Galatasaray 24-25 Special Kit Goes Down in History as the Kit With the Least Minutes Worn Ever
- Galatasaray's New Kit: The Puma Galatasaray 24-25 special kit debuted in a match that was abandoned after 34 minutes.
- Potential Record: Due to the early abandonment, the kit could become the one worn for the fewest minutes in history.
- Historical Context: The Manchester United 1995-96 grey away kit was famously switched at half-time due to visibility issues, but was worn for more games than this one.
Yesterday's match between Galatasaray and Adana Demirspor ended after 34 minutes of play after Adana Demirspor decided to 'walk out' in protest at refereeing decisions. This means that the Puma Galatasaray 24-25 special kit, which debuted in the match, could become the kit worn for the fewest minutes in history.
Galatasaray 24-25 Special Kit Worn for Just Over 30 Minutes
Galatasaray debuted the special 24-25 blackout kit in yesterday's match against Adana Demirspor. They took a 1-0 lead after Morata scored a penalty in the 12th minute. The two teams played until the 34th minute when Adana Demirspor's players walked off the pitch in protest at the referee's decision.
Worn for just 34 minutes, the Galatasaray 24-25 special kit could go down as the least worn kit in history.
A famous kit worn for only one half is the grey Manchester United 1995-96 away kit. However, Manchester United had already worn the kit in four full matches before (corrected info, thanks to everyone for making us aware of our mistake).
Sir Alex Ferguson later explained that the players felt they could not see each other clearly on the pitch from a distance because their shirts blended with the colors of the supporters. The grey away kit was never worn again after that match. However, the half-time change came at a price for Manchester United. They were fined £10,000 by the FA for breaching kit regulations, which Ferguson later described as "the best £10,000 I ever spent".
However, the use of football shirts in previous decades is not always well documented, so there may be other examples of football shirts being worn for very short periods of time.
