Kit Clashes Dominate Premier League and La Liga Top Matches
Sep 12, 2015, by Pat
Kit color clashes are one of the needless things in football, and yet they happen again and again. Today's football schedule brought us a number of great matches and funnily a number of them had one thing in common.
Unnecessary short color clashes in the two Premier League top games between Everton and Chelsea and Manchester United and Liverpool were even surpassed by the Atlético Madrid against Barcelona match.
Dark Red / Dark Blue vs Dark Red | Atlético v Barceona
Messi scores the 2-1 against Atlético. But why didn't Barcelona pack their away kit?
Atlético played in their usual home outfit, which features a solid red back and a darker shade of the color than usual, making it incredibly difficult to tell the two sides apart as Barcelona also played in their blaugrana home kit; we feel with you, stream viewers.
Leo Messi didn't care a lot as he scored the winner in a 30-minute cameo, although the clash could've easily been prevented had Nike released the upcoming Barcelona 15-16 third kit earlier. Everything indicates that Barcelona will premiere the turquoise 'decept' jersey next week at AS Roma, and it would've been a perfect fit for today's Vicente Calderón visit.
Social media was full of comments about the preventable kit clash between Atlético and Barcelona, ranging from mockery to plain disappointment.
So often teams wear away kits when it's unnecessary. Today, when you would say it's necessary Barcelona are wearing their home kit. Strange.

What do you think about color clashes, especially partly short or sock color clashes as often experienced in the Premier League? Would the Barcelona away kit have been a better choice for the match today? Let us know in the comments below.

Based on leaked image from @lasource75006, our partner @whatthekit_x created a mockup of Matvey Safonov wearing the Jordan PSG 2026-27 third goalkeeper kit, inspiration from the distinctive Nike template worn by Lama during the 1997-98 season. It features a vibrant red base with sharp black vertical stripes tapering upward from the lower hem.
FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.
Sam Kerr Debuts Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Signature Boots
Sam Kerr has officially given her new Nike Mercurial signature boots their on-pitch debut, stepping out for Gotham FC in the vibrant design. Following Nike's official launch of the pair on September 21, 2026, the Australian forward wasted no time lacing them up for competitive action. Kerr took to the pitch wearing her preferred low-cut iteration of the silhouette, continuing her longstanding preference for low collars over the high dynamic fit collar.
This boot follows Kerr's debut signature Mercurial from 2025, which took inspiration from the coastal beaches of her hometown Perth.
Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
