AS Roma unveil new kit that has Celtic fans all saying the same thing about adidas
The Serie A giants and adidas have launched an eye-catching new third shirt that has left Hoops supporters green with envy Sportswear designers at adidas, look away now. Celtic fans aren't impressed. The Hoops have launched a raft of 2025/26 training and matchday gear over the summer - including three brand new kits. But ever since penning a record-breaking deal with adidas in 2020, fans have been split over the mixed bag of designs dished out by the German giants. And now some fed-up punters have hit boiling point after AS Roma unveiled a third strip that's left Celtic diehards green with envy. The Italian outfit dropped a stunning new jersey that looks strikingly similar to a classic Celtic top - featuring a white base, green collar and gold trim. The eye-catching shirt - made by adidas - doesn't come cheap, priced at £86.50 before any personalisation. But that hasn't stopped Hoops supporters from venting their fury online, with many insisting the kit should've been saved for Brendan Rodgers ' side. One baffled fan wrote: "Adidas: 'We've got a white and green, trefoil classic looking shirt with the word 'TIM' on the front of it, which club can we give this shirt to?' And still gives it out to Roma rather than Celtic. Mental." Another raged: "If you can't see that this is what @celticfc should be getting rather than that pair of pyjamas we got then you really need to pick up your game next year." This supporter fumed: "Who at Celtic and adidas passed the kits for Celtic this season because they're abysmal compared to many other kits released so far this marketing season." A fourth fan sighed: "Would have been an all timer this one." One punter took a more measured view, saying: "I've been a little critical of the noise around the Adidas kits this season but I have to say this would have been a beauty of a Celtic top." While another huffed: "This is why our shite strips are so frustrating. We're not asking for a masterpiece, just give us something simple and clean like this." There was at least one supporter prepared to defend adidas' corner, though, saying: "Still would be pointless kit though as it still clashes with St Mirren and Killie away. Point of away and 3rd kits is to avoid kit clashes, which adidas have failed to do in four different seasons for Celtic."

🤌 Roma's third kit: pure elegance, historic badge, green tribute 🌳
Roma and adidas unveil the new "Third" jersey for the 2025/26 season, a fusion of style and symbolism that pays homage to the natural heritage of the Capital. The concept behind the design comes to life from the green areas and famous gardens of Rome, merging elegance and innovative spirit in a kit that does not go unnoticed. 🤩 Italian details and iconic logo White dominates the scene, but it's the details that make the difference: collar and iconic three adidas stripes on the shoulders are dyed green, recalling the Roman vegetation, while the adidas Originals logo and the historic 'ASR' trigram stand out in bright yellow, creating a strong visual contrast. To complete the look, a refined pattern inspired by the geometries of Italian gardens, a real touch of class that tells of an elegant and modern Rome. A detail that is noticed in the video shared by the yellow and red club to announce the new shirt number of Artem Dovbyk, who leaves the 11 (goes to the new acquisition Ferguson) to take the 9. The collaboration between the yellow and red club and adidas continues to focus on the combination of historical roots and contemporary spirit. In this case too, the inspiration comes from the club's archives and its most authentic symbolism, with the aim of creating a product that speaks to both long-time fans and new generations. 👀 Debut in Germany The official debut is expected for July 26, when Roma will wear the new jersey in the friendly against Kaiserslautern at the Fritz-Walter Stadion, in Germany. Fans will be able to purchase the new Third Kit from July 23 at the AS Roma Store, online at at selected adidas outlets, on the adidas app, at and at JD stores, the club's official retail partner.

Dion makes a statement on and off pitch with his own jersey design
Celebration of legacy: Dion Cools in action in his adidas kit which has patterns inspired by his birthplace Sarawak. PETALING JAYA: Whether donning the national colours of Malaysia, the pink of Cerezo Osaka kit, or now his very own adidas kit – Dion Cools' mission remains unchanged and that is to represent with pride and inspire through performance. Yesterday, the rightback became the first Malaysian and South-East Asian footballer to launch his own limited-edition jersey in collaboration with global sportswear giant adidas. The unveiling at the adidas outlet in Sunway Pyramid was not just a fashion moment but it was a celebration of legacy. 'Football has given me an incredible platform to represent where I come from and what I stand for,' said Cools, who was born in Kuching before moving to Belgium, where his football journey took flight. 'This jersey is special to me because it includes patterns inspired by my birthplace, Sarawak. It's a proud moment.' The No. 21, emblazoned on the back, adds a personal touch, Cools' preferred number since his early professional days in Europe. Cools currently plays in Japan's top-tier J1 League with Cerezo Osaka and continues to be a key figure for Harimau Malaya on the international stage. Eligible to represent both countries, he chose the Malaysian badge and has been a regular fixture in the Malaysian national setup since 2021. Meanwhile, Cools has left it up to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and team management to decide on Harimau Malaya's involvement in any friendly matches this September. He said the national squad still had room to prepare for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers scheduled for in October. This follows Harimau Malaya's withdrawal from the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) Nations Cup in Tajikistan from Aug 29-Sept 8. 'I think it's bad news (withdrawing from the 2025 CAFA Cup), but at the same time the management have done its best. We have work to do for the Asian Cup qualifiers, and I think that's the most important thing for us. Previously, FAM had announced that Harimau Malaya's withdrawal was due to a change in match dates, with fixtures now starting outside the official international window set by FIFA, making it challenging for the national team, as clubs are not obliged to release their players.

adidas Megaride S2 Launches in Two New Colorways
Name:adidas Megaride S2Colorway:Core Black/Hi-Res Blue/Purple, Off White/Core Black/Matte SilverSKU:JR5743, JR0902MSRP:$160 USDRelease Date:July 21Where to Buy:adidas adidasjust relaunched a gem from its early-2000s archive with the reintroduction of theMegaride S2, a sneaker that blends performance-engineered cushioning with fashion-forward design. Reimagined with a modern twist, the silhouette revives the brand's original Adiprene cushion technology, once praised for its bounce-driven energy return, and repositions it for today's retro-sportwear revival and 'footballcore' wave. The Megaride S2 makes a bold impression from the start. A breathable mesh base layer sits underneath a molded rubber cage, which wraps the entire upper for both structure and standout aesthetics. Adding a futuristic edge, the sneaker includes a zip-up shroud that conceals the traditional lacing system — nodding to early 2000s performance design while doubling down on lifestyle appeal. Below, the signature Megaride half-unit midsole in the heel delivers cushioning and responsiveness, with a rubber outsole built for all-day traction and streetwear endurance. Depending on the model, subtle patent leather accents on the tongue and heel tab offer a sleek, glossy finish. Two initial colorways headline the re-release of the adidas Megaride S2. One standout pair arrives in a bold pink-to-purple gradient mesh encased in a glossy black net — a visual tribute to rave-era athletics and futuristic nostalgia. Meanwhile, the white pair takes a more understated approach, featuring an off white upper layered with subtle tonal variations. A metallic silver midsole anchors the design, adding a sleek finish that pulls the entire look together , allowing the sneaker's sculptural silhouette and material contrasts to take center stage. Both pairs retain adidas's performance DNA, seen in the overlasting forefoot construction and high-traction sole pattern, while inviting fashion-driven audiences to embrace the technical archive through a modern lens. The adidas Megaride S2 is available now for $160 USD, with a special-editionJAH JAHx adidas Megaride S2—first unveiled duringParis Fashion Week— also rumored for a Spring 2026 launch, hinting at a broader collaborative future for the silhouette.
