Attention: Kappa Napoli €40 Replica vs €90 Authentic Kits

On July 14 2020, online retailer Classic Football Shirts added the current-season Kappa Napoli 2019-2020 kits to their website. When seeing the image of the kits from the well-trusted retailer, we immediately thought that something is not right - we started some research to find out what caused our ("correct") reaction.

Classic Football Shirts pictured the replica versions of the Kappa Napoli 2019-2020 jerseys, which are very different to the authentic ones. Let us compare the unique case of the two different kits Kappa offers for SSC Napoli fans and all other kit enthusiasts.

Kappa Napoli 2019-2020 Replica vs Authentic Jerseys

Similar to other big clubs and brands, the Kappa Napoli 19-20 kits are available as authentic and replica. However, while the replica and authentic jerseys usually don't differ greatly, the case with Napoli is different.

Pricing Differences

The Kappa Napoli replica kit retails at just 39 Euro, a very fair and low price. The Kappa Napoli authentic kit retails at 89 Euro, which is not too high for an authentic kit and less than what the big brands want.

In fact, in Kappa Italia's online sale, the Fan version is available for just €19, while the authentic is available for just €45 (Classic Football Shirts is overpriced in that case - €38 Euro for the replica, €55 for the authentic).

Design & Technology Differences

The Kappa Napoli €40 replica and the €90 authentic have three big differences.

First, the replica lacks many features of the authentic kit such as the collar.

Second, the replica comes with different brand logos such as the Kappa Omini logo (bigger on the replica).

Third, the replica has the replica KOMBAT™ kit technology and not the authentic KOMBAT™ material.

Authentic Kappa Kit: KOMBAT™ Authentic Napoli

  • Stretch fabric with HYDRO-WAY PROTECTION technology
  • SKIN FIT
  • Short sleeve with inserts, collar with front flap and button, inserts on shoulders and graphics printed on front panel
  • Omini logo on chest and sleeves, SSC Napoli back lettering made with heat applied transfer, 3D silicone team patch logo on chest applied with heat applied transfer and sponsors made with breathable transfer

Replica Kappa Kit: KOMBAT™ Fan

  • Interlock fabric
  • REGULAR FIT
  • Short sleeve raglan, crew neck, sublimatic print graphics on front panel, back panel and sleeves. Omini logo on chest made in heat applied transfer, Omini logos on sleeves, sponsor, SSC Napoli back lettering made in sublimatic print and jacquard team patch logo embroidered on chest

Other Kappa 2019-2020 Replica vs Authentic Jerseys

The differences of other Kappa replica and authentic kits for teams such as AS Monaco and Leeds United are not as big - the replica and authentic of other clubs come with the same design and logos. They just different technologies (KOMBAT™ Pro and KOMBAT™ Replica) and fit (Player Issue is very tight).

There are two main reasons for Kappa to offer the very cheap replica - the main is that fakes are being sold in Napoli and surrounding areas (they can dry up the fake market), the second (and less important) is that the south if Italy is not as rich as other parts of Europe.

No More Puma: Brain Dead UD Ibiza 26-27 Away Kit Released

Spanish club UD Ibiza has officially released its new away kit for the 26-27 season, crafted by creative collective and technical sponsor Brain Dead. Following the takeover from Puma earlier this summer and the previous unveilings of their home and third shirts, this release completes the island club's match collection for the campaign.

The Brain Dead UD Ibiza 26-27 away jersey delivers a bold aesthetic inspired directly by the sargantana ibicenca (the Ibiza wall lizard), an enduring symbol of the island's natural identity. The kit channels the reptile's distinct scales into a contemporary camouflage pattern, blending blurred digital textures in shades of toxic green, moss, and deep black across the entire front, back, and sleeves.

Contrasting the chaotic camouflage base, all accents and club emblems are rendered in a striking electric yellow monochrome, including the UD Ibiza crest, Brain Dead's signature head profile logo, and sponsor branding. The design is finished with a neat black crew-neck collar, matching black sleeve cuffs tipped with white piping, and clean white stripes tracing down each flank.

Nigeria to Leave Nike and Return to Adidas in Record 2027 Kit Deal

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to part ways with Nike after an 11-year partnership and make a high-profile return to Adidas starting in January 2027. The switch will conclude an era with the Swoosh that began in 2015 and produced some of the most iconic and culturally celebrated football shirts of recent times, headlined by the viral 2018 World Cup collection.

The new agreement with Adidas is worth an estimated $8.5 million per year, making it the largest publicly disclosed kit deal in African football history. The contract breaks down into $4.5 million in cash alongside $4 million in kits, equipment, and apparel annually, accompanied by a 20% royalty on official merchandise sold in Nigeria. Nike's long-standing contract had remained static at around $1.5 million in total annual value, and the US brand ultimately declined to exercise its right to match Adidas' significantly enhanced proposal.

This marks a return to the Three Stripes for Nigeria for the first time since 2014. Adidas famously outfitted the Super Eagles during key eras of their history, including their World Cup debut in 1994 and their Africa Cup of Nations triumph in 2013. In tandem with the team sponsorship, Adidas plans to expand its retail footprint across Nigeria to over 30 stores, ensuring vastly improved distribution and accessibility of official gear for supporters.

Completing the range, the away jersey arrives in dark blue with clean white contrast piping along the collar, cuffs, and shoulder inserts for a classic aesthetic. The third kit switches to an energetic saffron orange look accented by rich blue side panels and sleeve trim, mirroring the shoulder pattern details from the primary strip.
