Kit Clash Incoming?! 2019 Copa Sudamericana Final Kits Revealed
Nov 7, 2019, by Chris
On Saturday, Ecuadorian club Independiente Del Valle will face Argentinian side CA Colon in the 2019 Copa Sudamericana final (equivalent to Europa League). South American football body Conmebol already revealed the jersey that will be worn by in the final. And the decision has been causing controversy because of the colors chosen, which will likely cause a "Clash Kit".

Kit Clash Could Be Avoided Easily
For Saturday's match in Asuncion, Paraguay, it was decided that Independiente Del Valle will play with their away jersey, in shock pink, with black details, while Colon will wear their first-choice jersey, divided in half in red and black.
Immediately after the South-American Football Confederation's announcement of the uniforms, many fans began to question the similarity of the colors of the shirts.
Two things speak again a big clash. First, the pink color on the picture of Independiente Del Valle's jersey is not accurate. Second, the Ecuadorian team will wear white shorts and white socks, while the Argentinean will wear black shorts and socks.
However, it is still possible that the jerseys will be changed for the match. Many fans noted that there might be a big clash (if Independiente Del Valle would wear their dark home kit and CA Colon would opt for their white away kit everything would be 100% sin).
22 jugadores vestidos idénticos? 🤔 Ah no, quiero pensar que los goleros se vestirán igual que los jueces.

Ambos equipos van a jugar la final de la Sudamericana 2019 con colores similares.
As reported earlier this week, a special badge for the 2019 Copa Sudamericana final is applied on both kits.
What did you think of Conmebol's choice for the kits of the2019 South American Cup final? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Nike Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Leaked - New Image
A new image of the Nike Inter Milan 26-27 third kit has surfaced, confirming the retro-inspired look that pays tribute to the club's iconic 1997-98 third shirt worn during the Ronaldo era.
Hong Kong 2026 Home Kit Released
Nike and the Football Association of Hong Kong, China have quietly revealed the new Hong Kong 2026 home shirt.
The Nike Hong Kong 2026 home jersey combines two shades of red in a subtle half-and-half design, with a centrally aligned chest layout. The circular HKFA crest is positioned right in the center of the chest, accompanied by a white Nike Swoosh directly beneath it.
First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
