Class act. English Championship club Bolton Wanderers today revealed a special limited edition third shirt to mark the 70th anniversary of the Burnden Disaster. The new Bolton Wanderers 15-16 Third Shirt features the name of the 33 individuals who lost their lives in the Burnden Disaster.
The Burnden Disaster was a human crush that occurred on 9 March 1946 at Burnden Park football stadium. The crush resulted in the deaths of 33 people and was the deadliest stadium disaster in British history until the Ibrox Park disaster in 1971.
Bolton Wanderers 15-16 Third Kit
This is the new limited edition Bolton Wanderers 2015-16 Third Shirt.
The new Bolton Wanderers 2015-16 Third Shirt features a classy design with royal blue and navy hoops with white applications. It has a classic collar with white trim and white sleeve cuffs.
The Bolton Wanderers 2015-16 Third Shirt will remain without a sponsor as kit sponsor ROK Mobile waives their rights to be on the front of the shirts. But it's all about the details to remember the 70th Anniversary of the Burnden Disaster.
On the back of the collar is the date of the Disaster (09-03-1946), while the Lancashire red rose is located on the neckline. The limited edition Bolton Wanderers 2015-16 Third Shirt features the names of 33 individuals who lost their lives in the Burnden Disaster in March 1946 on the front and the back.
A limited number of 1,000 shirts will be available to purchase, and Bolton Wanderers will donate £10 from each sale of the shirt, which is prized at £44.99 and sold in a special box.
The Club’s Head of Commercial, Richard Gough, said: “Our thanks go to Macron for creating what we hope supporters will agree is a fitting tribute to the 33 who lost their lives in the disaster. We had such incredible support from our fans last season with sales of the Blesma shirt raising £10,000 for our limbless veterans and hope that this shirt will sell in equal numbers, raising much needed funds for an exceptionally good local cause.”
Classy design to remember a sad event in the history of English football. What do you think of the Bolton Wanderers 15-16 Third Shirt? Let us know in the comments section below.
Adidas x Poland
We finally got the first detailed information about the return of the Three Stripes to Poland. More very soon.
Giant Adidas Three Stripes on Long-Sleeve Kits Overwhelm Aesthetic
Adidas introduced enlarged Three Stripes across its performance templates ahead of the 2026 World Cup, rolling the look out across club teams for the 26-27 season. Designed to maximize on-pitch brand visibility, the wider striping measures around 18mm across. However, its competitive rollout has drawn criticism from kit enthusiasts and fans who feel the oversized proportions overwhelm the aesthetic balance of modern kits.
The visual disruption is especially noticeable on long-sleeved shirts. When worn on the pitch by players like Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, the thick white stripes command the shoulders and arms, dwarfing surrounding elements like the collar and sleeve patches. While short-sleeved shirts offer breaks in coverage, the continuous run of oversized stripes down full-length sleeves makes the branding feel excessively dominant.
Despite the pushback, Adidas will retain this oversized stripe template through at least the 27-28 campaign.
SK Brann 2026 Third Kit Released
Norwegian club SK Brann and Nike have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026 season, paying tribute to the club's historic 1976 Norwegian Cup-winning side on its 50th anniversary.
The jersey is predominantly white, highlighted by red vertical striping running down the right chest behind the red Nike Swoosh, red sponsor branding, and a monochrome red club crest. Debuted on pitch during their Eliteserien away clash against Sandefjord, the new release completes Brann's 2026 kit collection alongside their previously launched home and away shirts.
Rochdale AFC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Rochdale AFC and Irish kit manufacturer O'Neills have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The shirt features a vibrant yellow base adorned with an all-over wave graphic inspired by the local River Roch. It is framed by bold black accents on the v-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels, while a centrally stacked monochrome Rochdale crest, O'Neills logo, and Crown Oil sponsor complete the look.
CD Nacional 26-27 Away Kit Released
Portuguese Primeira Liga club CD Nacional has officially unveiled its new away kit for the 26-27 season, designed by Italian brand Kappa. The Madeira-based side completes their lineup for the campaign with an eye-catching, refined colorway.
The Kappa CD Nacional 2026-27 away shirt is predominantly golden, accented with subtle white vertical pinstripes running down the front and back. The jersey features a classic polo collar trimmed in white, detailed with the club's founding year, 1910, placed in the neckline insert. Both the Kappa Omini logo and the CD Nacional crest are centered on the chest in white and gold, above the white Coral Cerveja sponsor print.
PSM Makassar 26-27 Home Kit Released
