Portuguese Primeira Liga club FC Famalicão have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Branded under the club's "100% Famalicão" initiative and carrying the concept "Famalicão, o Centro do Norte" (Famalicão, the Center of the North), the shirt celebrates the city's geographical importance and rich industrial heritage. For the second consecutive season, the special alternative jersey has been produced exclusively in partnership with local textile manufacturers from the Famalicão region.

The Puma FC Famalicão 26-27 third shirt combines a clean light mint-green base with refined metallic gold accents. Inspired by the 1940s Manoel de Oliveira documentary film dedicated to the municipality, the jersey features intricate map-like line patterns that converge on a central compass emblem, representing Famalicão's role as a historic crossroads and hub in northern Portugal. A centered club badge adorned with a golden wreath, a gold bwin front sponsor, and coordinating gold trim along the round collar and sleeve cuffs complete the design.

Matching mint-green shorts and socks with gold details round off the full strip. The new FC Famalicão 26-27 third kit is now available through the club's official stadium store and online shop.

On-screen graphics have become an integral part of modern football broadcasting, directly shaping how supporters digest match details and information. A comparison shared by sports media creator @Braylon_Breeze brought together 16 distinct scorebugs featured across contemporary broadcasts, highlighting the diverse visual identities adopted by major leagues and networks. From the clean, vertical arrangements of Ligue 1 and La Liga to the horizontal bars used across UEFA club competitions, the overview captures the differing design philosophies currently on display.

While all scorebugs serve the fundamental purpose of presenting the scoreline, match clock, and team colors, their execution varies considerably. Tournaments like the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the Premier League opt for streamlined horizontal strips with strong contrast and subtle tournament branding. In contrast, competitions such as the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 utilize distinctive square or stacked formats, while Apple TV's presentation for MLS embraces extreme minimalism by stripping away ornate design elements in favor of a low-profile look.

The side-by-side comparison sparked lively discussion among fans regarding legibility versus graphic flair. Supporters often single out the high readability of the Bundesliga and Champions League graphics for praise, while bulkier or more generic designs frequently draw criticism. As broadcast networks and leagues continue to overhaul their visual packages season after season, scorebugs remain one of the most prominent and scrutinized design pieces in televised football.

Swiss sportswear company On is taking its first official steps into football. Renowned globally for its high-performance running footwear and rapid expansion across tennis and athletics, the brand has begun teasing its venture into the world's most popular sport with dedicated football channels. This move follows reports earlier in 2026 indicating that On is preparing to challenge established giants like Nike, Adidas, and Puma by bringing its innovative production methods, including its robotic LightSpray upper technology, to football cleats.

The groundwork for On's football expansion has been developing behind the scenes for several months. The brand initially signaled its interest by partnering with young Swiss international Sydney Schertenleib to co-develop training and lifestyle products. As the Swiss company readies its debut boot models, speculation regarding marquee athlete endorsements has also accelerated, fueled by persistent industry rumors linking top-tier players to potential landmark deals with emerging market disruptors.

Early concepts and design previews indicate that On will translate its clean, technical aesthetic and seamless upper constructions directly onto the pitch. While technical specifications, launch timelines, and the official player roster for the upcoming 26-27 period remain tightly guarded, On's arrival represents one of the most fascinating shifts in the modern football footwear landscape.

Liverpool FC and adidas Originals have officially released a brand-new retro collection heavily inspired by the iconic adidas Equipment (EQT) era of the 1990s. Following earlier heritage drops, this new lifestyle capsule leans fully into the bold aesthetics of vintage nineties teamwear, combining a sharp black and EQT green colorway with oversized retro design elements.

The centerpiece of the range is a retro-inspired shirt crafted with subtle tonal vertical stripes, bold diagonal block stripes extending across the shoulders, and centered vintage logos featuring the classic 1990s Liverpool crest and adidas Trefoil wordmark. Alongside the jersey, the apparel collection includes a woven track jacket, half-zip top, crewneck sweatshirt, graphic t-shirts, and track pants, spanning unisex, women's, and kids' sizes.

The new adidas Originals Liverpool EQT collection is available immediately through the official Liverpool FC online store, club retail locations, and the official LFC Store app.

Al-Ittihad forward Steven Bergwijn has provided us with an in-hand image of his ike Kobe Mercurial football boots ahead of their official release. Reviving the celebrated Mambacurial look originally introduced on the 2013 Kobe 8, which itself drew inspiration from the Mercurial Vapor IX Fireberry, the special-edition boots feature a striking Hyper Pink, Electric Green, and Red Plum colorway. Scheduled to release as part of a crossover pack spanning both the Superfly 11 and Vapor 17 alongside the Kobe 8 Protro, the boots are slated to launch on September 19, 2026.

