Bayer Leverkusen, Sparta Praha & Many More | 6 Teams That Are Carrying Over Old Kits
After we have already taken an in-depth look at AFC Wimbledon's case, we now want to give you a complete overview of all teams carrying over kits into the 2019-20 season to showcase this is still not something out of the ordinary in 2019.
While the big players such as Nike are looking for ways to maximise the kit sales by introducing more one-off kits or the upcoming 4th kits for the brand's 'elite' teams, there are some examples of more sustainable cycles. Let's take a closer look.
Accrington Stanley 2017-20 Home Kit
Wearing the same home shirt for the third season in a row, Accrington Stanley's 2017-20 home shirt does not stand out because of its design but its long usage cycle.
AFC Wimbledon 2018-20 Home & Away Kits
AFC Wimbledon changes both its home and away kits every two years since a few seasons. The third kit is changed in the intervening year, subject to the kit suppliers and shirt sponsors remaining unchanged.
Bayer Leverkusen 2018-20 Home / Away Kit
Die Werkself also has a tradition of carrying over one shirt each season. This time, the club kept the 2018-19 home shirt, which now becomes Bayer Leverkusen's 2019-2020 away jersey, while also featuring a great look.
Boston United 18-20 Home Kit
Carrying over the home shirt, Boston United accepts the call and steps up with a traditional stripes look.
Sparta Praha 19-21 Home Kit & 18-20 Away Kit
Keeping a strict cycle, Sparta Prague unveils one new kit each season. This year, Nike unveiled Sparta Praha's 2019-21 home shirt. It's maroon with white logos and black trim in the form of the back neck tape and sleeve cuffs, while the away jersey gets carried over from last season.
Wycombe Wanderers 18-20 Home Kit
Featuring a stunning checkers look, Wycombe Wanderer's 2018-20 home jersey features a quarters look, which even gets continued onto the simple crew-neck collar and back.

Nike Creates Personalized Mercurial 2026 World Cup Boots for Kylian Mbappé's France Goalscoring Record
Kylian Mbappé has officially cemented his legacy as the greatest goalscorer in the history of the French national team, surpassing Olivier Giroud to take the top spot. To celebrate this historic milestone of reaching 58 international goals, Nike has presented the star forward with a personalized pair of Mercurial Superfly 11 boots. This special edition footwear arrives just in time as Mbappé prepares to make his 100th appearance for Les Bleus.
The custom Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Mbappé 2026 World Cup boots features a distinct "58" lightly printed on the lateral side of the heel, representing his record-breaking goal tally.
