Charlton Athletic have unveiled a special one-off Community Day shirt to celebrate the work of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT). The Addicks will wear the bespoke kit for their upcoming home match against Sheffield United at The Valley on Saturday, November 7.

Based on Charlton's 26-27 home design, regular front-of-shirt partner RSK voluntarily stepped aside for the fixture to allow the club's charitable arm to take center stage. In place of the usual sponsor branding, the front of the jersey features the CACT logo alongside bold lettering reading "£83M GENERATED IN SOCIAL IMPACT." The £83 million milestone represents the measurable social value created through the trust's extensive initiatives across south-east London and Kent, including health, education, and youth inclusion programmes validated by the University of Greenwich.

The special edition shirt was presented at a community launch event attended by trust participants, manager Nathan Jones, and first-team players Conor Coventry and Harvey Knibbs ahead of its one-off on-pitch appearance.

Admiral has expanded its retro archive collection with the official release of two Birmingham City remake shirts - the Birmingham City 94-95 home kit and the 93-94 away kit.

The Admiral Birmingham City 1994-95 home remake shirt is a direct re-edition of the original kit. It comes in a bright blue, with a striking white polo collar. It features a shiny material typical of 1990s kits, a jacquard pattern, and a rather odd 1875 badge at the collar front.

The Birmingham City 93-94 away shirt remake also faithfully recreates the original design worn over three decades ago. It features a bright yellow base accented with bold royal blue vertical stripes and a subtle jacquard pattern woven into the fabric. The look is completed by a blue polo collar with "Blues" embroidery, the classic block Admiral logo, Birmingham City's crest from the era, and the nostalgic Triton Showers front sponsor.

The remakes are available, priced at £46.

Middlesbrough FC debuted a bespoke font on their special 150th anniversary commemorative kit during their match against Wolves at the Riverside Stadium. Lettering and numbers specialist ID Unlimited provided the custom typeface for the occasion, designed specifically to match the limited-edition navy blue jersey crafted by Castore.

The commemorative font features an elegant gold finish that coordinates with the special 150th anniversary club crest and brand details. The numbers adopt a distinct inline double-contour structure with curved, retro-inspired geometry, while the player names are arched across the upper back in clean, refined typography. The look reinforces the heritage theme of the kit, which references Middlesbrough's founding in 1876 when players wore blue cricket whites before the club eventually adopted its traditional red.

The special nameset was worn exclusively for the anniversary celebration fixture and will not feature on the club's regular 26-27 league shirts, giving the rare commemorative jersey an even more distinct collector feel.

Middlesbrough have announced that their special 2026–27 150th anniversary shirt will be available to pre-order at 12 noon today, September 23.

QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.

The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.

From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.

Inter Milan took to the pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu for their UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid wearing a completely clean, sponsorless version of their 26-27 home shirt. The usual Betsson.sport logo was entirely missing from the chest, providing fans with a rare and striking old-school look for the Nerazzurri's iconic black and blue stripes.

The temporary alteration was made to comply with Spain's strict advertising laws. Under Royal Decree 958/2020, Spain prohibits gambling and betting operators from featuring on sports jerseys or engaging in promotional partnerships with sports teams. While Betsson operates in Italy under the Betsson.sport label as an infotainment platform to navigate the Italian Dignity Decree, Spanish regulatory authorities enforce a much broader interpretation that disallows the brand entirely. Under UEFA equipment regulations, visiting clubs are required to follow host country laws.

Because of the regulation, Inter prepared a sponsor-free run of shirts specifically for their trip to Madrid, leaving only the Nike Swoosh, club crest, and competition sleeve patches in place. The Betsson.sport branding will return to Inter's kits for their upcoming domestic and European matches where local laws permit it.

Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that they will step away from their traditional blue and white hoops for their upcoming home fixture, wearing their 26-27 blackout third kit instead when they host Middlesbrough. The club stated that the team will sport the alternative strip at home for one match only.

The one-off switch is tied to a community initiative organized in partnership with principal shirt sponsor MrQ and charity partner KitAid. Under the campaign, supporters attending the match are encouraged to trade in their old football shirts in exchange for a complimentary blackout shirt, with the donated kits distributed to disadvantaged communities across the globe.

Crafted by Italian brand Erreà, the stealthy 26-27 third strip features tonal dark hoops accompanied by subdued, murdered-out club crest and sponsor details.
