Perfectly Curacao Player Boot-Kit Combo at 2026 World Cup
In the recent 2026 World Cup match, Curaçao national team player Jearl Margaritha wore the F50 "Ice Cold Precision" boots, but in a custom version with a slightly darker colorway to perfectly match the blue shade of Curaçao's 2026 home kit. Big thanks to @abcdefutbol.
The custom F50 was designed by @studio_nusa and draws inspiration from the waves surrounding the Caribbean island. The boots also feature the phrase "The Blue Wave" on the outer side.
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
