First-Ever Bespoke Kits Incoming - Wehen Wiesbaden Announces Capelli Kit Deal - No More Nike After 13 Years
Jun 9, 2020, by Chris
German 2. Bundesliga club SV Wehen Wiesbaden today announced that Capelli, the New York "sports label", will replace Nike as kit supplier after 13 years.
Capelli To Make Wehen Wiesbaden Kits From 2020-21 Season Until 2025
The Capelli Sport Wehen Wiesbaden deal runs from the start of the 2020-2021 season until 30.06.2025. As it is usual, the deal covers not only the equipment of the professional team on the pitch but also the area of training and leisure wear.
For the first time in its history, SV Wehen Wiesbaden will appear in jerseys designed exclusively for the club for the new season.
"We will receive jerseys that are completely tailored to our club and completely individualised, which will reflect everything that stands for us as a club - our colours, our claim 'the W unites' and much more", says Nico Schäfer, spokesman for the management of SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
Kay Mourhege, President Europe of Capelli Sport, is also convinced of the new partnership: "Everyone at Capelli Sport is looking forward to working with SVWW. Together with SV Wehen Wiesbaden we want to establish ourselves here in the metropolitan region. In addition to the professionals, we have a strong focus on the youngsters, whom we want to inspire with our young New York lifestyle".
"With this strategically oriented partnership, we can optimally combine the strengths of both houses," explains Markus Klepzig, Head of Marketing and Sales at SVWW. "We see enormous potential, particularly with regard to anchoring in the region through our brand message 'the W unites', or the US base located here.
In addition to the professional sector, all SVWW junior teams will be competing in Capelli Sport from the new season onwards, even wearing the jersey of the professional team for the first time. Likewise, the SVWW football school and the associated camps will be equipped with the teamwear of the American manufacturer.
"For our professional and junior team it was important to get a partner who has experience and know-how here, but also meets the spirit of the times," says SVWW sports director Christian Hock. "In the discussions and also in the selection process of the products, we at Capelli Sport have gained a very positive impression. Our entire sports division is very much looking forward to it when it starts soon.

Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
