"Respect Our History": Parma Ultras Protest New Black & Pink Third Kit With Stadium Tifo
1 hour ago, by Chris
- Protest Against New Third Kit: Parma supporters explicitly protested the club's new black and pink 26-27 third kit during a Serie A match against Monza.
- Untraditional Design: The new kit, featuring an all-black base with neon coral-pink accents, was deemed untraditional and a departure from the club's historical colors and identity.
- Tifo and Banners Displayed: Fans displayed a tifo with banners reading "Respect Our History" and showcased classic Parma shirts to directly contrast and reject the new black-and-pink design.
Parma supporters made their feelings regarding the club's newly launched 26-27 third kit unmistakably clear, staging an explicit tifo protest ahead of their Serie A match against Monza at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. Unveiled by Puma just days earlier and unfittingly debuted at home, the strip features an all-black base paired with vibrant neon coral-pink accents.
The untraditional kit was worn at home - something Italian teams love to do, but which is forbidden in some leagues
Parma Fans With Two Banners Against Kit
Ahead of kick-off, the Curva Nord unfurled a prominent banner across the stand reading: "La maglia del Parma simbolo di passione, amore e gloria, rispettate la nostra storia" (The Parma shirt is a symbol of passion, love, and glory, respect our history). Above the banner, fans displayed several classic Parma shirts honoring the club's iconic black cross and gialloblu stripes, directly contrasting them with a large graphic of the new black-and-pink third jersey stamped with an emphatic red X.
The demonstration was echoed across supporter groups with the clear message that "this shirt does not belong to us."
SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 Third Kit Released - 25th Anniversary Design
Belgian side SV Zulte Waregem and kit supplier Patrick have officially released their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Celebrating the club's silver jubilee marking 25 years since their formation in 2001, Essevee swap out their traditional red, green, and white colours for an understated black and silver look dubbed "Memories worth a touch of silver."
The Patrick SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 third jersey features a black base detailed with thin vertical silver pinstripes down the front. A closer inspection reveals that the pinstripes incorporate handwritten script documenting key milestones and dates throughout the club's history, highlighting achievements such as their inaugural 2001-02 title and their memorable 2012-13 campaign as league runners-up.
Completing the anniversary aesthetic, the jersey is finished with a silver V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. All branding—including the monochrome SV Zulte Waregem club crest, Patrick maker's marks, and primary sponsors iDocta and Elindus—appears in silver and white to match the unified commemorative design.
Napoli Wears Last Season's Shorts Against Inter - Here Is Why
In their Serie A clash against Inter at San Siro, SSC Napoli caught the attention of eagle-eyed Napoli kit expert @TutelaMagliaNA. For the 26-27 centenary season, EA7 designed two distinct pairs of white shorts: the home shorts carry the club's special centenary crest, while the away version features an alternate Mount Vesuvius-themed logo. Because the red jersey used the standard circular Napoli crest, pairing it with either of the 26-27 white shorts would have caused a clash of emblems on the same uniform.
Rather than producing a third set of white change shorts solely to carry the standard badge, Napoli simply reused their plain white match shorts from 25-26.
Benjamin Sesko’s Sleeve Badge Error
While all other Manchester United players took the pitch with league badges on both sleeves, Benjamin Šeško was spotted as the only one missing the patch on his left arm for reasons unknown.