German forward Nick Woltemade has once again caught the attention of boot spotters following his loan switch to Juventus for the 26-27 season. In training sessions with the Bianconeri, the 24-year-old was seen wearing a bespoke pair of Adidas boots featuring a clever optical illusion: a laceless Adidas F50 speed boot disguised as a Predator 26. Big thanks to sr4u.

At first glance, the footwear mimics the visual language of the Predator silo, complete with simulated rubber strike elements and bold graphic patterning. A closer look, however, immediately reveals the telltale silhouette of the laceless F50. The boots feature the aerodynamic shape, seamless upper, and lightweight sole plate of the speed boot, with the Predator rubber fins merely printed onto the smooth synthetic shell rather than physically present.

This is not the first time Woltemade has turned heads with this specific setup. He was previously spotted in similar disguised F50 boots while on international duty with Germany earlier this year. Custom camouflage of this variety typically occurs when a player relies on the lightweight build and locked-in feel of a speed silo while marketing alignment or personal styling favors the identity of another line.

Dutch attacker Arnaut Danjuma is proving that great boots never go out of style, as he continues to lace up in the reissued Adidas F50 Adizero IV from the 2014 World Cup Battle Pack. While most professional players frequently rotate into the newest generation speed models, Danjuma has maintained an impressive loyalty to the limited-edition retro release years after its drop.

The boot in question is the 2022 Speed Legacy Pack remake of the legendary F50 Adizero IV, which originally dominated the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil on the feet of top scorers like James Rodríguez, Robin van Persie, and Thomas Müller. The reissue faithfully revived the distinctive black-and-white geometric upper pattern with metallic gold three stripes, while modernizing the underfoot tech with the lightweight Carbitex Speedframe tooling borrowed from the X Speedflow.

FC Barcelona and Spain midfield maestro Pedri has been spotted testing a whiteout prototype of the all-new Adidas adiPURE boots. Following Bayern Munich center-back Jonathan Tah, who stepped out in test pairs earlier this month, Pedri is now the most high-profile Adidas athlete seen taking the unreleased silhouette out onto the pitch.

The sighting comes as Adidas prepares to bring back the revered adiPURE silo for 2027, officially phasing out the Copa series to establish adiPURE as the brand's primary touch-and-leather boot alongside the Predator and F50. The next-generation adiPURE is engineered to combine classic heritage with modern speed, incorporating a plush Pureleather forefoot, a lightweight technical mesh quarter, a free-floating tongue, and a redesigned Adiframe soleplate.

While Pedri has been one of the central figures representing the Predator line, even rocking his personalized "Predri" signature branding, he has occasionally flirted with Copa models during training in previous seasons. Testing the whiteout prototype strongly indicates that Adidas might be positioning the Spanish technician as the premier ambassador to spearhead the revived adiPURE range ahead of its official debut in early 2027.

A-League side Central Coast Mariners have officially unveiled their new home, away, and third kits for the 26-27 season. Made by Australian brand Konqa in their debut A-Leagues collection following their Australia Cup release earlier this winter, the entire set is designed around the identity of the region, carrying the theme "inspired by the sand, the tide and the character of the Coast."

The 26-27 home kit represents the sand, sticking to the club's traditional bright yellow base complemented by navy accents. Across the front and back runs a subtle horizontal wave graphic reminiscent of ripples on the beach, completed by a ribbed navy-and-yellow crew collar and matching sleeve cuffs. In contrast, the away kit symbolizes the ocean's tide, featuring a navy foundation highlighted by electric blue vortex rings radiating outward from around the club crest.

Completing the trio, the sky blue third kit embodies the coast with a sublimated repeating palm tree graphic. The pattern draws directly from the iconic palm trees lining the bayside stadium in Gosford, paired with subtle Art Deco design elements. All three kits feature Polytec as the primary front-of-shirt sponsor and will be worn by both the men's and women's teams throughout the 26-27 campaign.

French Championnat National club Football Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 01 has officially launched its new away kit for the 26-27 campaign. Produced by Danish brand Hummel, the new design follows the earlier release of the team's home shirt.

The Hummel FBBP 01 26-27 away jersey is built on a clean white base and highlighted by an abstract, contour-like linework pattern flowing across the torso in subtle pink and orange hues. A traditional polo collar gives the shirt a refined aesthetic, accompanied by Hummel's signature black chevrons across the shoulders and vibrant contrast trim around the sleeve cuffs.

White shorts and matching white socks round out the full Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 26-27 away uniform.

Belgian club SV Zulte Waregem and supplier Patrick have unveiled a bespoke 26-27 away kit created exclusively for the women's team. Marking the first time the women's side receives a completely independent design separate from the men's kit, the shirt features a light pink base paired with dark green raglan sleeves and trim. Subtle tonal floral illustrations run across the body, incorporating jasmine, alstroemeria, violet, and gladiolus inspired by player and youth academy drawings to represent friendship, trust, and strength, with dark green shorts and light pink socks rounding off the full strip.
