It’s less than three months before the Copa América kicks off in Brazil and the Gold Cup commences across the United States, so adidas is pulling out all the stops when it comes to some of the biggest teams in its stable. This week, adidas revealed the jerseys that Mexico, Argentina and Colombia will be wearing at the major international tournaments.
Yesterday, on International Women’s Day, adidas announced that any sponsored players on the Women’s World Cup-winning team would receive the same bonus pay given to their male counterparts.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the legendary adidas Predator cleats, the company is dropping a range of boots and apparel, including recreations of Zinedine Zidane’s ’98 Predator Accelerators and David Beckham’s ’01 Precision Predators.
I once wrote that MLS has the worst jerseys of any league in the world, and I’m not really willing to walk back on that statement.
The LA Galaxy unveiled its away jersey for the 2019 MLS season on Sunday night at an event in downtown LA, where thousands of Galaxy fans turned out to see the latest threads and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
After missing the playoffs for the second straight campaign in 2018, there’s cautious optimism for the Galaxy in 2019 with Zlatan announcing his return to go along with the appointment of former Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto as manager.
Some of these 2019 MLS kits are looking pretty tasty. Given the time constraints placed on FC Cincinnati after being announced as an expansion club last May, we think the new boys still pulled off an admirable look for Year One.

According to Footy Headlines, adidas is planning on celebrating the 25-year anniversary of the Predator cleat by releasing three limited-edition boots that give an updated look to the classics that became synonymous with David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
First up it’s the adidas Predator Accelerator ZZ — Icon 25 Year. This gold/white/red/navy cleat is, of course, the one favored by Zidane, and it’s looking pretty impressive in the update.
When the adidas Copa 19+ dropped back in November, it was a game changer. The world’s first-ever laceless leather boot revolutionized one of the most iconic cleats of all time, while the traditional aesthetic of the Copa Mundial boot was given a major facelift.
According to the latest reports, 10-year-old Barcelona phenom Michal Zuk has signed a brand ambassador contract with adidas.
