Barnsley End HEX Sponsorship Deal After 2 Games
Only seven days after announcing crypto firm Hex.com as their new shirt sponsor, Barnsley have taken the decision to end the deal over homophobic tweets made by individuals linked to the company, according to BBC.com. This also means the removal of one of the worst sponsor logos of the season from their shirts.
Barnley End Hex Deal After One Week
Barnley debuted the oversized, mismatching Hex.com logo on their shirts just a week ago, but it has already made its last appearance on their kits. The reason for the cancellation of the deal is said to be offensive tweets made by two people who helped broker the deal between Barnsley and the crypto company.
Most of the tweets were of a homophobic nature but there were also tweets supporting conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook school shooting which happened in 2012. Controversial tweets from Hex founder Richard Heart were also taken into account.
Barnsley issued the following statement on Friday:
Barnsley Football Club value our fans and our core beliefs above everything else. Following recent events and a subsequent investigation, the Club has assessed its relationship with its front of shirt sponsor and has taken steps to end that relationship with immediate effect. The HEX.com logo will not appear on the team’s kits going forward. Further comment will be issued in due course.
They played against Derby in sponsorless shirts yesterday, losing 2-1. Barnsley did the right thing by ending the deal, but agreeing to a partnership with such a questionable firm in the first place was also a mistake.
Hex founder Richard Heart looking like a man with strong morals.

FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.
Sam Kerr Debuts Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Signature Boots
Sam Kerr has officially given her new Nike Mercurial signature boots their on-pitch debut, stepping out for Gotham FC in the vibrant design. Following Nike's official launch of the pair on September 21, 2026, the Australian forward wasted no time lacing them up for competitive action. Kerr took to the pitch wearing her preferred low-cut iteration of the silhouette, continuing her longstanding preference for low collars over the high dynamic fit collar.
This boot follows Kerr's debut signature Mercurial from 2025, which took inspiration from the coastal beaches of her hometown Perth.
Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
