Jan 31, 2019, by Chris
We often get sent images showing off allegedly leaked kits, especially if a club changes kit suppliers. In today's article, we take a look at some of the 'best' fakes that we have seen over the past few years, including mainly jersey concepts that were produced by fakers.
Adidas Arsenal 2019-20 Home & Away - Concepts by Rupertgraphic
Italian graphic designer Rupertgraphic some months ago created concepts for the first modern Adidas Arsenal jerseys. The fakers saw his kits and produced them - the quality of the fakes seems to be really bad, however.
Barcelona 2019-20 Third
When we leaked that the Nike FC Barcelona 19-20 third kit will feature the Nike Sportswear logo and a classic collar, a concept kit maker designed a stylish but solely fantasy design of the jersey. This could not prevent fakers to produce it...
France 2019 Home Kit
This France kit is based on a very popular concept of French designer Saintiexx from November 2018. The quality of the kit is again bad.
Inter 19-20 Home Jersey
Based on the first leaked info that the Internazionale 19-20 home kit will feature diagonal stripes, someone has produced a kit of it.
Manchester United 2017-18 Away Shirt
This Man Utd away jersey would have surely been popular amongst supporters - but is 100% fake.
Rangers FC 2018-19 Away Kit
Ahead of the release of the Hummel 2018-2019 jersey, a fake with a bespoke Scottish falg design made the waves on social media.
Tottenham 2017-18 Third
Before Nike released their first-ever Tottenham kits, there were many wrong leaks. One of them showed a yellow and purple Spurs kit, dubbed as third.
Arsenal 2019-20 Home, Away & Third
Adidas' return as Arsenal kit supplier produced possibly the most-ever fakes - These are three others of them, all based on concepts.
Spurs 2017-18 Home Kit
Based on a concept of Rupertgraphic, this Spurs 17-18 kit logically never cam out...

Inter Miami Announce American Airlines as First-Ever Airline Partner

In-House Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 2026 Kits Released
The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation (SVGFF) has officially unveiled a brand-new set of in-house kits for the national football team, nicknamed Vincy Heat. Opting out of a deal with a traditional sportswear brand, the federation designed and produced the collection internally under a dedicated campaign titled "Ours."
The launch showcases three distinct colourways celebrating the island nation's flag: yellow, royal blue, and emerald green. All three jerseys share an identical template characterized by a sharp V-neck collar, fine contrast shoulder piping, and matching sleeve cuffs. Across the torso, each shirt features a dynamic diagonal brushstroke pattern embedded with micro-motifs reminiscent of the three diamonds seen on the national flag.
Contrasting details complete the look, with royal blue accents adorning the primary yellow jersey, and vivid yellow trims framing both the blue and green alternatives. Centered around themes of national pride and identity, the collection is headlined by slogans such as "Our Nation. Our Culture. Our Team" and "Wherever we go, we carry home."
Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
