Trespass to design 2026 Commonwealth Games uniforms again
It comes after the Glasgow-based company designed the red, white and grey uniform worn by the workforce and volunteers at the Commonwealth Games in the city in 2014.
The 2026 Commonwealth Games is expected to feature around 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories who will compete across 10 sports and six Para sports at four venues.
The Trespass brand, which has 299 stores around the world, was established in 1984 in Glasgow by Afzal and Akmal Khushi.
They said: 'It's great to be back. When we designed the uniform in 2014, we thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, getting the chance to be part of the Games again, in our home city, and design a second uniform is truly special.
'We know how important the uniform is for uniting the Games workforce and we're now working hard to create a design that's the perfect fit for Glasgow 2026.'
Glasgow was last year announced as the host of the 2026 Games after the Australian state of Victoria pulled out due to rising costs.
Jade Gallagher, chief operating officer of Glasgow 2026, said: 'It's great to welcome back Trespass to the Games as a returning sponsor for 2026.
'The Games uniform means so much to our volunteers and is the first thing athletes and spectators will see as they approach our iconic venues.
'It is important that we have the best team producing it and we're confident that with Trespass as our partner we will deliver a sustainable and iconic uniform design that will make Scotland and Glasgow proud.
'The people of Glasgow are truly at the heart of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, so it feels fitting that Trespass, a homegrown brand with over 40 years of experience in activewear and a sponsor of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, is returning to design another uniform that will celebrate the city's vibrant culture and unique heritage.'
Sarah Quinn, a Glasgow 2014 volunteer, said she is looking forward to seeing the new design.
She said: 'Receiving my uniform at the 2014 Commonwealth Games was the moment everything became real.
'Wearing it gave me a sense of belonging to such a unique and exciting experience.
'I can't wait to see the 2026 design.'

Cutting deep: Welsh Rugby faces radical reform to reverse sport's decline
There is a desperate battle brewing in the proud rugby nation of Wales, with a U-turn by the Welsh Rugby Union throwing the game into chaos. ITV News Wales Reporter Rhys Williams has more Having punched above its weight for so long, Wales has worn its rugby heritage like a badge of honour. But after a string of disappointing results on the pitch, resignations in the governing body over allegations of misogyny and sexism, and a growing financial crisis, the future of Welsh rugby has never looked more months after pledging to fund the existing four professional clubs, the Welsh Rugby Union is now considering a radical and controversial restructuring of the professional game, including the possibility of halving the number of clubs from four to just two. It's a move that would reshape the sport at its highest level in Wales, but one that's already causing anger and resentment among thousands of has also created enormous uncertainty for the clubs, with the new season due to begin next would be a very bold move. No international team with fewer than four professional clubs has even finished higher than third in the Six Nations Rugby Championship, let alone win CEO Abi Tierney told ITV News today that this is a 'once-in-a-generation chance to get this right for Wales', and acknowledged the urgent need to provide stability and clarity to the game. With clubs facing challenging financial and performance issues, WRC CEO Abi Tierney explains why the reforms are being put forward But the turbulence isn't confined to the pitch.

What we're all aiming for is to get Welsh rugby, at both national and club level, into a much better place than it is now. That's what we're all working together to try and achieve.''Whatever happens, we're very positive about the future here at St Helen's and to be honest, we can't wait to be in.'The landscape of Welsh rugby looks set to change dramatically. The hope is that bold reform can reverse its the fear remains: cutting teams may only make things worse.

Henderson, 29, was out of contract this summer after four years at Empoli, with some speculation that he may return to British football. However, he has decided to remain in Italy after the Genoa-based club swooped for him. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Uncapped by Scotland, Henderson has been in Italy for the past seven years after deciding to try his luck on the continent back in 2018 when his contract at Celtic expired. Liam Henderson was relegated with Empoli. | Getty Images He first played for Bari in Serie B before moving to Hellas Verona. He had a loan spell with Empoli before switching to Lecce in 2020. He spent only one season there before moving to Empoli on a permanent deal, which was punctuated by one season with Palermo on loan. Henderson was a regular in Serie A last season with Empoli and helped them reach the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. However, they were unable to win their battle against relegation and were demoted to Serie B, where Henderson will now play with Sampdoria. Sampdoria's incredible escape from relegation I Blucerchiati were fortunate to avoid relegation to Serie C last season. They finished 18th in the automatic Serie B relegation places, but were thrown a lifeline when Brescia were deducted four points, moving Sampdoria up to 17th, where they faced a play-off with Salernitana instead to maintain their place in the Italian second tier.

Sampdoria announces the permanent acquisition of the registration rights of footballer Liam Henderson (born in Livingston, Scotland, on April 25, 1996).

Kate Waugh out to be best of Brits at T100 London triathlon
The 26-year-old from Gateshead laid down a marker with the biggest ever margin of victory on her debut at the distance in Singapore. She has now settled comfortably into the T100 level, having prioritised a fresh feeling after making her Games debut in Paris. 'It was really important for me to try something new,' Waugh said. 'I think a lot of people post-Olympics feel a bit burnt out because it is a lot. 'It is a race that comes around every four years, and there is a lot that goes into it, emotionally, mentally, physically. 'After my off-season, I asked my manager whether he thought I could get a T100 contract, and when one came through, I just really wanted to take that opportunity and jump on the T100 train. 'I have been watching it for a few years now and really admire the women in particular who race the T100, I just see them as such strong athletes, so I really wanted to get involved with it. It has been really positive and really refreshing to try something new.' T100 sees athletes complete a 2km swim, 80km bike and 18k run, with London the fourth stop on a nine-leg tour around the world. Waugh currently sits third in the standings as she followed up her win in Asia with third place in San Francisco. T100 has allowed Waugh to focus on new challenges after a Olympic debut that did not go to plan (Image: PTO/T100) She believes she has experienced two very different races, with Singapore going perfectly while having to grind out a result in California. In London, she leads a British pack of nine women set to compete, with three-time Olympic medallist Georgia Taylor-Brown making her debut at the distance. No Brit has yet topped the podium in the capital, with Kat Matthews coming closest as she finished third in 2024. Waugh added: 'There are so many of us who are super strong over that distance. 'It is pretty cool that we have such a strong contingent from Great Britain, obviously, I want to be the first one across the line. 'I hope the couple of races that I have done can give me that upper hand over newbies, like Georgia, at this distance. 'I would imagine she is going to be really strong as well. She is a very well-rounded athlete. 'And then there is Lucy Charles-Barclay, Lucy Byram, and India Lee, who are all really strong athletes, so I am sure everyone is pretty motivated to compete well, which hopefully makes for a really exciting race.' The next T100 Triathlon World Tour race takes place in London on 9-10 August. Visit
