šØ Sunderland release their new 2026-27 away kit - the first ever Elvis Presley collab kit in the Premier League - and in some style too.
ā Incredible video.
ā Beautiful kit.
ā Unbelievable tribute to Elvis, the #SAFC fans and 50 years of āCanāt Help Falling in Love with Youā at Sunderland.
š Top work from everyone at the club to make this happen.
@andysixsmithtv I came from the US this season to witness Sunderland live for the first time. The passion of the fans is unbelievable and truly spectacular!
What I want to know:
What does it mean to (RLB) to have such a fantastic base of supporters & what do you need from them this weekend?
I get it - we arenāt playing in top flight of U.S. Soccer pyramid. But we are a part of Pittsburgh pro sports, and given what the entire @RiverhoundsSC club & community has accomplished in recent years, itās about time the cityās media recognized that
Thomas the Tank Engine train sim game is going viral after releasing on March 17
'Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor' is already among Steam's top sellers
To any young kid reading thisā¦
Iāve doubted myself in every league Iāve ever played in.
Ryman Prem.
Conference South.
League Two.
League One.
Championshipā¦
And even right before my first Premier League start last night.
Thatās not weakness.
Thatās being human.
Thatās being alive.
When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman.
Like they never felt doubt.
Like they never felt nerves.
The truth isā¦. itās often the opposite.
Social media wonāt tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. Thatās normal. Thatās ok!
You now have to then step out there with courage.
Confidence feels good.
Courage doesnāt.
But you do it anyway. Show courage enough timesā¦. You build confidence.
Hereās the mindset thatās carried me for 31 years.
When it goes well:
I worked for it.
I earned it.
Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
When it doesnāt:
I know I prepared the best I could.
It didnāt go exactly to plan. Thatās football.
But Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night.
Leading the team out.
Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball.
Celebrates tackles.
Gives everything for the city of Sunderland.
And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One.
So if youāre a young player feeling doubtā¦
Low confidenceā¦
Or like you donāt believe in yourselfā¦
Youāre not alone.
Every player feels it.
Confidence isnāt something youāre given.
Itās something you build.
Bit by bit.
Day by day.
With courage.
With work.
With learning.
Anything worth building takes time.
But thatās what makes it so worthwhile!
Thank you @SunderlandAFC ā¤ļøš¤
