Manchester United Force to Modify Third Kit Sponsor for Champions League
Facing off against Como 1907, Manchester United took the pitch in their third kit, featuring a noticeable twist on the front-of-shirt sponsor logo.
The Red Devils were required to add the "Snapdragon" wordmark beneath the signature fireball emblem. This change comes down to strict UEFA Equipment Regulations, which mandate that main front-of-shirt sponsor branding must remain consistent across all registered match kits (home, away, and third).

Raphina Wearing Two Captain Armbands at Champions League
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona captains always take the pitch wearing two captain's armbands at the same time, one issued by UEFA and another representing the club.
This tradition dates back to around 2012, when UEFA introduced official captain's armbands across its club competitions. Under Article 42, Paragraph 42.01 (h) of the UEFA Kit and Equipment Regulations, armbands are prohibited from displaying decorative elements other than the word "Captain" or an abbreviation thereof.
Because Barcelona's iconic armband prominently features the four red stripes of the Catalan flag (Senyera), club captains wear a standardized UEFA armband alongside it to ensure full regulatory compliance.
For over a decade, from Carles Puyol, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Lionel Messi to Raphinha has maintained this tradition in the Champions League. Look closely, they almost always wear the Senyera armband on the outside.

Lommel SK 26-27 Third Kit Released - Not Available to Buy
Belgian Pro League club Lommel SK and Puma have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Completing the club's collection alongside their green home and sand-beige away kits, the new strip introduces a stealthy, sharp aesthetic for the campaign.
The Puma Lommel SK 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black and features an intricate woven graphic pattern that creates a distinctive glossy sheen across the fabric. White accents complement the dark base, including a monochrome Lommel SK crest, the Puma cat branding, and the Etihad Airways sponsor on the front. Matching black shorts and socks round off the full on-pitch uniform.
In an unusual move, Lommel SK confirmed that the new 26-27 third kit is strictly reserved for the first team on matchdays and will not be made available for supporters to purchase in the official shop.
Tigres UANL Wear Pink Numbers for Breast Cancer Awareness
Mexican side Tigres UANL joined the global campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Octubre Rosa) during their Liga MX Apertura 2026 clash against Club León at Estadio Universitario. The club marked the occasion with dedicated pink details across both their pre-match routine and on the pitch to promote early detection and self-examination.
During the pre-game warm-up, Tigres players stepped out in custom light pink T-shirts. The front featured the wordmark "TIGRES" with the letter "I" replaced by a breast cancer awareness ribbon, topped by a tonal club crest. On the reverse, the shirts showcased the campaign's central message: "Ser Incomparable es notarlo a tiempo. Autoexplórate" ("Being Incomparable is catching it in time. Self-examine").
For the match itself, Tigres lined up in their regular 26-27 home kit, but with an eye-catching twist. The standard font coloring was replaced with vibrant pink player names and numbers on the back, offering a sharp contrast against their classic yellow and blue shirts while keeping the awareness initiative in full focus throughout the ninety minutes.
