Atletico Madrid 26-27 Spider Pre-Match Jerseys

Atlético Madrid 26-27 Away Kit vs Pre-Match
Atletico Madrid 26-27 Away Kit Released
The modern Nike logo and Atlético's crest are both colored to match the vibrant accents, completing the sharp visual look. The dynamic graphic almost gives the appearance of movement, aligning with the agility and energy both Spiderman and Atlético Madrid are known for.
These new tops are not match kits but are designed for warm-ups. They do not include the official Spider-Man logo or branding. This is because Marvel (or its associated film studios like Columbia Pictures) is no longer a sponsor of Atlético Madrid, unlike the period in the early 2000s.
The inspiration for the new Atlético 26-27 pre-match jerseys undoubtedly comes from the memorable 2004-2005 season when Atlético Madrid kits famously promoted the release of the "Spider-Man 2" movie. At that time, Columbia Pictures, the film's production company, was Atlético's main shirt sponsor.
This unique partnership resulted in two unforgettable Nike kits - The home jersey featured Atlético's traditional red and white stripes with a Spider-Man logo and the "Spider-Man 2" movie title underneath. Meanwhile, the away jersey was arguably even more striking: a navy blue base adorned with a large white spiderweb graphic, a central Spider-Man logo, and the movie title.
These kits, worn by players like Fernando Torres, became instant cult classics among collectors due to their rarity and boldness. The promotion even saw stars of the film, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, posing with the jerseys.
That season was notable for Atlético Madrid, as Columbia Pictures used the club's shirts as dynamic billboards, frequently changing the film being advertised. Logos for movies like "xXx2," "Hitch," "S.W.A.T.," and "Hellboy" all made appearances on the Rojiblancos' kits, making them highly sought-after collector's items that captured a unique Y2K aesthetic.
The Nike Atlético Madrid spider-inspired pre-match jerseys are set to release in June/July 2026.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
