Ridiculous - LASK Linz 19-20 UEFA Kits Bypass UEFA Kit Rules With 'Clever' Trick
Update: LSKA Linz has reached the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League 2019-20 season where they will face English giants Manchester United. Now reports from Austria suggest that the club is also planning to release ski equipment.
According to Austrian newspaper Krone, "LSKA has now acquired a taste for it and is considering the production of ski equipment in addition to the existing range."
Already in May 2019, we reported about the pretty insane kits of Austrian vice champion LASK (Linzer Athletik-Sport-Klub). Now, just in time for the start of the UEFA Champions League play-off, LASK presented a complete set of Champions League jerseys for the first time in the club's history.
The reason for Linz to release special international jerseys is that their usual kits are not allowed due to UEFA's kit rules (they feature pinkish sleeves because of the sponsor BWT). However, that is not all. The kits are made by sponsor BWT (Best Water Technology, an Austrian manufacturer of water treatment systems - they started with a new equipment line for the kit to bypass UEFA rules.
