Mexico's 2026 Home Kit Design Change: Adidas and the Mexican Football Federation decided to completely change the design of the Mexico 2026 World Cup home kit, opting for a style inspired by the 1998 World Cup home jersey instead of the original center-stripe design.
Rejected Original Kit Design: The original Mexico 2026 home kit, featuring an 'MX' pattern integrated into central stripes, entered production but was ultimately scrapped, with that specific design element later carried over to the Mexico 2026 third kit.
Reasons for Design Alteration: The exact reasons for Mexico changing the home kit design are not known, but potential factors include feedback from the federation or a reaction to initial leaks of the original design.

Update - Thursday, July 9, 2026: Footy Headlines can continue to share real images of the rejected Mexico 2026 home kit in authentic version. The jersey had even entered production before it was ultimately scrapped. We can see the "MX" pattern integrated into the central stripes of the shirt - a design element that was later carried over to the Mexico 2026 third kit.

Hartlepool United 26-27 Remembrance Day Kit Released

Hartlepool United and technical sponsor Meyba have officially launched a commemorative kit for Remembrance Day 2026. Marking the fourth consecutive season the club has produced a dedicated tribute shirt, the design was unveiled through a special photoshoot aboard HMS Trincomalee and will be worn in the National League home clash against Wealdstone.

The Meyba Hartlepool United 26-27 Remembrance Day football shirt combines a white base with a subtle all-over pattern of tonal grey interlocking anchors, celebrating the town's maritime history. Meyba's signature shoulder chevrons appear in contrasting red and white, set against navy blue sleeves that display white crossed-anchors emblems and striped cuffs. Additional detailing includes a navy crew neck with white pinstripe trim, an inner collar lining patterned with the Union Flag and St George's Cross, and a gold "Lest We Forget" inscription above the SSAFA charity logo on the upper back.

The limited-edition shirt is priced at £57, with 100% of proceeds from replica sales donated directly to SSAFA's Durham branch to support local armed forces personnel and their families. While retail editions do not carry a poppy due to trademark and licensing restrictions, the match-worn player versions featuring poppies will be auctioned off after the game in aid of the Royal British Legion.

Viktoria Köln and technical sponsor Joma have officially launched their special Carnival kit for the 26-27 session. Following last year's vibrant mosaic motif, this season's release turns to Cologne's traditional "Rut un wiess" (red and white) palette to celebrate the city's beloved fifth season.

The Joma Viktoria Köln 26-27 Carnival jersey showcases a dynamic wavy-checkerboard pattern across the front and sleeves. Positioned prominently across the bottom hem is the black silhouette of the Cologne skyline, headlined by the iconic Kölner Dom. The city's coat of arms sits centrally on the chest between the black Joma logo and the Viktoria crest, while black trim on the collar and side inserts introduces the club's third core color.

The back of the shirt features a predominantly white panel detailed with the phrase "Vussball in Rheinkultur" just below the collar, complemented by black typography for the club name, player names, and numbers. Viktoria Köln are offering supporters the exact same version with a woven jacquard pattern that the players wear on the pitch. The kit is priced at €77 and makes its competitive debut in the Mittelrheinpokal against Siegburger SV.

Sampdoria's Tjaš Begić Laces Up Classic Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 'Euphoria'

Sampdoria winger Tjaš Begić caught the eye of boot enthusiasts recently after ditching current-generation footwear in favor of a modern classic: the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite from the 2019 'Euphoria Mode' pack. The pair was sourced for the 21-year-old Slovenian attacker by French boot retailer shoptcrampons.

Originally released by Nike in April 2019 as the brand's key collection for the decisive final stages of the 18-19 season, the Euphoria Mode Vapor 12 is defined by a distinctive spray-paint gradient blending vivid 'Hyper Crimson' into a crisp white base, framed by bold black Swooshes. The colorway was headlined by star athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Eden Hazard back in the day.

Begić is the latest pro to look back to late-2010s football boots rather than staying with the newest releases. The Mercurial Vapor 12 remains widely praised among players for its 360-degree Flyknit construction, responsive two-piece podular soleplate, and snug anatomical fit, standing as one of the most celebrated generations of the speed silo.

Real Madrid 2027 LFSTLR Racing Jersey Leaked

We can leak official images from a piece of Adidas' upcoming motorsport-inspired lifestyle range for Real Madrid. Following earlier leaks of the broader collection, we have the first detailed look at the Real Madrid 2027 LFSTLR racing jersey.

The long-sleeve jersey is constructed from a black, heavily perforated breathable mesh fabric complemented by mint green panels along the sleeves and a matching green insert at the front of the crew-neck collar. Flowing white piping traces the shoulders and inner sleeves to mimic the cut of a driver's suit. Motorsport branding elements define the look, featuring a retro-futuristic "RM" speed logo on the right chest, a monochrome white Real Madrid crest on the left, and an Adidas Performance logo centered on the collar.

This piece is part of the expanded Adidas LFSTLR Racing capsule slated for 2027, which also includes faux-leather biker jackets and track tops. The German brand will introduce equivalent motorsport templates across its elite European club roster, including custom variations for Juventus, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
