, with many comparing the fabric to paper. The scene also brought back memories of previous instances where Puma kits were easily damaged during major international tournaments, most notably with the Switzerland team at Euro 2016.
While modern football shirts are designed to be highly lightweight and breathable to aid player performance, this level of tearing raises questions about the balance between advanced materials and basic structural integrity. Puma has yet to officially comment on the exact cause of the material failure.
