Classy Puma BAPE FC Kits Revealed
Jan 1, 2016, by Chris
What if BAPE would establish a football club? While the Japanese clothing brand is far away from founding an official club, Puma has nevertheless created a complete soccer collection boasting the trademark design of A Bathing Ape. For the first time, we decided to pick the most interesting and important piece of the collection, the official FC BAPE Kit (if you are interested to see the complete collection, let us know in the comments under the article).
Puma FC BAPE Replica Shirt
This is the ABC Camo version of Puma's Kit for BAPE.
Boasting the trademark design of the Japanese fashion brand, the Puma FC BAPE Jersey comes with an one-of-a-kind look that stands in contrast to the kits of traditional football clubs, whose shirts rather feature classic designs.
On the front of the new Puma FC BAPE Shirt is not only the famous Puma branding and the classy black, white and golden logo Puma created for BAPE.FC, but also the names of the official websites of both brands. On the back under the modern Puma FC BAPE Replica Jersey is again the BAPE.FC logo.
Puma released two version of the first-ever BAPE Kit. The first shirt boasts a military green camo look, while the second jersey comes with a more understated grey and olive green color scheme.
However, while Puma's FC BAPE kit is not only more extraordinary than usual football kits, it also comes with a much higher price tag (100 GBP, 120 USD, 120 Euro) than the shirts of renowned international clubs such as FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Madrid (~ 85 Euro).

Melbourne Victory 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Melbourne Victory has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch marks the club's first matchwear collection produced under their new four-year technical partnership with Melbourne-based streetwear and activewear brand Elite Eleven.
The 26-27 home kit delivers a timeless look grounded in the club's traditional colours. It features a deep navy base accented by the iconic white Big V across the chest, complemented by white piping along the crew neck collar and raglan sleeve seams. Elite Eleven's signature logo sits centrally above the chevron, with Turkish Airlines remaining as the primary shirt sponsor.
In contrast to the classic home design, the Melbourne Victory 26-27 away jersey introduces a vibrant and modern aesthetic. It uses a bright neon fluro base paired with a large navy chevron and matching navy panels running along the shoulders and sides. Both shirts are available immediately for purchase through the club's official store.
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
Cerro Porteño 2026 Anniversary Kit Released
Paraguayan powerhouse Cerro Porteño and Puma have officially unveiled a special anniversary kit celebrating the club's 114th birthday. Founded on October 1, 1912, "El Ciclón" marks the milestone with a limited-edition design that also represents the end of an era, serving as Puma's final kit for the club ahead of a switch to Diadora in 2027.
The Puma Cerro Porteño 2026 anniversary jersey embraces a distinctive late-1990s retro aesthetic. It features a deep navy base complemented by a bold vertical red stripe running down the center, accented with white piping along the sleeves and side seams. A classic fold-over collar with white trim frames the neckline, while an enlarged retro CP monogram watermark is embossed across the lower torso. The jersey is completed by a traditional shield crest on the left chest and a clean, sponsor-free front.
Produced in strictly limited quantities, the collector's shirt is available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, bringing a stylish close to Puma's seven-year partnership with Cerro Porteño that began in 2020.
