The Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR) has officially announced a new long-term partnership with Adidas, confirming the Three Stripes as the official kit supplier and strategic partner across all national teams.

Adidas Czechia Kit Deal
The agreement brings an end to a 33-year relationship with Puma, who had outfitted the Czech national team uninterrupted since 1994 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
The departure from Puma represents a massive historical break for Czechia. Ever since the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Puma has served as the sole kit manufacturer for the independent Czech national team (the first match with Puma kits was played in May 1994).
Czechoslovakia Adidas Kits
Indeed, Czechoslovakia famously wore the 3 stripes.
The complete Adidas Czechia collection - including match kits, training gear, and lifestyle wear - is scheduled for an official launch on September 7, 2026. The men's senior team will debut the new home kit in the UEFA Nations League against Croatia on September 26, 2026, followed by the away kit debut against Spain on 3 October, 2026.

FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi Fourth Kit Leaked in Real Life
New real-life images of FC Barcelona's upcoming 26-27 special fourth kit have been shared by michaelemilio_, providing the best look yet at the physical jersey. Dedicated to Sant Jordi (Saint George), the patron saint of Catalonia, the shirt breaks away from the club's traditional yellow Senyera designs in favor of an elegant flat opal and light beige base, dominated by a large maroon St. George's cross across the torso.
Inside the collar sits a printed maroon rose emblem, the historic symbol of the Diada de Sant Jordi, accompanied by a small Catalan flag detail at the back of the neck. The leaked shirt is printed with young midfielder Xavi Espart's name and squad number 36 in navy with red outlines.
The complete uniform will be paired with dark navy shorts and socks. As standard for FC Barcelona's cup competitions and European fixtures, the jersey will feature the club's custom cup lettering rather than the standardized La Liga font.
The Nike FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi fourth kit capsule is scheduled to officially launch in January 2027.
Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.

The Bordeaux 26-27 home shirt is predominantly dark navy, centered around the iconic white scapular across the upper chest. A retro-styled white polo collar with a crossover V-neck and contrasting white sleeve cuffs complement the classic aesthetic. Adding depth to the navy base is a subtle tone-on-tone geometric pattern featuring a diamond grid interwoven with the three interlaced crescents from the city of Bordeaux's coat of arms.
Hummel completes the jersey with its signature white chevrons running along the shoulders, alongside the Hummel wordmark and the club's crest displayed on the chest. Navy shorts and socks complete the full 26-27 home kit.

Stade de Reims 26-27 Third Kit Released - Celebrating 100 Years of Circuit de Gueux
Puma and Stade de Reims have officially unveiled the club's new third shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The design serves as a tribute to the historic Circuit de Gueux racing track located just outside the city, marking the 100th anniversary of its opening in 1926.
The Puma Stade de Reims 26-27 third jersey is predominantly black, accented by curved light grey brush-stroke graphics across the body that resemble skid marks on asphalt. A contrasting grey V-neck collar, matching cuffs, and grey side panels complete the frame, while the club crest, manufacturer branding, and sponsor prints appear in clean monochrome white.
A standout finishing touch can be found at the lower hem in the form of a special commemorative jock tag. The badge features the Circuit de Gueux layout, the French tricolor, a checkered flag motif, and the inscription "100 ANS 1926-2026". The new third kit is available through the club's official webshop.
