Nike Has The Most Best Teams - Three Brands Dominate 2019-20 La Liga Kit Battle
Aug 7, 2019, by Chris
The 2019-2020 La Liga season is set to be dominated by the big brands, at least the race for the title. Let's take a detailed look at the battle of brands in the 19-20 La Liga Santander season.
Compared to previous season, the most interesting change might be the presence of Puma in La Liga. Puma replaced Nike as the official supplier of La Liga after more than 20 years, and the German brand also secured a deal with Valencia CF. For Puma, it is the first time since several years that they have a big presence in Spain.

The biggest clubs in La Liga are sponsored by Adidas, Nike and Puma. However, while the most important La Liga teams have been split between Adidas and Nike traditionally, the Swoosh has more of the better teams in the 2019-2020 La Liga season as Adidas lost Valencia to Puma.
In total, there have been four kit supplier changes: Valencia: Adidas → Puma , SD Eibar: Puma → Joma , Valladolid: Hummel → Adidas, Granada: Erreà → Nike.
Joma secured not less than four teams in their home market. Other suppliers in La Liga are Kelme and Macron with two teams as well as Hummel, New Balance, Kappa, Umbro and Puma with one club, respectively.
What do you think of Adidas having only Real Madrid as big team in La Liga? Let us know in the comments below.
VfL Osnabrück 26-27 Special DFB-Pokal Kit Released - Worn Against Bayern Munich
German club VfL Osnabrück have unveiled a special kit for their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against FC Bayern Munich. Manufactured by Capelli Sport, the one-off jersey pays homage to one of the biggest cup upsets in German football history, when Osnabrück defeated Bayern 5-4 at the Olympiastadion in Munich on September 23, 1978.
The Osnabrück 26-27 DFB-Pokal special shirt closely mirrors the clean aesthetic worn during that historic 1978 triumph. Predominantly white, it features a bold retro polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs in Osnabrück's signature purple.
Completing the look, the special edition kit is paired with matching white shorts and socks accented by purple detailing. The kit will be worn exclusively during the home cup tie against Bayern Munich at the Bremer Brücke and is available through the club's official retail channels.

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.
