No More Puma After More Than 20 Years? Cameroon To Get New Kit Maker
Feb 27, 2019, by Chris
It seems like one of the longest partnerships in the history of African football will come to an end as Puma and the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) could not reach an agreement about extending their partnership. Thanks to Footpack for the info.
Puma had been making Cameroon's kits since 1997, making it the possibly longest partnership of any African national football team. In 2017, Puma celebrated the 20th anniversary of their partnership with Cameroon.
Cameroon is Puma's most famous team from Africa. In 2002, the brand released a sleeveless shirt for Cameroon, which was later banned by FIFA.
Puma And Cameroon Did Not Reach An Agreement About New Kit Deal
Puma's contract with Cameroon expired on December 31, 2018. According to FECAFOOT president Seidou Mbombo Njoya, the two parties do not seem to have found common ground to extend a rich 20-year partnership.
Je me suis rendu au siège de @PUMA en France le 13 février 2019. A ce jour, la @FecafootOfficie et @pumafootball ne sont pas parvenus à un accord. La FECAFOOT reste ouverte à toutes les discussions pour choisir son équipementier.#Football #Passion #Cameroun pic.twitter.com/cGprYoe34f

"I visited @PUMA's headquarters in France on February 13, 2019. To date, the @FecafootOfficie and @pumafootball have not reached an agreement. FECAFOOT remains open to all discussions to choose its equipment manufacturer"
Before Puma became their kit maker, Cameroon has been equipped by Lotto (1995-1996), Mitre (1993-1995), adidas (1988-1993) and Le Coq Sportif (1982-1987).
Which brand would you like to see making Cameroon's kits? Let us know in the comments below.
Original UEFA Super Cup Sleeve Badge Was Removed
At the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa wore the reigning Champions League and Europa League title-holder patches, respectively. This change started last year during the Super Cup clash between PSG and Tottenham Hotspur.
From 1998 to 2024, both teams competing in the UEFA Super Cup wore a single, generic tournament patch featuring the Super Cup trophy.
While PSG will continue wearing their Champions League patch throughout their continental campaign, Aston Villa's reigning Europa League champions patch will make its one and only appearance at the Super Cup. For their upcoming Champions League campaign, Villa will switch to a special Starball patch designated specifically for the reigning Europa League winners.

PSG Debut Retro-Inspired Champions League Font in UEFA Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain officially debuted their special cup font for their 26-27 home jersey during the 2026 UEFA Super Cup clash against Aston Villa. The nameset made a striking visual statement on the pitch, featuring player names enclosed in sharp white rectangular boxes alongside 3D-styled squad numbers.
This unique typography takes direct inspiration from the legendary font worn by PSG during their victorious 95-96 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign - the first major European trophy in the club's history.
While the streamlined standard typeface will continue to be used in domestic Ligue 1 matches, this nostalgic 90s-style font is set to be worn exclusively during their Champions League title defense.
Aston Villa 26-27 Third Kit Variation Debut
Following the 2026 UEFA Super Cup last night, we have got the first look at Aston Villa's new combination for their recently-released third kit.
Not being able to use the original version with claret shorts and socks due to kit clash against PSG, The Villans use white shorts and socks along with sky blue shirt to create an eye-catching look. Unlike many people's predictions, sky blue was not chosen by the club and Adidas for this variation.
Notably, these shorts and socks choices could very likely be inter-changeable between home and third kits, since both jerseys share similar color combinations.
Serie A Releases 26-27 Home Kit Overview Graphics
Ahead of the upcoming Italian top-flight campaign, official Serie A channels have shared custom illustration graphics highlighting the 26-27 home kits for clubs across the league. The lineup graphic brings together all the primary shirts into a clean, unified overview.
The overview showcases the diverse range of kit manufacturers and iconic designs set to feature across Italian football this season. Major brands like Adidas, Nike, Puma, Macron, Joma, and Kappa are represented alongside local suppliers, displaying classic vertical stripes, traditional halved designs, and clean solid colorways for the 26-27 season.
With the new campaign fast approaching, these illustrated visuals offer supporters a convenient look at every club's primary colors before official action gets underway on the pitch.
