Man City, Newcastle & Other Team's Fans 'Robbed' By Puma With Insane Pricing For 2019-20 Products
This year, we twice already reported about football teams and their kit supplier selling cheap standard teamwear shirts with just added logos for a price that is anything but low. Now Newcastle United fan and Shirt collector Newcastle Shirts Match (@ShirtsMatch) made a nice overview of Newcastle United 2019-20 Puma products that are overpriced.

Puma Sells Standard Teamwear Products With Club Logos For Questionable Prices
Newcastle United, just as every professional team in the world of football, did not only receive new player kits but also a lot of other stuff. Only the home and away jerseys are unique, while all other stuff has been not designed for the club.
In example, Newcastle United's third kit is based on cheap teamwear with just different colors, while Newcastle's training is the same as standard teamwear just with the club's crest and the club's sponsor. The price difference between the standard teamwear and the official gear is as high as 50 GBP for the Puma 2019-20 keeper kits, in example.
Of course, Newcastle United and Puma are not the only in the world of football with this actually ridiculous practice. All other brands and teams are doing this, some more and some less.
Man City is also selling their 2019-20 keeper kit for much, much more than the teamwear, and Portsmouth and all others are doing the same.

Union Berlin 26-27 Home Kit to Be Released June 8
German newspaper BILD has confirmed our leak of the Adidas 1. FC Union Berlin home kit for the 2026-27 season. The design shifts from the prior red and white striped look to a predominantly red shirt with white accents on the collar and shoulders. An embossed geometric pattern across the front and sleeves directly references the steel roof structure of Stadion An der Alten Försterei as a tribute to the club's historic ground. Sponsors Adidas, Raisin and Kermi remain unchanged from the previous season.
The kit will be officially unveiled on June 8, an earlier date chosen to avoid the FIFA World Cup window running from June 11 to July 19.

LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
