Adidas Originals Benfica 1980-81 Retro Shirt Released
Benfica and Adidas Originals have officially launched a faithful reissue of the club's iconic 1980-81 home shirt. Billed under the campaign slogan "a mística. reencarnada." (the mystique. reincarnated.), the Bringback release celebrates a landmark chapter in the Portuguese giants' history, paying homage to the very first Benfica shirt to display the classic Adidas Trefoil.
The shirt faithfully captures the simple aesthetic of the early 1980s with its classic red base, ribbed white round collar, matching white cuffs, and the signature three stripes running down the full length of the long sleeves. The retro look is completed with a vintage embroidered Benfica crest on the left chest and the iconic Adidas Trefoil on the right chest, both executed in raised relief without any front-of-shirt sponsor clutter.
Unveiled alongside current first-team stars and celebrated by ten club legends from that historic era, the Benfica 1980-81 retro jersey is crafted from 100% recycled polyester in a relaxed lifestyle fit. The piece is available now through the official Benfica store.

Special Adidas Montpellier FC 26-27 Mental Health Awareness Kits Unveiled
French women's side Montpellier FC took to the pitch wearing unique, special-edition Adidas kits to raise awareness for mental health and neurodiversity during their Arkema Première Ligue fixture against OL Lyonnes. Using the club's 26-27 Adidas home and goalkeeper templates as a canvas, each shirt sported an individual custom illustration placed prominently on the front.
Created in partnership with the Psychiatry, Child Psychiatry, and Addictology department of the Montpellier University Hospital (CHU de Montpellier), the custom illustrations were produced by young patients during dedicated workshops. The hand-drawn graphics reflect personal experiences, struggles, and sources of resilience. Themes visible across the navy blue and lime green shirts highlight conditions like ADHD and dyslexia, touch upon body image issues, and feature uplifting personal motifs including a cat named Pelouche and the slogan "time moves you STRONGER."
Following their on-pitch debut, the match-worn collector jerseys are being sold through Montpellier FC's official store, with proceeds directed to support the hospital's specialized programs and patient care.
Special Santos Laguna Día de Muertos Kit Font Revealed
Liga MX side Santos Laguna paid homage to the traditional Mexican holiday Día de Muertos with a special commemorative kit font, worn on their 26-27 Charly home shirts during their league encounter against Club Necaxa.
Rather than launching a completely separate fourth kit, the club decorated their signature green-and-white hooped jerseys with bespoke typography on the back. The custom numbers feature intricate folk-art motifs closely tied to the Day of the Dead, including decorative sugar skulls (calaveras), cempasúchil flowers, delicate birds, and traditional patterned borders colored in matching shades of dark and light green.
The special edition numbering follows a growing trend in Liga MX of clubs celebrating the cultural holiday through customized matchday typography. While Santos Laguna previously debuted full Día de Muertos-themed kits alongside Charly in 2020, this year's subtle yet detailed tribute added a festive touch to their standard home strip.

Harry Kane Debuts Special Skechers SKX2 'Mark of Greatness' Ballon d'Or Boots
Fresh off his historic 2026 Ballon d'Or triumph, Harry Kane laced up in a special pair of custom Skechers boots on the pitch for Bayern Munich. Named the SKX_2 Elite 'Mark of Greatness', the bespoke one-of-one edition was crafted to commemorate Kane's sensational 25-26 campaign, in which he scored 73 goals across 65 appearances for club and country, becoming the first English winner of the prestigious award since 2001.

Cruz Azul Debuts Special 26-27 Día de Muertos Kit Font
Cruz Azul debuted a custom Día de Muertos kit font during their Liga MX Apertura 2026 fixture against León. Celebrating one of Mexico's most meaningful cultural traditions, La Máquina showcased the commemorative lettering on their navy 26-27 Pirma home shirts as well as the bright green goalkeeper jersey.
The typography introduces custom white digits shaped with vintage flourishes and adorned with delicate Día de Muertos symbolism. Each numeral features an understated skull watermark patterned across the base, highlighted by colorful calavera (sugar skull) illustrations, glowing candles, and flower petals. The official club crest is placed at the base of each number, paired with arched, clean white lettering for the player names.
The celebratory font proved to be a good charm on the pitch, with Cruz Azul securing a 2-1 victory over León to mathematically guarantee their spot in the Apertura 2026 Liguilla. While several Liga MX teams embrace Day of the Dead details each autumn, Cruz Azul's custom Pirma typography was prepared specifically as a one-off matchday feature.
Special Shatin SA x Chibi Godzilla Kit Release
Hong Kong Premier League club Supreme Shatin have teamed up with Toho's popular animated franchise Chibi Godzilla to release an eye-catching special-edition kit for the 26-27 campaign. Produced by technical sponsor Kelme, the limited shirt incorporates a playful Halloween theme into the team's matchday look.
The jersey is predominantly white and complemented by purple accents along the collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulders, featuring Kelme's signature paw prints. Across the chest, the usual main sponsor is swapped for bold red "Chibi Godzilla Raids Again" text, set above a colorful parade of miniature kaiju characters from the series. The inner collar is stamped with official Godzilla and Toho licensing marks.
The festive theme continues on the back of the shirt, where a purple "Spooky Halloween" graphic sits directly above the player's name. Inside the bold black and purple squad numbers, Chibi Godzilla appears in full vampire attire, sporting a Dracula cape and cane to complete the unique crossover design.
