Apr 21, 2016, by Chris
English Championship club Queens Park Rangers today announced that Dryworld will become their new kit supplier from the 2016-17 season, replacing current shirt supplier Nike. The new QPR kit deal is Dryworld's first step, part of Dryworld's UK and Europe expansion over the next few seasons.
Dryworld Becomes New QPR Kit Supplier
Dryworld, who are very new in the world of football and are currently kitting out Brazilian teams Atlético Mineiro, Fluminense and Goias, will make the new Queens Park Rangers from this summer for 10 years until at least 2027. QPR also announced that the new kit deal is a 'multi-million pound eight figure deal', while no other contract details were disclosed yet.
QPR's Commercial Director, Euan Inglis, told www.qpr.co.uk: "We are delighted to partner with DRYWORLD. This is a new and exciting partnership for both ourselves and DRYWORLD and we're really looking forward to working alongside their team over the coming years.
"The financial aspects of any commercial partnership are obviously important, but the priority for the club with this particular agreement was to have complete autonomy over our kits, so that we could ensure bespoke designs, which meet the core principles that we know are of paramount importance to our supporters."
CEO Lee Hoos believes Rangers fans will be delighted with the new designs, adding: "The kits for next season are fantastic and we're very confident the fans will be happy with them. We're fully aware of what the fans want, with the Hoops going all the way round, and we're excited about unveiling them at the end of June."
Craig Stewart, DRYWORLD's Director of Global Operations, is equally excited about the partnership with QPR, commenting: "We are delighted to partner with a team with the reputation and heritage of QPR. When we identified potential partnerships, QPR stood out because of the core values and principles it imbues, whilst sharing in both the on-field and off-field ambitions that we as a brand wish to support.
"We look forward to supporting the club's on-field performance with our groundbreaking and pioneering technologies in the years ahead."

EA7 Napoli 26-27 Euro Third Kit Released
SSC Napoli and EA7 have officially unveiled their new Euro third kit for the 26-27 season. Designed specifically for the club's European campaign, the shirt introduces a refined color scheme combining a Dark Navy (almost black) base with Gold Sahara Sun detailing, honoring the club's centenary celebrations.
The standout feature of the jersey is a large, tone-on-tone depiction of the Corsiero del Sole (Steed of the Sun) integrated across the fabric of the torso. The historic rampant horse served as Napoli's original club emblem upon its founding in 1926 and has been revived as a central piece of the club's 100-year visual identity. Gold finishes complete the monochrome club crest, the EA7 logo, and the central MSC sponsor print.
Additional centenary touches include the special "ceNto" logo printed inside the collar and the word "Partenopei" placed on the back of the neck. The player-issue shirt also integrates an Authentic patch with NFC technology to give fans access to exclusive digital content. This navy and gold Euro shirt is distinct from the red domestic third strip introduced earlier in the campaign and became available via Napoli's official channels on October 2, 2026.
Racing Santander 26-27 Third Kit Released
Spanish club Real Racing Club de Santander has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 season. Designed and produced by local Cantabrian sports brand Austral, the new strip brings back a stealthy black look accented with the club's signature green detailing.
The Austral Racing Santander 26-27 third jersey has a predominantly black base adorned with a tonal graphic pattern inspired by the lábaro cántabro, rendered in varying intensities across the front. Vivid green accents trim the collar, sleeve cuffs, and lower hem, while the sponsors and Austral logo appear in crisp white alongside the full-color club crest. Green shorts and black socks with green turnovers complete the uniform.
As a special tribute to the fanbase, the interior of the shirt is sublimated with the names of all 18,804 club season ticket holders for the 26-27 campaign. The kit debuted with a limited initial release of 500 units on the club's online store before rolling out to the physical shop at El Sardinero.
Giugliano 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian Serie C club Giugliano Calcio 1928 and technical partner Legea have officially unveiled their new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. The Campania-based club, nicknamed the Tigrotti, continue their collaboration with the domestic sportswear brand for the upcoming league campaign.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 home shirt embraces the club's traditional gialloblù identity with a classic horizontal striped design. Bold blue hoops run across the bright yellow torso, complemented by solid yellow sleeves, subtle blue trim on the cuffs, and a matching crew collar. The chest features the club's tiger crest alongside Legea branding and local principal sponsor graphics.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 away shirt delivers an ornate design inspired by local classical architecture. Set on an off-white base, the jersey showcases subtle fresco-style illustrations in warm sand tones, highlighted by classical columns, intricate motifs, and the Roman numerals MCMXXVIII honoring the club's founding year of 1928. Matching sand-colored trim on the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs rounds off the look.
Austria Lustenau Release Special-Edition 26-27 "Vintage" Kit
Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
