Having switched from Hummel to Kelme, Basque outfit Deportivo Alavés today released its new home, away and third kits for the 2017-18 campaign. All three jerseys feature bespoke and clean designs and come without any main sponsor.
Deportivo Alavés 17-18 Home Kit
This is the new Alavés home jersey.
The new Alavés 2017-2018 home shirt has a classic appearance with five white and blue stripes - more than in the past few seasons - black details next to the neck and on the sleeves, and a 'DA' detail above the left hem as a nod to the club's 1990s uniforms.
The inside of the neck of the Alavés 2017-18 jersey reads "Lurralde baten nortasuna, hiri baten harrotasuna" (Basque for "the identity of a territory, the pride of a city").
Blue shorts and blue socks complete the Alavés 17-18 home kit.
Alavés 17-18 Away Kit
This is the Deportivo Alavés 2017-2018 away shirt.
The Kelme Alavés 2017-18 away jersey stands out both with its black color and its modern design. It's the first time after almost a decade that the color is used, and here it's combined with an array of blue stripes across the front and on the collar.
A monochrome crest and the same details as on the home kit complete the look.
Deportivo Alavés 17-18 Third Kit
This is the Deportivo Alavés 2017-18 third jersey.
Finally, the Alavés 2107-2018 third shirt is white and red, which are the colors of the city flag, it's meant to represent the union between club and city of Alavés.
A very traditional collar, completely red, stands out besides the diagonal cross on the lower front.

RFEF Official Store AI Chatbot Recommends Fake Spain Jerseys
The official store of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has experienced an embarrassing glitch, as its AI-powered chatbot is reportedly advising fans to purchase counterfeit Spain national team jerseys instead of the official merchandise.

The post quickly gained massive traction with nearly a million views, prompting other users to share their own bizarre interactions with the shop.rfef.es AI, which included further recommendations for fakes, specific unauthorized sellers, and even seemingly random Python code. This incident highlights the potential pitfalls of implementing AI customer service without strict guardrails.

The Castore FC Twente 2026-27 home shirt introduces a clean and traditional look in the club's classic red. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary 2009-10 championship-winning season, the standout design feature is a subtle, thin vertical line pattern that runs across the entire shirt. Adding a local touch, the word 'Tukkers' is proudly incorporated into the collar, while various club-specific elements are embedded within the back numbers.
