Nottingham Forest to Start Season in Sponsorless Shirts? Still Without Main Sponsor
Newly-promoted Nottingham Forest are still without a shirt sponsor for the 22-23 season, less than two weeks out from the start of the campaign. Sportbusiness report that they have already refused proposals that do not match their desired fee of £10 million per season.
Nottingham Forest Without Shirt Sponsor
Forest have revealed their new shirts and new signings with the chest left blank. They had been sponsored by boiler manufacturer BOXT last season, but the company confirmed on Monday that they will not be renewing that deal. Prior to that, virtual stock market and betting platform Football Index adorned their shirts, but that partnership ended abruptly when the company collapsed, in what should serve as a cautionary tale for other clubs when it comes to getting into bed with betting and crypto sponsorships.
Now that Nottingham Forest can boast Premier League status, they are in a position to negotiate more valuable contracts with sponsors thanks to the vastly increased exposure they can guarantee potential suitors. BOXT say they had a "multi million pound offer" to remain as shirt sponsor turned down, and therefore decided to pull out of the race.

The club were in negotiations with other companies but have not yet received an offer that they deem acceptable, with SportBusiness reporting that a deal worth around £10 million a season would see them put pen to paper. It remains to be seen who will stump up the cash to have their name on the front of Forest's shirt, or if the club will have to settle for a smaller sum. For now, starting the Premier League season in sponsorless shirts is a real possibility.

Amiens SC Add Pink Details to 26-27 Home Kit for Pink October
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.
Alianza Universidad 2026 Special Kit Released
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.
Adidas Reuses Spain’s 2026 Training Kits
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.
