PSG & AS Monaco Wear Special-Edition Jerseys In Tribute To Notre Dame
Update: Thanks to la source, here are three pictures of the special jersey to be worn by PSG tonight:
Update: AS Monaco will also pay tribute to Notre Dame in their Ligue 1 match against Monaco with a special badge on their kit.
Paris Saint-Germain will pay tribute to Notre Dame in the Ligue 1 match against Monaco this Sunday, 21 April. Big thanks to la source parisienne for this scoop.
A devastating fire on Monday evening destroyed large parts of the iconic church in Paris, prompting people around the world to pledge their support to help the rebuilding process.
Just yesterday, a local store created their own custom patch that can be printed on shirts, with €10 per sold shirt going to the rebuilding fund.
The special-edition PSG jersey will come with two details commemorating Notre Dame: a special graphic will be applied to the front of the shirt, while 'Notre Dame' will be printed on the back. Although not confirmed yet, this will likely be in the place of the players' names, since Ooredoo's logo already takes the place at the bottom below the numbers.
FC Barcelona did something similar following the 2017 Barcelona attacks - all player names were replaced with 'Barcelona' in the opening match of last season. Back in November 2015, PSG's shirts had the sponsor replaced with 'Je Suis Paris' after the terror attacks.

Como 1907 26-27 Home Kit Released With Shocking €125 Price Tag
Como 1907's new 26-27 home kit has arrived, but the price tag is intense. The Italian club is charging €125 for the home jersey, which is €25 more expensive than the standard Adidas retail price of €100. While Como is asking €125 at its own official outlets, Adidas should sell the exact same kit for the standard €100 price through its own retail channels (but without the sponsors, which some surely prefer).
The steep €125 price tag stands out even further when compared to previous releases. For supporters reluctant to pay such a high amount for the new 26-27 shirt, last season's home kit is available for half price at just €55 (full price was €110).
