Italy 2026 Away Kit: Classic Crest Would Have Fit Better
- Kit Design: The Italy 2026 away kit, produced by Adidas, showcases an off-white base, subtle pattern, and navy-gold trim, creating a retro aesthetic.
- Crest Controversy: The current modern FIGC badge is considered inconsistent with the kit's overall design, with many feeling the classic crest would have been a better fit.
- Alternative Suggestions: Incorporating the classic crest or stars would have enhanced the vintage aesthetic and complemented the refined color palette of the kit.
The new 2026 away kit of the Italy national football team, made by Adidas, features an elegant off-white base with a subtle all-over pattern and navy-gold trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs. The use of gold detailing gives the shirt a clear retro feel, reinforced by the Adidas Trefoil logo. However, the choice of crest feels heavily inconsistent with the overall concept.

Italy uses the current modern FIGC badge, which was launched in 2023 and has been unpopular since then. Given the strong heritage approach of the Adidas Italy 2026 away jersey, the classic crest would arguably have been a better fit. Its traditional shield shape and gold elements would have matched the trim more naturally and strengthened the vintage aesthetic.
Adidas could have also incorporated stars, which would have also worked well with the refined color palette.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.

Barcelona 2026-27 Home Kit Featured on New Bucket Hat
A bucket hat displaying the FC Barcelona 2026-27 home kit has surfaced via @Opaleak. The design prominently showcases the kit's signature striped pattern using multiple shades of red and blue.
The cap section of the hat incorporates Barca text consistent with details from the 2026-27 collection. This follows earlier leaks of the Nike home jersey, which uses three distinct red shades (Deep Garnet, Noble Red, Cardinal Red) and three blue shades (Game Royal, Loyal Blue, Blue Void) per stripe.
The home kit is set to launch in the coming weeks as part of the broader Nike Barcelona range for the season, likely after the World Cp.
