Ever Happened Before? Deportivo To Ditch Revolutionary Hoops Home Kit Midway Through Season
Jan 14, 2020, by Chris
Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña, La Liga champions in 1999-2020, are currently in a very difficult situation, occupying the bottom of LaLiga2. Therefore, they decided to do something that is not happening often - they change their kit throughout the season, which should help to leave behind everything related to their disastrous 2019 year.
Depor To Release Special Shirt With Traditional Vertical Stripes
Depor president Fernando Vidal has asked the LFP for permission to change jersey for the next two games. They want to replace the (revolutionary) horizontally striped shirt launched by Macron, with another jersey, which will bring back the traditional vertical stripes.
The reasons why the stripes have become horizontal was a tribute to the flag of A Coruña, which has them in this sense. However, fans were not happy with it, which was a "stab in our traditions".
Several Spanish newspapers have announced the change. However, the club will not use the 2018-2019 jersey but a special shirt for these matches. It is set to be presented soon.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
