May 19, 2026, by Phan Tich Giay
- Collaboration: Adidas and Someone Somewhere have partnered to release a hand-embroidered version of the Mexico 2026 World Cup third kit.
- Craftsmanship: Over 150 indigenous female artisans from Naupan, Mexico, invested 165,000 hours of hand embroidery using traditional techniques, making each of the 2,026 jerseys unique.
- Availability: The limited-edition hand-embroidered jersey is available starting May 18 at someonesomewhere.mx and physical Someone Somewhere stores in and around Mexico City.
Following the launch of the Mexico 2026 World Cup third kit and its accompanying capsule collection, Adidas and Mexican lifestyle brand Someone Somewhere have teamed up once again to drop a spectacular, hand-embroidered edition of the jersey.
This special release serves as a powerful testament to their commitment to artisan communities, traditional craftsmanship, and the irreplaceable cultural identity of rural Mexico.
Hand-Embroidered Adidas x Someone Somewhere Mexico 2026 Third Kit
The hand-embroidered Adidas x Someone Somewhere Mexico 2026 World Cup third kit uses the authentic, long-sleeve version of the new third jersey as its canvas.
The front of the shirt has been beautifully elevated with hand-embroidered graphics inspired by the vibrant fireworks used during traditional festivals in the Naupan community.
To complete the bespoke look, the artisans also meticulously hand-stitched the iconic Three Stripes in the sleeve badge area, creating a seamless and fully integrated aesthetic down the arms.
The sheer scale of the craftsmanship behind this project is staggering. More than 150 indigenous female artisans from Naupan, located in the Mexican state of Puebla, were tasked with bringing their traditional embroidery techniques to the jerseys.
Over the course of 15 months, these talented women invested more than 165,000 hours of hand embroidery and used over a million meters of thread. Each resulting piece is unique, representing time, technique, and a deeply personal story worth admiring.
Each uniquely numbered jersey arrives in a custom rectangular tin box. This packaging is a direct and clever nod to the familiar habit of Mexican grandmothers and mothers storing their sewing kits inside empty cookie tins.
Due to the immense time and labor required for each shirt, this release is strictly limited to just 2,026 pieces globally - a perfect tribute to the upcoming World Cup year.
The hand-embroidered jersey is officially available starting May 18 via someonesomewhere.mx, as well as at physical Someone Somewhere stores in and around Mexico City.

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
Starting from the Round of 16 of the 2026 Copa Libertadores, CONMEBOL is introducing an updated, fully personalized champions badge for former tournament winners, as reported by chuyenaodau and jerseystory_vn.

The new design moves away from the generic template: the shield-shaped badge now features the club's official colors and subtle graphic patterns in the background, alongside the iconic Copa Libertadores trophy, a large title count, and the specific years in which the club won the competition.
Early images reveal customized versions for several qualified sides, including Boca Juniors displaying six titles in blue and gold, alongside Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense.
