Jablonec 26-27 Home Kit Released
Czech First League club FK Jablonec and new technical partner Macron have officially launched the team's new home kit for the 26-27 season. Replacing previous supplier Capelli, Macron has created a custom design that reflects a new visual direction for the club.
The Macron FK Jablonec 26-27 home shirt features a deep bottle green base accented by a white crew-neck collar and white sleeve cuffs with green piping. Across the front panel is a subtle, custom tonal graphic pattern that incorporates elements of Jablonec's updated brand identity. White Macron logos adorn the right chest, paired with white sponsor detailing and the club's modern crest on the left chest.
Alongside the home shirt, Jablonec also unveiled their new goalkeeper jersey, which stands out with a black base covered in vibrant diagonal slashes in red, orange, and yellow. The full range will be available via the official club store.
FC Barcelona 26-27 Away Kit Font Features Oversized Letter Typo
FC Barcelona's new 26-27 away kit, created as part of an exclusive Nike x Barça x Kobe Bryant collaboration, features a bespoke custom typeface dubbed the Gold Mamba font. However, detailed photos from the club's official store have revealed an unannounced design flaw in the nameset. On goalkeeper Joan García's jersey, the initial letter J appears dramatically oversized compared to the rest of the letters.
The error was first highlighted on social media by kit insider @memorabilia1899 and @@jerseystory_vn. In close-up images of Joan García's shirt, the capital J drops well below the baseline of the letters O, A, and N, creating an awkward disparity in sizing. The rest of the custom typeface otherwise features sophisticated serif details and metallic gold or monochrome outline finishes designed specifically for the Kobe Bryant-inspired collection.
Despite the noticeable typo, reports indicate that FC Barcelona will not immediately recall or replace the flawed shirts. Instead, the club plans to sell through the existing physical stock printed with the initial flawed batch before releasing an updated, corrected version of the nameset to retailers and fans.
The Gold Mamba custom font remains one of the defining visual features of Barcelona's 26-27 away kit collection, which blends a purple-to-black gradient palette with iridescent serpent-inspired detailing. Once the current stock of namesets is exhausted, Barcelona and Nike are expected to roll out the revised font with properly proportioned lettering for future shirt printing.
Deportivo Amatitlán 26-27 Home Kit Released
Guatemalan club Deportivo Amatitlán has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 season, made by sports brand Tuto. The new shirt retains the club's classic visual identity while introducing updated graphic detailing.
The Tuto Deportivo Amatitlán 26-27 home jersey features a traditional white base highlighted by a prominent red sash running diagonally across the front and continuing around the back. Dark collar trim and dark sleeve cuffs with red edging outline the design, while a subtle houndstooth-style textured pattern is woven into the main body fabric.
Tuto's logo is positioned centrally on the chest, with the club emblem applied on the left chest over the red sash. The back of the jersey displays player numbering over the sash alongside several local sponsor logos and the club's motto printed along the lower hem.
Retro-Inspired SV Meppen 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
German club SV Meppen and kit supplier Jako have officially unveiled the team's new home, away, and third kits for the 26-27 season. Following the release of pre-season training shirts earlier in the month, the complete match set adopts a heavy retro influence centered around vintage brand logo usage and classic crest execution.
The home and away jerseys share a distinct color-blocked shoulder template. The home shirt features a white body with royal blue panels running across the chest and shoulders, while the away kit reverses the colors to feature a blue body with white upper accents. Both kits showcase a vintage boxed JAKO SPORT logo on the right chest opposite a retro-styled SV Meppen crest on the left.
Completing the collection, the 26-27 third kit comes in black with subtle tonal vertical pinstripes. It opts for a centered arrangement, placing the white retro Jako logo directly above the classic club emblem in the center of the chest. The shirt is finished with a black-and-white ribbed V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs featuring a touch of blue detail.

Unfitting Multicolor Logo: Manchester United Unveil Microsoft Surface as New Back-of-Shirt Sponsor
Manchester United have officially introduced Microsoft Surface as their new back-of-shirt sponsor starting from the 26-27 season. The new branding replaces Microsoft Copilot, which previously featured on the back of the jerseys during the past two campaigns. The back-of-shirt placement comes as part of the club's ongoing primary shirt sponsorship deal with Snapdragon, which grants Qualcomm the right to nominate partner brands for secondary kit positioning.
The Microsoft Surface branding, featuring the company's four-color square logo alongside white typography, sits directly beneath the squad numbers.
Unfortunately, this colorful logo totally mismatches with the rest of the kit, resulting in an cheap-looking appearance.
It was debuted on-pitch during Manchester United's pre-season fixtures, including matches in their new blue 26-27 away kit. For the upcoming 26-27 campaign, the logo will appear on the men's first-team shirts during pre-season and domestic cup matches such as the FA Cup and League Cup, while remaining absent during Premier League and European fixtures.
Additionally, the Microsoft Surface logo will feature on the back of all Manchester United Women's team shirts for domestic matches across the 26-27 campaign, as well as on select academy team kits. As part of the expanded collaboration between Snapdragon, Microsoft, and Manchester United, the brands are also launching limited-edition co-branded Surface hardware for fans.
CONMEBOL Introduces Custom Champions Badges for Copa Libertadores Knockout Stage

This line aligns Boca Juniors with top European Adidas clubs receiving similar OG lifestyle drops.
In addition, the retro expansion brings back legendary nineties designs.
