Al Sadd 25-26 Grey Days Special Kit Released

A new leaked image of the Juventus 2026-27 third kit has been shared by Juventus kit specialist account @La_Bianconera, giving us a clearer look at the replica version of the jersey.

Following an initial leak from May, this second real photo confirms that the unique flame motif will be clearly visible on the replica shirts. According to La_Bianconera, it will be slightly more attenuated on the authentic version.

The design features a black base complemented by gold and gray accents, incorporating a flame pattern inspired by a youth theme.

Scottish Premiership club Hibernian FC have officially announced a multi-year, record-breaking partnership with Reebok, who will become the club's Official Technical Partner starting from the 2026-27 season. The new agreement sees Reebok replace Joma as the club's kit maker.

While exact financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, fans are already eagerly anticipating the reveal of the first Reebok kits ahead of the new campaign.

A special Adidas referee kit has been created for American official Tori Penso, featuring the brand's iconic three stripes customized in the United States national colors. Spotted at the 2026 World Cup game between Czechia and South Africa, the unique jersey adds a personalized, patriotic touch to the standard match official uniform.

However, because there has been no official announcement from Adidas regarding this custom design, it is not clear if other referees will also wear similar kits during the tournament.

USL League One side Forward Madison FC have released their 2026 third kit, produced by Hummel as part of the 'Udderly Wisconsin' collection to celebrate June Dairy Month. The shirt features a distinctive Holstein cow-inspired print, with a unique twist where each black spot is shaped like one of the local Wisconsin lakes. Adding to the agricultural theme, the jersey includes an 'Udderly Wisconsin' jocktag and an individually numbered leather ear tag, limited to just 500 pieces. The design is completed with a 3D raised Hummel logo and the club's crest rendered in their iconic pink color.

The goalkeeper version is all-pink.

England have moved the front numbers on their 2026 World Cup home kit to the center of the chest, aligning the match-worn shirts with the retail versions. When the Three Lions initially debuted their Nike 2026-27 home kit earlier this year, the front numbers were unexpectedly placed on the right chest below the Swoosh, causing confusion as promotional images had shown them centered. Now, for the World Cup opener, the home kit's front numbers have been repositioned to the middle, matching the design of the away kit and Nike's original product shots.

Dutch Tweede Divisie team RKAV Volendam have revealed their new 2026-27 home kit. Made by Jako, the new RKAV Volendam 2026-27 home shirt features a traditional orange base with a special design paying tribute to "De Bap", a famous local statue of an old fisherman that overlooks the village's harbor. The new kit will be worn during the club's upcoming campaign and continues Jako's trend of heritage-inspired designs for the team.

South Korean K League 1 club FC Seoul has officially released its new 2026 Summer Edition kit, produced by local sportswear brand Pro-Specs. Following up on the Seoul Blossom Special Kit launched earlier this year in March, the new Summer Edition jersey offers a fresh design for the warmer months of the 2026 season. The release continues the club's trend of introducing special seasonal uniforms to complement their standard home and away options.

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.

The Uzbekistan national team is making its debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but their kit typography might look very familiar to football fans. For their 2026 World Cup jerseys, produced by the brand 7 Saber, Uzbekistan is using the official La Liga font from the 2017-18 season for their player numbers and names.

Interestingly, this is not the first time the Uzbekistan Football Association has opted for this specific typeface. The team previously utilized the exact same La Liga 2017-18 font on their kits when they were supplied by Jako. The continued use of an old league-wide font for a national team on the biggest global stage is a highly unusual kit quirk.

Uzbekistan is also not the only national team to recycle this design. The 2017-18 La Liga typography has been spotted on the kits of several other nations in recent years, including DR Congo, and at major tournaments such as the 2023 Asian Cup and the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.

A fascinating new graphic created by football designer @PaladarNegroWeb showcases the complete evolution of the typography used on the Argentina national team kits across their FIFA World Cup history. The overview provides a direct look at how the squad numbers have transformed over the decades, highlighting the shift in design philosophies from tournament to tournament.

The visual comparison clearly illustrates the transition from the simple, classic block numbers of the past to the highly customized typefaces of the modern era. Fan reactions to the historical overview often favor the iconic, traditional fonts seen during the 1978, 1986, and 1990 World Cups. In contrast, the more experimental and uniform designs introduced by Adidas in recent tournaments, particularly the fonts used in 2010, 2018, and 2022.

Typography plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic and historical memory of a football shirt. This comprehensive look at Argentina's World Cup numbers serves as a great reminder of how font choices can define a specific era of football, allowing fans to easily pinpoint exactly which tournament a classic jersey belongs to based on the style of the player's number.

Scottish Premiership club Dundee FC have officially launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season.

The new Macron Dundee FC 2026-27 away shirt features a predominantly sky-blue base complemented by subtle geometric and linear detailing across the front. The design is inspired by the city's rich industrial heritage and is completed with clean white trim on the collar and cuffs.

The official club crest and Macron logo are displayed prominently on the chest, tying into the fresh sky-blue aesthetic.

In the World Cup 2026 match between Colombia and Uzbekistan, James Rodríguez was spotted wearing a special "Golden Boot" patch on the right sleeve of his jersey, honoring the Golden Boot award he won at the 2014 World Cup after scoring six goals, including his iconic volley against Uruguay.
