Adidas’ new UEFA Champions League Pro Winterball for the 2026-27 season, designed only for matches played in adverse winter conditions has officially made its appearance during Arsenal’s latest training session.

However, the ball was spotted alongside standard balls, suggesting it is unlikely to feature in upcoming official fixtures just yet.

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori gave the new Adidas David Beckham Predator 26 boots a memorable on-pitch debut during Arsenal's Premier League clash against Leeds United, finding the net while lacing up the signature design.

The Italian international became the first player to wear the boots in a competitive match and score in them, grabbing Arsenal's equalizer in their 2-1 comeback win at the Emirates Stadium. Released earlier in the week, the boots commemorate the 25th anniversary of David Beckham's famous stoppage-time free kick against Greece in October 2001.

The special-edition Predator features a clean white base paired with vibrant red accents inspired by the England flag. The design is headlined by the iconic fold-over tongue displaying the Adidas Trefoil logo alongside Beckham branding, which tied in seamlessly with Arsenal's traditional home colors.

Adidas is expanding its terrace-rooted Spezial F.C. label to the Emirates, with a newly surfaced teaser confirming an upcoming Arsenal SPZL F.C. collection. Thanks to @IamCrisJ.

The teaser reveals the collaborative Arsenal SPZL F.C. insignia, presenting the club's heritage cannon emblem and "AFC" cannonballs in red set above a red-bordered box housing the Trefoil and "adidas SPEZIAL F.C." branding in gold. Following the blueprint established by previous SPZL F.C. club projects, the range will lean heavily into retro football culture, archival tailoring, and casual terrace style.

The upcoming Arsenal SPZL F.C. range will include bespoke footwear and lifestyle apparel, slated for release through ArsenalDirect, adidas, and select Spezial retailers.

Arsenal took the pitch in a rare all-red kit combination for their 26-27 UEFA Champions League opener against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Mikel Arteta's side paired their regular home shirt with alternative red shorts and red socks, creating a striking monochrome lower half below the shirt's traditional white sleeves.

The uniform change was enforced due to UEFA's strict regulations regarding kit clashes. With Napoli wearing their standard home ensemble featuring white shorts, Arsenal were unable to use their primary white home shorts. Rather than switching to an away or third kit, the club utilized their alternative red shorts designed specifically for such color-conflict scenarios.

This marked the first time the Arsenal senior men's team had worn the all-red look since a Premier League trip to Watford in March 2022. Interestingly, the Gunners also donned an all-red setup at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona during a Europa League quarter-final clash against Napoli back in 2019. The combination proved to be a good omen once again, as Arsenal claimed a 1-0 victory thanks to a second-half goal from Martin Ødegaard.

Following the close of the summer transfer window, Arsenal's men's squad numbers for the 26-27 season have been locked in. Kit expert and collector @ArsenalShirt has shared a comprehensive visual overview displaying the finalized names and numbers printed on the club's 26-27 home and goalkeeper jerseys as the Gunners prepare to defend their Premier League crown.

The updated roster integrates a wave of high-profile signings alongside the established core. Among the notable assignments, Viktor Gyökeres takes the iconic number 14 shirt, Eberechi Eze steps into the coveted number 10, and Bruno Guimarães wears his familiar number 39. Defensive arrivals are also accounted for, with Cristhian Mosquera taking number 3, Piero Hincapié taking number 5, and Ezri Konsa assigned number 15. Christos Tzolis and Noni Madueke wear numbers 17 and 20 respectively, while Martin Zubimendi takes number 36. Between the posts, David Raya keeps number 1, joined by Kepa Arrizabalaga at number 13 and Illan Meslier at number 30.

Several club stalwarts maintain their traditional numbers, including Bukayo Saka (7), captain Martin Ødegaard (8), and Declan Rice (41), while the number 9 remains vacant following summer departures. Promising academy graduates Myles Lewis-Skelly (49) and Max Dowman (56) are also officially integrated into the senior squad list for the 26-27 campaign.
