Amiens Puma Kits Feature Small Pocket On The Back - Here Is Why
Oct 7, 2019, by Chris
While observing pictures of the match between French clubs SC Amiens and Olympique Marseille (both teams wore special pink elements on their jerseys to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer), French boot and kit experts Footpack noticed something stange about SC Amiens' jerseys - they feature a small pocket on the back..
Amiens Kits Feature Pocket To Hold GPS Device
The reason why the Puma Amiens 2019-2020 kit features a small pocket is as simple as clever. The pockets are used for the GPS device that teams use to track each player's movement.
In fact, if you have ever watched a few football matches, you have necessarily seen players with bras that look like bras. These bras are equipped with a GPS device. With SC Amiens' trick, players do not need to wear those bras.
According to Footpack, the players did not have this at the beginning of the season. It just has been the case since the beginning of September. No other Puma teams in French Ligue 1 have it, so it almost certainly comes from the club and not from the supplier.
With a GPS device, teams track and gather vital data about the player’s heart rate, speed, and distance covered as well as movement.

How the Three Newcastle Crest Options Compare
Jersey Story has created a very nice mock-up of how the three Newcastle United crest options compare.
Como 1907 Officially Reveal 26-27 Away Kit
Como 1907 has officially unveiled its new 26-27 away kit, produced by Adidas. The official announcement follows an early leak when midfielder Lucas Da Cunha was spotted wearing the shirt while signing autographs during the club's pre-season trip in the United Kingdom.
The Adidas Como 26-27 away jersey features a white base paired with dark blue details across the collar, sleeve cuffs, and classic three stripes on the shoulders. Giving the shirt a retro feel, it features the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo on the right chest opposite the club's crest, with Revolut taking position as the main front sponsor.
Set to make its debut in a pre-season fixture against Arsenal, the new away kit is already on sale at official physical retail locations and will be released on the club's online store soon.
Dortmund 26-27 Away Kit Leaked
Official photos of the Borussia Dortmund 26-27 away kit have appeared online, showcasing Puma's stealthy new design for the club's upcoming campaign. The shirt is built around a dark anthracite and black base, giving BVB a sleek look away from home. Big thansk to @KamilBerberler.
The jersey's defining feature is an all-over tonal abstract lightning bolt graphic woven into the fabric. Adding a touch of classic detail, Puma has included a buttoned collar with white contrast inserts at the back, paired with matching white trim on the sleeve cuffs. The BVB crest and Puma cat logo stand out in vibrant yellow, with the Vodafone sponsor logo placed prominently across the chest.
The full kit is completed with matching black shorts and black socks featuring white cuff details and yellow BVB 09 text.
