A couple of days after Spanish site Sport.es reported that they had received exclusive mock-ups of the fairly hideous designs for Barcelona's new kits for next season (above), designs which look suspiciously like they may have been drawn up using the colour fade tool on Corel Draw 3.

So here's a hot topic for you guys: as I was preparing for today's TTB (which is going to be daily again from now on) I saw this little tweet from Merritt Paulson:

Finalized 2013 kits today-tough as I like current so much. Pleased still. Hopefully no leaks; if so,at least decent image unlike past leaks

So we now know that we will get a refreshed primary and secondary kit in 2013, but more than that we know that it's different enough that owner Merritt Paulson put special emphasis on his love of the current ones in his tweet meaning that there's a reasonable assumption we could see some fairly big changes.

Torres gets vote of confidence, Kenny won't speculate

SLEIGH-BELLS, tinsel, flashing bulbs, mistletoe, massive queues at the bar and bedlam on the car parks. Yes, it's nearly another transfer window. This time last year Fernando Torres was yet to really become the talk of the window although this time last year Roy Hodgson was still Liverpool boss.

AVB craziness Last time Chelsea had a Portuguese manager there was usually a whirlwind of conspiracy theories and paranoia swirling around. But with Jose Mourinho at the helm it was usually created for the benefit of the club. Under Andre Villas Boas it seems the manager himself is the biggest victim.

NO ONE has questioned his drive and intensity.

Football-Shirts leaks what appears to be this season's third kit. Eh.

As with this year's away, I was initially impressed but am now indifferent. It's clean, which is a plus, yet could have been so much more. I feel as if this colorway could have been used in a much more innovative fashion.

Every year, around this time of year or so, EA Sports has been releasing the latest FIFA edition's trailer. The upcoming FIFA 12 looks to have some of the biggest gameplay changes we'll see yet. With additions like precision dribbling and the player impact engine, along with revamped defending and matchday presentation, this looks to be an extraordinary game.

Tomorrow is the day of the FIFA ethics committee meeting, and its rulings will have significant implications on the governance of world soccer and especially that of the CONCACAF region.

Which is precisely why this free kick somewhere in the general North American region is so damn effective.

No, not a soul on the planet has any idea what is going on. At first look, it seems some odd onside kick routine the American football field does wonders to push the theories in this direction but then collisions happen, someone leaks into the box and everybody is distracted into allowing him a free look on goal.

Football Fashion does not publish kit leaks unless they appear to be completely credible. Such is the case with images that we received this morning of what appears to be the Everton le coq sportif 2011/12 home jersey. Here are the pictures. We'll have full coverage of the Everton FC le coq sportif 2011/12 home [.

LIVERPOOL, England —Chelsea has agreed a fee with Liverpool to sign Fernando Torres in what could be British football's most expensive transfer. A Liverpool statement says the Spain striker "has now been given permission to speak to the London club." British media say Chelsea will pay about 50 million pounds ($79.

As the venerable Paul Scholes remains undecided as to whether his sainted, 36-year-old legs have another year at the top left in them, a fellow member of Manchester United's veteran old guard has broken ranks and revealed that he intends to call time on his career at the end of the current season.

The North American Soccer League's attempt to become the sole proprietors of second division soccer in the United States and Canada took a hard right into a telephone pole today. Brian Quarstad of Inside Minnesota Soccer is reporting that the NASL's application has been rejected by US Soccer, presumably due to the inability of several clubs to meet new standards imposed after last year's NASL-USL forced marriage.

With the new year comes new leaks. Thanks to the chaos of the transfer market and all the drama and speculation that comes along with it, pictures for next seasons jerseys have leaked seemingly unnoticed. Thanks to these leaks, we got a preview of what Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal's 2011-2012 jersey's might look like [.

I have a pet hate when it comes to Harry Redknapp and that's his inability to keep his mouth shut. However, I'm not stupid enough to assume everything he says are his own opinions, especially when it comes to player signings. I may be completely wrong but judging by the odd comment here and there about what he's allowed to say and what he's not I think it's safe to assume someone within the club briefs him regularly.
