Manchester United's Adidas 26-27 Third Kit Goes on Sale Today

Adidas has put Manchester United's 26-27 third kit on sale today: an off-white shirt with dark green and maroon accents, a Lancashire rose pattern nodding to the Salford Lads Club, and an icon-only Snapdragon logo. We flagged this one as coming on August 14 last week; now it is actually in the shop. If the rose detailing lands with you, today is the day to grab it.

Sunderland's Hummel 26-27 Third Kit Lands Today With a Stained-Glass Design

Hummel's Sunderland 26-27 third kit goes on sale today too: a deep blue shirt with a tonal stained-glass graphic and metallic copper on a retro crest, a nod to the city's glassmaking heritage and Monkwearmouth's St Peter's Church. The launch bundles a matching varsity jacket and a pre-match warm-up range. It arrives after the home kit landed August 1 with a collector-flagged stripe alignment flaw, so give the seams a close look before you buy.

Under the Radar

Ranked 10th of 25 in r/SoccerJerseys' top-of-day sort for August 13; the scarcity is corroborated by 2022 production-timeline reporting from Footy Headlines.

r/SoccerJerseys Surfaces a Sponsorless Barcelona 2022-23 Home Shirt

A collector surfaced a new-with-tags, authentic Barcelona 2022-23 Nike home shirt with no Spotify sponsor logo, and other Barca fans in the thread agreed the sponsorless version is genuinely hard to find. The gap exists because Barcelona's Spotify deal was announced in March 2022, after Nike had already begun producing the 2022-23 kits, so early-production and non-European-market shirts shipped clean. If you own one, you own a scarcer variant than the standard sponsored run.

Darren Rovell Says 1989 Upper Deck Griffey PSA 10s Are Approaching $6,000

1989 Upper Deck Griffey PSA 10s, of which there are 4,249 of, are approaching $6,000.

The 1989 Upper Deck Griffey Star Rookie is the junk-wax era's signature card, so a PSA 10 pushing toward $6,000 gets collectors reaching for their own copies. Rovell's chart shows a two-year median near $2,283 and a last sale of $5,800, the high end of where this card has traded.

433 says PSG have agreed a deal for Ferran Torres, with Mika Godts framed as likely next, which matters for shirt hunters eyeing an already stacked Paris attack. It continues the PSG-Godts thread we covered when a reported bid topped 40 million euros for the Ajax winger.
