Cerro Porteño Cover Up Shirt Sponsor Following Bank Collapse
Paraguayan giants Cerro Porteño took to the pitch with a notable makeshift modification on their kits during their Torneo Clausura match against Libertad. The club applied a dual-colored red and blue patch directly over the chest to conceal the logo of primary sponsor ueno bank, which usually sits prominently above Tigo.
The swift move comes after the Central Bank of Paraguay intervened and initiated a resolution process for ueno bank following a severe drop in the institution's solvency index below legal thresholds, leading to a complete halt of its operations. Rather than sporting the failed financial entity's branding on their Puma kits, Cerro Porteño opted to cover it up on the pitch, a move mirrored across Paraguayan football as rivals Olimpia and the national football association took steps to scrub the brand from uniforms and stadiums.
Cerro Porteño had signed an extensive long-term agreement with the bank that was set to run through 2030, covering not only jersey sponsorship but also the naming rights for their stadium, La Nueva Olla. With legal teams now reviewing the contract for formal termination, the club is set to permanently strip the branding across all kit wear and club facilities.

Monogram Logos in Football
Monograms combine letters from a name into a distinctive symbol. Dating back to the Middle Ages, they were originally used on coins, seals and as personal signatures.
By the late 19th century, monograms had become increasingly popular among British sporting clubs, appearing on caps, shirts and official documents. Many football clubs adopted the style for their early crests, combining initials from their names into a single emblem.
While some clubs have since moved to other designs, monograms remain an important part of football identity. The style is particularly popular in Brazil, where iconic examples include Flamengo, Fluminense, Internacional...

Martin Ødegaard Trains in Next-Gen Adidas Predator 27 Prototype Boots
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has been spotted testing a whiteout prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator football boots during training. Following in the footsteps of Arsenal teammate Declan Rice, who was also recently seen trialing an all-white test model, the Norwegian playmaker took to the pitch in the unreleased silhouette as Adidas intensifies elite athlete feedback ahead of the generation's official unveiling.
The prototype worn by Ødegaard features a laced low-cut build with a streamlined knit tongue construction, tailored to his personal fit preferences. Aesthetically, the upcoming boot draws unmistakable inspiration from the iconic 2000 Predator Precision, highlighted by sweeping, wavy three stripes wrapping around the sides.
Expected to hit the market in late 2026 or early 2027 ahead of the second half of the 26-27 campaign, the next-generation Adidas Predator will be available in laced, laceless, and classic fold-over tongue editions.
Carrarese 26-27 Olympic Gold Anniversary Kits Released
Italian Serie B club Carrarese Calcio and technical sponsor Givova have officially unveiled two special limited-edition kits for the 26-27 season. The jerseys commemorate the 90th anniversary of Italy's football gold medal victory at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, celebrating the four local players from Carrara who were part of the historic Azzurri squad managed by Vittorio Pozzo.
The four Carrarese players—Bruno Venturini, Paolo Vannucci, Achille Piccini, and Libero Marchini—remain fundamental figures in the club's identity, with Carrarese's home stadium, the Stadio dei Marmi, dedicated to them as the "Quattro Olimpionici Azzurri." Drawing inspiration from 1930s football aesthetics, the design introduces a distinctive oblique sash across the torso, complemented by an open collar finished with classic lace-up detailing. Along the lower part of the diagonal band, a dedicated inscription commemorates the four local champions.
Two versions have been created for the release: a primary gold jersey accented by an azzurro sash, and an inverted azzurro blue edition paired with a gold stripe. Crafted using Givova's breathable GivDry 2.0 fabric, these special kits will be worn on the pitch by Carrarese during upcoming Serie B league fixtures against Sampdoria and Pisa.

No More Adidas: Hummel Le Puy Foot 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hummel and French side Le Puy Foot have officially released the club's new 26-27 third kit. Named the "Héritage" shirt, the special release pays tribute to the club's predecessor, COP Le Puy, and their memorable five-year spell competing in French Division 2 between 1984 and 1989.
The Hummel Le Puy 26-27 third jersey revives the traditional red and black vertical stripes from that historic era. In a meaningful historical touch, the names of the presidents, coaches, and players who took part in those Division 2 campaigns are embedded directly into the black stripes. The kit is complemented by a black polo collar with a white insert, tonal chevrons across the red base, Hummel chevrons on the shoulders, and gold branding, finished off with "Héritage COP 1984-1989" printed below the back collar.
Alongside the standard short-sleeve version, Le Puy Foot is offering the 26-27 third kit in a limited-edition collector box featuring a numbered long-sleeve jersey.
Stained With Piura Soil: Special Atlético Grau 2026 'Against El Niño' Kit Released
Peruvian Liga 1 club Atlético Grau and domestic sportswear brand Walon have officially introduced a unique awareness kit titled "Contra el Fenómeno El Niño" (Against El Niño). Dubbed "La Camiseta de la Solidaridad," the shirt was debuted in league action to spotlight the ongoing threat of seasonal flooding in northern Peru and urge timely evacuation and safety measures among local communities.
The jersey features a white base with the lower half heavily stained by Piura earth, transitioning from dry, cracked ground into splashed mud across the torso. The graphic reaches mid-chest to represent the alarming water levels recorded during the devastating 2017 floods in Piura, which rose up to 1.5 meters high. Traditional red and yellow detailing frames the design on the polo collar and sleeve cuffs, complementing the sponsor prints and the club crest.
Accompanied by the club campaign slogan stating that protecting each other is the most important match, Atlético Grau and Walon use the symbolic shirt to promote flood preparedness and awareness across the region.
