1 hour ago, by Chris
- FC Barcelona Signs Karim Adeyemi: FC Barcelona officially confirmed the signing of Karim Adeyemi for the 26-27 season.
- Controversial AI Graphic Used: The club's promotional announcement graphic for Adeyemi was identified as 99% likely to be AI-generated and drew criticism from fans for its amateurish quality.
- Glaring Errors in Artwork: The AI-generated image contained clear errors in the Barça kit details, including incorrect side panels and a distorted club crest, alongside an obviously artificial background street scene.
FC Barcelona have officially confirmed the signing of Karim Adeyemi ahead of the 26-27 season, but their promotional announcement graphic does not fit what you would expect for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Glaring Kit and Background Errors
Posted on the club's official X account on July 23, 2026, the image featuring the forward has been flagged by detection tools as 99% likely to be AI-generated. While the transfer itself is entirely genuine, fans were quick to call out the club for using an amateurish, artificial image for such a high-profile signing.
The AI-generated artwork is riddled with unmistakable errors, particularly concerning the details of the Barça kit. The digital shirt worn by Adeyemi features incorrect side panels that completely miss the authentic Aero-Fit template, replacing it with a straight, continued cut. Additionally, the shoulder construction is wrong, and the ball of the famous FC Barcelona crest is highly distorted.
Indeed, the image's background gives the AI away even more easily. The street scene is classic AI, with random humans put together - what are they doing there?
Shortly after, Barcelona posted a real image of Adeyemi with Barcelona's president.
Are you surprised to see Barcelona using AI for such a huge transfer announcement? Let us know in the comments below.

Similarity Between Arsenal's 21-22 and 26-27 Kits
Leaked images of the Arsenal 26-27 third kit have many fans comparing it to the club's 21-22 away shirt. Both designs share a very similar light yellow base, a classic round collar, and matching dark blue and red accents.
Although the new jersey introduces a lightning bolt pattern representing the Royal Arsenal logo, this subtle detail might not be enough to make the design feel truly fresh or ground-breaking. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the comparison image.
Manchester United Use Old Champions League Patch in New Kit Promo
In the latest promotional post for their new 26-27 away kit, Manchester United was spotted using an outdated version of the UEFA Champions League patch. The shirt featured the old starball badge with a white border instead of the updated black outline - a minor mistake that also appeared during the club's earlier home kit launch.
Back in 2024, UEFA introduced a redesigned Champions League patch with a outer black border to improve visibility on light-colored jerseys. Since United missed out on Champions League football during the first two seasons of the new design, the club's kit staff might simply still be getting used to the updated spec. Thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the spotted.
