Puma to Release Gladbach 120th Anniversary Fourth Kit
Aug 17, 2020, by Pat
Puma is set to release a fourth kit for Borussia Mönchengladbach, celebrating the Bundesliga club's 120th anniversary this year.
In case you missed it, Puma released no less than three anniversary kits for some of its biggest clubs just last year: first Manchester City, then Marseille and finally Milan.
While we already suspected as much due to Puma's recent history and the fact that Gladbach is celebrating an important anniversary this year, we recently stumbled across two tweets by @Geckko8410. His messages do not only give us more confidence, they also provide at least a bit of detail about what to expect.
Gladbach 20-21 Anniversary / Fourth Kit
This picture shows the expected base color of the Borussia Mönchengladbach 2020-2021 120th anniversary shirt.
According to the @Geckko8410, the Borussia Mönchengladbach 20-21 fourth kit will be "black and retro-inspired".
That's not a lot, but it suggests that the design will be somewhat similar to the kits produced by Puma last year.
And there's no one more thing that hints at there being a fourth anniversary kit for Gladbach this season. A ball was leaked featuring a retro-inspired design, very similar to the ones Puma released for Manchester City and Milan last year.
But so far, we haven't gotten definitive proof of the Gladbach 20-21 fourth / anniversary kit actually existing.
Let's hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Premier League Match Ball Spotted in German 9th Tier for Niklas Süle Debut
Former Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Germany defender Niklas Süle recently made headlines by stepping onto the pitch for German amateur side SV Tiefenbach in the Kreisliga. Having stepped away from the professional game at the end of the 25-26 season, the 30-year-old made his debut for the local ninth-tier club in Baden-Württemberg alongside close friends. While Süle managed to score a headed goal in a 7-2 defeat against SG Kirchardt, we quickly spotted an unexpected detail: the match was played with the official Nike Premier League 24-25 Third ball.
Seeing a Premier League match ball in the lower divisions of German regional football is an unusual and amusing sight, as amateur clubs across the country usually rely on non-league or, also, Bundesliga balls.
The distinctive Nike Flight Premier League design inspired by the Total 90 design, complete with its signature aerodynamic groove pattern and Premier League graphics, stood out prominently on the district league pitch.
New Hull City Signing Brings Back Memories of Iconic Vennegoor of Hesselink Number 29 Kit Font Arc
Following Hull City's signing of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath, kit enthusiasts and football fans quickly noticed a similarity to one of the most iconic shirt prints in Premier League history. Gourna-Douath was unveiled holding his new black and amber striped 26-27 home kit featuring his hyphenated surname curved in a deep horseshoe arc around the number 29.
The visual immediately drew viral comparisons to Dutch striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who famously wore the exact same squad number 29 for Hull City during the 2009-10 campaign. Vennegoor of Hesselink's 20-letter surname required an extreme rainbow arch on the back of his kit to fit around the Premier League typeface, creating an enduring aesthetic memory from the classic Barclays era.
The Hull City kit does not require a box at the back, unlike it might have been in the UEFA Champions League.
Djed Spence to Wear Number 99 at Inter Milan
Following his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan, English wing-back Djed Spence has officially chosen the number 99 shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The 26-year-old completed his move to the Nerazzurri in a deal worth approximately €30 million, signing a five-year contract that keeps him at the club until June 2031.
High squad numbers remain a classic hallmark of Serie A, and Spence's selection of number 99 sees him continue that tradition in Milan.
