Jan 23, 2021, by Chris
Update: The Nike Striped Division IV teamwear template was finally officially released this month, and it means that very traditional striped home kits are an option again for historic clubs like Sunderland.
On February 5 2020, Nike announced that they are ditching the templates. However, there will be still Nike teamwear kits in the future. This is our first look at the updated striped Nike teamwear kit for 2021.

This picture shows the various colorways of the Nike Striped Division IV template.
Replacing the Nike Striped Division 3 shirt, the new striped Nike 2021 teamwear jersey ditches the raglan cut and adds stripes to the sleeves to create a much more traditional look. The stripes are a bit thinner than before.
The back of the new Nike Striped 2021 jersey is solid, unlike on the previous version which featured a bit of striping at the bottom. Long sleeve versions of the shirt are available as well.
Set to be available from January 1 2021, the new striped Nike Teamwear football kit retails at around 35 USD.
Let's hear your thoughts on the upcoming Nike Striped Division IV teamwear template in the comments below. Which teams do you expect to utilize it?
VfL Osnabrück 26-27 Special DFB-Pokal Kit Released - Worn Against Bayern Munich
German club VfL Osnabrück have unveiled a special kit for their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against FC Bayern Munich. Manufactured by Capelli Sport, the one-off jersey pays homage to one of the biggest cup upsets in German football history, when Osnabrück defeated Bayern 5-4 at the Olympiastadion in Munich on September 23, 1978.
The Osnabrück 26-27 DFB-Pokal special shirt closely mirrors the clean aesthetic worn during that historic 1978 triumph. Predominantly white, it features a bold retro polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs in Osnabrück's signature purple.
Completing the look, the special edition kit is paired with matching white shorts and socks accented by purple detailing. The kit will be worn exclusively during the home cup tie against Bayern Munich at the Bremer Brücke and is available through the club's official retail channels.
Sergio Camello Scores Against Barcelona in White Adidas Predator 94 Remake Boots
Rayo Vallecano forward Sergio Camello delivered a notable boot spotting during their La Liga clash against FC Barcelona, taking to the pitch in the white Adidas Predator 94 remake boots. The Spanish striker put the heritage silhouette in the spotlight at Spotify Camp Nou, finding the back of the net twice while laced up in the inverted 1994 classic featuring a white base, black Three Stripes, and small, signature red accents.
Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.
