Out of Stock | Ipswich Town Forced To Release All-New Adidas Kit
Sep 13, 2015, by Chris
This is an actual kit fail. English Championship club Ipswich Town was forced to release a brand-new version of the orange Ipswich Town 14-15 Away Kit, which was intended to be used as third kit this season.
In May 2015, Adidas and Ipswich Town released the new Ipswich Town 2015-16 Home and Away Kits.
And while the Ipswich Town 15-16 Home Shirt features the iconic blue and white combination of the club, the Ipswich Town 15-16 Away Kit is inspired by the famous Barcelona Shirt featuring dark blue and dark red vertical stripes - the colors are quite similar to the home shirt, which makes the kit a bit pointless. It hasn't been used this season yet.
Ipswich Town 2015-2016 Third Kit
This is the new Adidas Ipswich Town 15-16 Third Shirt.
Based on the Adidas Toque 13 Teamwear Jersey, the new Ipswich Town 2015-16 Third Shirt combines the striking color orange with a remarkable design on the front. It has a black and silver sponsor logo on the front and is combined with last season's shorts and socks.
However, Ipswich Town already released an orange kit last season. Based on the Adidas Condivo 14 template, the Adidas Ipswich Town 2014-15 Away Kit was registered as third kit for the 2015-16 English Championship season. So what went wrong? Here is the club statement.
A lack of remaining 2014/15 orange shirts in pro stock (not enough to start a season with) combined with strong sales from last season means there is no available stock within the retail department. Adidas have ceased manufacturing last season’s shirt, so have instead supplied the Club with an alternative orange top to fall in line with the third kit colour Town registered with the Football League prior to the season starting.
But the story even continues. Ipswich's fans who like the new orange Ipswich Town 2015-16 Third Strip are not able to buy the shirt which is "supplied for the first-team only" as there is a clause in Ipswich's contract with Adidas that prevents this.

SC Fortuna Köln and Dutch sportswear brand Robey have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season.

Liga between 2013 and 2020.
This launch follows the release of a special-edition Robey kit for the 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final earlier in the year. That exclusive jersey featured a tri-color gradient, fading from navy blue to light blue and finishing with a white lower half. It also included metallic gold accents on the manufacturer branding, the central sponsor, and a classic retro crest.

AFC Wimbledon 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
AFC Wimbledon and Lotto have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season. The releases celebrate both the club's traditional identity and its rich local history, with both shirts available to purchase from July 4.
The Lotto AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home shirt introduces a bespoke look in the traditional colors of blue and yellow. Described as blue quartz, the deep and rich base is trimmed in yellow that runs through the collar and cuffs. A standout feature of the design is the extensive use of the famous Lotto logo, which is woven throughout the fabric in a bold repeat pattern.
For the away kit, Lotto and AFC Wimbledon have opted for a striking red and yellow design that pays tribute to the colors worn on the day of their promotion to the top flight on May 3, 1986. The shirt's jacquard fabric is based on the classic Lotto kit worn between 1997 and 1999, featuring a star motif. Additionally, a yellow star on the back honors the Wimbledon Dons, the legendary local speedway team who won seven British championships and were a fixture of Wimbledon life for 77 years.
Machida Zelvia 26-27 Away Kit Revealed
Following the launch of their home kit in early June, J1 League side Machida Zelvia have officially revealed their new Adidas away and goalkeeper kits for the 2026-27 season.

The shirt debuted on the pitch on July 3, 2026, and is available for purchase through the club's official physical and online stores until stock runs out.
Doncaster Rovers 26-27 Away Kit Released
The new Doncaster Rovers 26-27 away kit has been officially released, produced by Oxen Sports for the upcoming League One campaign. Celebrating the city's rich engineering heritage, the design is heavily inspired by the iconic Mallard locomotive, paying tribute to the famous Made in Doncaster train. The shirt features a unique color palette drawing directly from the historic steam engine, and as a special nod to its railway theme, the kit even includes a bespoke train ticket swing tag.
Eintracht Braunschweig 26-27 Home Kit Released
Eintracht Braunschweig has officially unveiled its new 2026-27 home kit, produced by Umbro. The launch was accompanied by the slogan 'Auf der Haut. Unter der Haut.' (On the skin. Under the skin.), highlighting the deep connection between the club and its supporters.
The Umbro Eintracht Braunschweig 2026-27 home jersey features the club's traditional blue and yellow colors. A notable design element is the inclusion of lion motifs across the shirt, paying tribute to the club's nickname, "Die Löwen" (The Lions), and creating a bespoke look for the 2. Bundesliga side.
The Eintracht Braunschweig 2026-27 home kit is available to purchase now through the club's official online shop and physical stores.

AFC Wimbledon 26-27 Home Kit Released
The new AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit was officially released today. Made by Lotto, the new kit features the club's traditional colors and will be available to purchase from July 4.
The Lotto AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home shirt introduces a bespoke look in blue and yellow. The standout feature of the design is the extensive use of the Lotto logo, which is repeated continuously around the collar and the sleeve cuffs.
This repeated logo detailing on the collar and cuffs gives the shirt a distinct retro feel, but it breaks standard equipment regulations for European competitions. Due to the excessive branding, the AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit would not be allowed to be worn in UEFA competitions, but EFL apparently allowed it.
