Nike Consider Keeping Home Kits for 2 Seasons
Jun 22, 2022, by Chris
Nike could make an important change for the football kit industry, info from PSG kit insiders @lasource75006 suggests.
Nike "Are Seriously Considering Offering a Home Kit For Two Years"
Nike's nine elite teams get a new bespoke home kit every season, just as almost all teams in football currently.
Nike "are seriously considering offering a home jersey for several clubs including PSG, which would be worn for 2 years", according to @lasource75006.
Teams had been keeping their home kits for several years until the 1990s/early 2000s
It has been common for football teams to keep their jerseys for several years until the 1990s. Since then, teams started to release three new kits every year. Nike were surely a trendsetter of yearly kit releases back then.
There would be several advantages if teams would release no new home kit every year, and of course, also disadvantages.
It would be a good step from an ecological point of view
Advantages include the ecological point of view as well as the wallet of fans. Disadvantages include that teams might wear an unpopular home kit for two years and that brands/teams could make less money.
Recently, several smaller teams announced that they will carry over kits for the next season, including Brentford and Hull City.
US teams change uniforms much less often
In the US, sports teams change the design of their jerseys as well but not nearly as regular as it is in soccer. For example, most NFL teams keep their uniforms for several years.
Would you like teams to keep their home kit for more than just a year? Comment below.
Melbourne Victory 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Melbourne Victory has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch marks the club's first matchwear collection produced under their new four-year technical partnership with Melbourne-based streetwear and activewear brand Elite Eleven.
The 26-27 home kit delivers a timeless look grounded in the club's traditional colours. It features a deep navy base accented by the iconic white Big V across the chest, complemented by white piping along the crew neck collar and raglan sleeve seams. Elite Eleven's signature logo sits centrally above the chevron, with Turkish Airlines remaining as the primary shirt sponsor.
In contrast to the classic home design, the Melbourne Victory 26-27 away jersey introduces a vibrant and modern aesthetic. It uses a bright neon fluro base paired with a large navy chevron and matching navy panels running along the shoulders and sides. Both shirts are available immediately for purchase through the club's official store.
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
Cerro Porteño 2026 Anniversary Kit Released
Paraguayan powerhouse Cerro Porteño and Puma have officially unveiled a special anniversary kit celebrating the club's 114th birthday. Founded on October 1, 1912, "El Ciclón" marks the milestone with a limited-edition design that also represents the end of an era, serving as Puma's final kit for the club ahead of a switch to Diadora in 2027.
The Puma Cerro Porteño 2026 anniversary jersey embraces a distinctive late-1990s retro aesthetic. It features a deep navy base complemented by a bold vertical red stripe running down the center, accented with white piping along the sleeves and side seams. A classic fold-over collar with white trim frames the neckline, while an enlarged retro CP monogram watermark is embossed across the lower torso. The jersey is completed by a traditional shield crest on the left chest and a clean, sponsor-free front.
Produced in strictly limited quantities, the collector's shirt is available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, bringing a stylish close to Puma's seven-year partnership with Cerro Porteño that began in 2020.
