Estoril Praia 24-25 'Ayrton Senna' Fourth Kit Revealed

French club FC Metz and kit supplier Kappa have officially unveiled a limited-edition collector's shirt to celebrate the testimonial match of club icon Robert Pirès, set to take place on October 6, 2026, at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.

The special jersey pays homage to Metz's memorable 1996 kit, the season Les Grenats lifted the Coupe de la Ligue with Pirès playing a central role. Reinterpreting the distinct graphic side motif of that era, the shirt features a rich garnet base paired with an intricate geometric graphic panel running down the side, an elegant white polo collar, and a centrally placed Kappa Omini logo alongside the club's traditional Lorraine cross crest. The back showcases Pirès' famous name and number 7 in a retro font, completed by a commemorative jocktag patch at the hem.

The limited-edition jersey is available for pre-order in strictly limited numbers via Metz's online store. It will be donned on pitch during the testimonial event, which brings together legends from Metz, Arsenal, and the France national team to celebrate the career of the 1998 World Cup winner where his professional journey first began.

In their recent 3-0 victory over Arsenal, Brighton debuted a special 125th-anniversary kit, making them the first team since Manchester United in 2008 (who marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster) to wear a commemorative jersey in the Premier League.

Clause 13, Section M of the Premier League regulations strictly limits clubs to three registered kits per season, making special exemptions exceptionally rare.

Other kit exemptions over the years have been few and far between: Man City wore a one-off gold sponsor detail on the final day to celebrate their title triumph in the last match of the 20-21 season, while Newcastle had to turn a pre-match tee into an official match kit to fix an emergency kit clash against Brighton in 22-23.

The new TSV 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest kit has been officially released by Joma through the club's merchandising company. However, mirroring the previously revealed 26-27 home shirt, this special Wiesn design will never be worn in an official match. Following the insolvency of the club's professional division and forced relegation to the Regionalliga Bayern, 1860 München severed ties with Joma and partnered with local Munich supplier Societas for their on-pitch kits.

The Joma 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey presents a classic Bavarian aesthetic based on a clean white shirt. Running vertically down the left side beneath the crest is a light blue and white Bavarian rhombus pattern, framed on both sides by delicate floral vine graphics reminiscent of traditional Trachten embroidery. A dark navy V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look, while the inside neck is detailed with Munich's famous "O'zapft is" festival motto. The front displays the traditional embroidered black lion badge with a championship star, accompanied by dark branding from Joma and primary sponsor die Bayerische.

Corinthians, Palmeiras, São Paulo and Santos have joined forces with the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) and other Brazilian football bodies to push back against possible restrictions on betting, warning that major changes could have a serious financial impact on the sport.

The reaction comes as the Brazilian government prepares a possible executive order to ban online casino operations, while further restrictions on sports betting are still being discussed. Clubs are concerned that tighter rules could put existing sponsorship deals and an important source of football revenue at risk.

And the numbers show why. 13 of the 20 Série A clubs currently have a betting company as their main shirt sponsor, with the combined value of these deals estimated at more than R$1 billion per season. Flamengo (Betano), Fluminense (Superbet), Botafogo (Vbet), Palmeiras (Sportingbet), Corinthians (Esportes da Sorte), São Paulo (Superbet)...

The debate comes as major European leagues have moved in the opposite direction. Italy introduced a broad ban on gambling advertising and sponsorship in 2018, while Spain introduced strict restrictions covering betting advertising and shirt sponsorships from the 2021-22 season. In England, Premier League clubs agreed to remove gambling sponsors from the front of matchday shirts from the 2026-27 season, although other forms of gambling partnerships remain possible.

What do you think of Brazilian clubs pushing back against possible betting restrictions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Nick Woltemade's arrival at Juventus has sparked an unexpected kit trend in Turin. After the German forward made headlines by debuting a long-sleeved home shirt against AC Milan—becoming the first Bianconeri outfield player in over 12 years to wear an official long-sleeve match kit—his teammates are now following in his footsteps.

The trend reached new heights in Juventus's recent European clash against NEC, where six players took the pitch in long sleeves. Alongside Woltemade, starters Weston McKennie, Douglas Luiz, and Pape Matar Sarr all lined up with full-length sleeves, while substitutes Randal Kolo Muani and Teun Koopmeiners also sported the look off the bench. Interestingly, Douglas Luiz demonstrated that switching to the classic silhouette takes some getting used to, as the Brazilian midfielder changed back into a short-sleeved jersey for the second half.

The sudden revival of long sleeves on the pitch is made possible by Adidas reintroducing authentic long-sleeved player shirts for the 26-27 season. For more than a decade, outfield players at Juventus and across Europe were generally restricted to short-sleeve kits paired with compression baselayers.

With Woltemade leading the charge and half of the Juventus outfield lineup already embracing the design, the retro aesthetic looks poised to spread even further across Serie A this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion are debuting a special limited-edition Nike 125th anniversary kit today in their Premier League encounter against Arsenal at the Amex Stadium. The match was selected to mark 125 years since the club's formation, being the closest home fixture to the anniversary of Albion's first-ever competitive match on September 21, 1901.

Crafted by Nike, the commemorative 26-27 shirt takes direct inspiration from the club's earliest kits from the 1901-02 season. Built around a clean mountain-blue base, the design leans heavily into an understated retro aesthetic. It features a classic polo collar, tonal blue branding for both the Nike Swoosh and the American Express front sponsor, and a matching tonal crest underlined with a '125 YEARS' ribbon. An internal collar graphic completes the look with the words 'We are Brighton 1901-2026'.

Initially launched in May 2026 alongside a limited run of 1,901 collector box sets, this unique kit is being worn as a strictly one-off tribute on the pitch.

Footy Headlines can now leak 9 new pictures of the PSG 26-27 third kit. Although it is a fake, the design is identical to the real one.

The PSG 2026-2027 third kit has a striking look, predominantly black with red and multicolor elements, including red/yellow logos and red panels, and is made by Jordan.

The standout feature of the kit is a unique take on the team's classic Hechter design, which includes a multicolor center stripe merging blue, green, and red.
