Jun 29, 2017, by Chris
AFC Wimbledon this week announced that they have signed a new kit supplier contract with Puma. Puma replaces previous shirt supplier Admiral Sports, who became the club's kit maker in 2014.
AFC Wimbledon To Launch Only New Puma Third Kit For 2017-18 Season
AFC Wimbledon will keep their Admiral 16-17 home & away kits in the 2017-18 season.
In support of the kit lifecycle commitment made in the Club's Fans Charter, the deal will first only introduce a new Puma third kit, Training and Bench Wear from the start of the 2017-18 season, alongside the Club's current 2016-17 home and away kits. The club will launch a full Puma range for the 2018-19 season.
AFC Wimbledon was founded by Wimbledon FC supporters in June 2002 as a direct reaction to the decision by an independent commission appointed by the Football Association to allow Wimbledon F.C. to relocate to Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
AFC Wimbledon Commercial Director, Ivor Heller, announced details of the product launch event as part of the new Puma agreement, "I have been really impressed with the transition to Puma. We are now part of a worldwide family and we have been made to feel very welcome.
"The quality of the new training wear and third kit is exceptional. I look forward to revealing all of it at our Kit Launch-Meet the Manager event on Friday the 7th of July at 7.30 pm. I am sure the middle bar at the Cherry Red Records Stadium will be rather busy after this news.''
Ruth How, Head of UK Marketing at Puma, shared her pleasure at the announcement of the deal between the two parties. "We're delighted to be able to work with a club which truly puts its supporters at the heart of everything they do. We are proud of the association and look forward to a fantastic working understanding with everyone at the Club.
"Looking ahead, I am sure the relationship will be successful and we are proud to be supplying the Dons with their kit for the coming seasons."
The relationship between AFC Wimbledon and Puma will be managed by Genesis Teamwear.

Surreal: RCD Mallorca Official Store Spotted Selling PSG Gear
RCD Mallorca supporters were left bewildered after Paris Saint-Germain merchandise was spotted for sale inside the La Liga club's official store at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
Photos shared on social media by @llorinski show Nike PSG gear, including 24-25 home and away shirts as well as bucket hats, displayed right alongside Mallorca’s own kit range.
While both teams are supplied by Nike and Palma de Mallorca is a popular holiday destination for French tourists, local fans have expressed frustration over their official shop allocating prime retail space to another European club.
Valenciennes FC 26-27 Away Kit Released
French club Valenciennes FC and kit supplier Hummel have officially unveiled the new Valenciennes 26-27 away kit. Drawing inspiration from the club's 2012-13 centenary away shirt, the new design revives a classic look for the team.
The Hummel Valenciennes FC 26-27 away jersey features an off-white cream base complemented by dark burgundy accents. Burgundy trim adorns the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, side panels, and iconic Hummel chevrons on the shoulders.

Mohamed Salah Wears Symbolic Number 61 Shirt Upon Trabzonspor Transfer
Former Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has completed a high-profile transfer to Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor, making waves with his arrival attire ahead of the 26-27 season. Boarding his flight to Turkey, the Egyptian winger was pictured sporting Trabzonspor's claret and blue home kit customized with the name M. SALAH and the number 61 on the back in gold lettering.
The choice of number 61 raised immediate curiosity among fans accustomed to seeing Salah wear number 11 at Liverpool and 10 for Egypt. However, the number holds immense cultural significance in Trabzon, as 61 is the province's official vehicle registration plate code. Trabzonspor supporters also famously celebrate during the 61st minute of every home match with loud chants and celebrations, making the number a fitting tribute to his new club's identity.
While Salah wore the number 61 shirt for his arrival journey and announcement video, reports indicate that the gesture is purely symbolic for his unveiling. He is expected to select a traditional squad number for official matches, but his respectful nod to Trabzon's heritage has already resonated strongly with local supporters.
Recreativo de Huelva 26-27 Third Kit Released
Spanish club RC Recreativo de Huelva has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 season, crafted by Adidas. The shirt carries deep emotional significance for Spain's oldest football club, paying tribute to the supporters who tragically lost their lives in a bus accident on December 20, 2006, while traveling to Madrid for a match against Real Madrid.
The Recreativo de Huelva 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black, highlighted by striking orange and red accents. It features a bright orange monochromatic club crest sitting above the club's founding year, 1889, on the left chest, paired with a red Adidas logo on the right. Bright red Adidas three-stripes run along the shoulders, completing the bold contrast against the dark base.
Special memorial details set this kit apart. Printed below the back collar is the inscription "In Memoriam 20·12·2006" alongside star graphics. Additionally, a line-art graphic on the front lower hem illustrates supporters pointing to the sky, honoring the memory of the fans lost nearly two decades ago.
Mohamed Salah Wears Joma Kits for the First Time in Over 10 Years
Following Mohamed Salah's move to Trabzonspor, Egyptian forward is set to play for a club sponsored by Joma for only the second time in his career. The last time he wore the Spanish sportswear brand was in 2015, during his loan spell at Fiorentina.
