No More Adidas From Next Season - Puma Valencia 19-20 Concept Kits By Pepe Dus
Feb 5, 2019, by Chris
Although the agreement between Valencia CF and Puma is not official yet, it is an open secret that the Spanish club will change its kit supplier from Adidas to Puma next season as some items that Puma designed for Valencia CF for the 2019-2020 season got already leaked. Already some months ago, Spanish kit designer Pepe Dus (@Dussball) has created three bespoke Valencia Puma concept jerseys.

The Puma Valencia CF Concept Jerseys By Dussball draw inspiration from the city's most famous historical symbols.
Home
The VCF home kit Puma concept is white and black with orange used for the innder side of the collar only. The main feature of the shirt is half of the Nolla 8-pointed star (its most iconic mosaic) in a fine dotted on the chest. Detail on the sleeves with the border of the tower of the Palauet Nolla, a Valencian architectural jewel, round off the bespoke look.
Away
Puma originally brought the kit color orange to Valencia, and so the Puma Valencia away kit concept is orange. It has what appears to be camouflage style in two shades of orange at first glance, but the reality is that the print is a representation of the precious pavement Nolla of the old asylum of San Juan Bautista.
Third
The Puma Valencia third concept by the designer is blue, in clear homage to the Puma Valencia CF shirt of 1990-91. The main print comes from the façade of the Palauet Nolla. Details with the colors of the senyera in sleeves and neck.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

CD Toledo 26-27 Home Kit Released
Spanish Tercera Federación side CD Toledo has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 campaign, manufactured by Joma. Presented under the slogan "Identidad. Puro Toledo," the release completes the club's uniform lineup for the upcoming season.
The Joma CD Toledo 2026-27 home jersey offers a classic and refined aesthetic, centered around the club's traditional rich green colorway. It features a sharp white polo collar and matching white sleeve cuffs, both enhanced with intricate subtle detailing along the edges. The shirt is complemented by white Joma branding, the club's crest on the left chest, and the La Sagra 0.0 sponsor on the front.
The launch of the green home strip rounds out CD Toledo's 26-27 kit set, following the earlier reveals of their black and gold pinstriped away kit and a 1990s-inspired gray third kit.
Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
