LeBron's first Sixers jerseys sell out on Fanatics in two hours

The first No. 23 Sixers jerseys sold out about two hours after the signing, and Topps' first LeBron 76ers card reportedly cleared 100,000 copies the same day.

LeBron James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Fanatics sold out its first-edition No. 23 Sixers Nike Swingman jerseys ($124.99) about two hours after the announcement. If you missed the first run, youth and adult Jordan Brand Fast Break jerseys were still up for preorder at $69.99 to $79.99 in limited numbers, with Mitchell & Ness taking preorders on graphic tees and sweatshirts and Rally House warning that in-store Philadelphia stock would take longer to land. On the card side, Topps' first LeBron 76ers card (from $11.99) reportedly passed 100,000 copies sold within hours, a threshold Topps says unlocked a one-of-one SuperFractor.

Newcastle United unveil their retro-leaning 2026-27 Adidas away kit

Newcastle United unveiled its 2026-27 Adidas away kit on July 24: a Night Navy base with white and Vista Blue accents, the Adidas Trefoil, the classic 1976-1983 crest, and a brickwork pattern that nods to St James' Park. It sits inside a wider retro-leaning away collection and goes on sale late July, so this is a buy-now drop rather than one to watch.
