Official 2006 World Cup Patch to Be Re-Released
- Release Announcement: Subside Sports is releasing official remakes of the 2006 FIFA World Cup badges, a first in football history for retail sale of authentic tournament patches.
- Badge Details: The remakes are one-to-one replicas made by SportingID, the original manufacturer, allowing fans and collectors to accurately add official World Cup branding to retro kits.
- Future Availability: It is currently unknown if the re-release will be exclusive to the 2006 World Cup or if other tournaments will also have their badges remade.
Retailer Subside Sports has announced the arrival of official 2006 FIFA World Cup badge remakes, marking the first time in football history that authentic World Cup tournament patches are being reproduced for retail sale.
2006 World Cup Remake Badges
The 2006 World Cup remake badges are one-to-one remakes of the official badges. They are made by SportingID, one of the few global suppliers of official badges, who also made the badges in 2006. The patches represent a significant breakthrough in football memorabilia, allowing collectors and fans to add official World Cup branding to their retro kits with historically accurate badges that were previously unavailable after tournaments ended.
It remains unclear whether this release is limited exclusively to the 2006 Germany World Cup in Germany or if other iconic tournaments from football history will also be remade.
This development follows the 2025 re-release of the Premier League's 2007-2017 font and numbering system, which allowed fans to properly customize their classic shirts with period-accurate printing.
The 2006 World Cup remakes patches are not yet available for purchase, but should arrive at Subside Sports very shortly.
1. FC Köln 26-27 Away Kit Revealed
Köln officially launched its new 26-27 away kit by Adidas last evening, completing the club's jersey lineup for the upcoming season. Following the earlier releases of the white home kit and navy third shirt, the new away strip celebrates the city's iconic "Rut un Wiess" (red and white) colors with a vintage-inspired red base and subtle white pinstripes. The jersey is officially available starting later today, July 28, through the club's official online shop and fan stores. Thanks to our partner Insider Müngersdorf for the product images.
FC Gütersloh 26-27 Home Kit Released
German Regionalliga West side FC Gütersloh and new technical supplier Patrick have officially launched the club's 26-27 home kit. Marking the first home release under the new partnership, the jersey was created in collaboration with design agency Starmerch as a fully custom design without using teamwear templates.
The FC Gütersloh 26-27 home shirt features a deep blue base with alternating tonal stripes, separated by vivid green vertical pinstripes. Incorporating a local connection, the darker blue bands contain a subtle watermark pattern based on the spinning wheel from the Gütersloh city coat of arms. A white V-neck collar and bright green shoulder panels provide contrast, with supplier, sponsor, and back printing appearing in crisp white.
The new home kit debuted on pitch during Gütersloh's Westfalenpokal victory over SC Wiedenbrück. It is currently available for purchase in the official club fanshop priced at €69.50.
Union Berlin 26-27 Away Kit Leaked - First With Trefoil
The upcoming 1. FC Union Berlin 26-27 away kit has been leaked online via @Bundesleaker. Designed by Adidas, the new away shirt prominently features the iconic Trefoil logo as part of the brand's vintage-inspired approach for away kits in the 26-27 season.
The Adidas Union Berlin 26-27 away shirt comes in a dark charcoal anthracite shade detailed with subtle vertical pinstripes. A monochrome white Union Berlin crest and white Adidas Trefoil sit on the chest alongside white Raisin sponsor branding, while bright red accents line the collar, sleeve cuffs, and the three shoulder stripes.
Meanwhile, the leaked 26-27 goalkeeper shirt showcases a bright light blue base paired with dark blue ribbed elements and collar. It is a streamlined look.
Odd Manufacturing Flaw: Legia Warsaw 26-27 Away Kits Feature Different Trefoil Placements
Legia Warsaw and Adidas officially unveiled the club's new 26-27 away kit, bringing back the iconic Adidas Originals Trefoil logo for the first time in over thirty years. The retro-inspired shirt features a green base decorated with thin white vertical pinstripes and a classic polo collar. However, as the kit hit the shelves in the official club shop, fans quickly noticed an unexpected production quirk.
In-store videos and photos shared by fans show that the positioning of the Adidas Trefoil logo is inconsistent across different jerseys. Due to variations in how the heat-applied logo or pattern was aligned during manufacturing, the Trefoil sits in a noticeably different spot relative to the vertical pinstripes on almost every shirt. On some jerseys, the logo sits directly centered on a pinstripe, while on others it is offset into the green space or sits higher up near the collar seam.
While slight manufacturing tolerances are common in sportswear, seeing such obvious alignment differences across retail stock is an unusual sight for a major Adidas launch. Fans picking up the new 26-27 Legia kit in person may want to inspect multiple hangers in the store to find the exact placement they like best.
Wrexham Tease 26-27 Home Kit Ahead of Official Release
Wrexham AFC have officially teased their new 26-27 home kit, confirming that the uniform will be revealed on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. The Welsh club released promotional graphics under the tagline "Our Ground, Our Spirit," announcing launch events held simultaneously at Eagles Meadow in Wrexham and Pelé Soccer in New York City at 2:30 PM BST (9:30 AM ET).
The 26-27 home kit, produced by long-term technical partner Macron, marks a new era as web browser Firefox debuts as Wrexham's primary shirt sponsor, replacing United Airlines. Recent leaks and photos showing co-owner Ryan Reynolds presenting the new jersey to WWE star CM Punk have already given fans a detailed look at the design. The shirt features a solid red base with a subtle interlocking 3D embossed pattern, styled with a white V-neck collar and white diagonal accents across the shoulders.
Debreceni VSC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hungarian club Debreceni VSC has officially launched its new third kit for the 26-27 season.
The Adidas Debreceni VSC 26-27 third jersey features a black base combined with rich gold accents throughout. The signature Adidas three stripes on the shoulders, the brand emblem, collar trim, and all front sponsor logos are finished in metallic gold. A key highlight of the kit is the special triangular gold crest on the left chest, which features the club name, founding year 1902, and winged wheel motif.
On the back below the collar, a small Hungarian national flag is placed directly above a winged wheel graphic to add a subtle local detail. Black shorts and black socks, both decorated with gold trimming, complete the new Adidas Debreceni 26-27 third strip.
