Kits

A much cleaner, single-sponsor edition of the Bali United 26-27 Adidas Trefoil away kit has been revealed, providing fans and kit enthusiasts with the simplified look they have been asking for. While Bali United's senior team away kit carries an array of commercial partner logos across the front in typical Indonesian league fashion, this streamlined version has been produced specifically for the club's youth squads in the Elite Pro Academy 26-27 campaign.

The shirt retains the exact artistic foundation crafted by Adidas Indonesia in collaboration with local Balinese artist Dewa Gede Raka Jana Nuraga (Rakajana). Subtly sublimated across the white fabric are intricate cultural graphics inspired by Hanoman and traditional Balinese Lamak motifs. The look is framed by a black folded collar with vibrant red piping, matching red three stripes running down the shoulders, and the classic Adidas Trefoil logo on the chest opposite the monochrome Bali United crest.

The defining difference lies in the chest sponsor execution. Instead of several crowded sponsor patches, the front features only the retro-styled Indomie banner logo in black and white. Finished with the official EPA One competition sleeve badge and an anti-racism campaign patch, this academy variant delivers a vastly superior, retro-focused visual balance that highlights the Trefoil design.

Following Spain's triumph at the 2026 World Cup, which secured their second global title, Adidas officially updated the national team's match kits with two gold stars and the central FIFA World Champions badge. However, a closer look at the squad's recent training camp reveals that a makeshift approach was taken for their daily training gear. Huge thanks to What the Kit for the great spot.

Instead of producing new batches of training shirts, Adidas and the Spanish federation chose to repurpose existing stock. Detailed photographs of defender Aymeric Laporte in the blue training top clearly show that the original single star above the crest was peeled away, with two smaller stars heat-pressed onto the fabric above the shield. The faint adhesive imprint and outline of the removed single star remain visibly stamped into the fabric.

While fans can purchase proper factory-made two-star home and away match shirts, the national team's training apparel provides an intriguing look at equipment room logistics at the highest level. Modifying already produced gear reduces waste, so it is actually a good act.

French side Amiens SC have introduced a special update to their 26-27 Puma home kit in support of the annual Octobre Rose (Pink October) breast cancer awareness and screening campaign. Debuted during their 3-0 victory against FC Villefranche at the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne, the club's traditional black-and-white halved home strip was revamped with vibrant pink details.

The customized kit features eye-catching pink names and squad numbers on the back, along with pink-tinted sponsor graphics, including Intersport and Igol. Completing the tribute is a small pink ribbon placed prominently on the right chest just above the Puma cat branding.

Amiens SC confirmed that the special pink printing is not a one-match appearance; the team will also wear the modified kit during their upcoming away match against Valenciennes FC later this month.

Peruvian club Alianza Universidad de Huánuco and local manufacturer Real Sport have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit for the 2026 season. Launched under the slogan "Vestimos nuestra fe" (We wear our faith), the release embraces Peru's deep-rooted October tradition of donning purple to pay homage to religious heritage, specifically honoring the Señor de Burgos, the patron saint of Huánuco.

The Real Sport Alianza Universidad 2026 special shirt swaps the team's customary red and blue palette for a striking purple and white striped look. It features bold purple vertical stripes across the front, complemented by a purple crew neck and matching sleeve trim on white sleeves. On the upper back sits an intricate graphic badge depicting the Señor de Burgos, accompanied by the inscription "Rey y Patrón de Huánuco", while squad numbers are rendered in gold with purple outlines.

The special edition kit is set to make its on-pitch debut during October Liga 2 action and is currently available via pre-order through the club's official channels.

During recent UEFA Nations League training sessions, Spain was spotted using old training jerseys with one star removed and two additional stars printed above the logo. The imprint of the old star remains visible on the shirts.

This case is reminiscent of another interesting situation involving the Argentina futsal team at the 2021 Futsal World Cup. Despite being the defending champions, Argentina was not provided bespoke kits by Adidas and had to use standard jerseys, from which two stars were removed and replaced with one, as they had only won the Futsal World Cup once.

Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collages.

Based on leaked details from myach_lab, our partner @whatthekit_x have created a mockup of the Chelsea 27-28 hỏm shirt. The design combines a blue base with yellow details and a distinctive checkered sleeve pattern, while the Nike and Chelsea logos are placed centrally. The simplified lion crest from this season is also retained.
