Oct 2, 2020, by Chris
The 2020-21 Champions League group stage draw took place yesterday, just one day after the final play-off matches. We take a look which brands will dominate the 20-21 Champions League kit battle, revealing some interesting facts. Thanks to @planetafobal and @footpack for the infographics.
2020-2021 UEFA Champions League Kit Battle
Nike is the clear number 1 in the 2020-2021 Champions League Group Stage with 13 of 32 clubs - more than 40%. Adidas comes second with 7 teams, followed by Puma with 6 teams. The Top 3 brands make the kits for 26 of the 32 teams (~ 83%)
Besides the Top 3 brands, there are only four other suppliers. Macron and New Balance (two teams, respectively) as well as Bilcee & Joma (1 team). For Turkish brand Bilcee, supplier of Turkish champions Basaksehir, it is the first-ever appearance in the Champions League.
Compared to previous years, Puma is likely the biggest winner. The brand managed to rise from only 1 team to 6 teams in only two years (2018-19: 1 team, 2019-20: 4 teams, 2020-21: 6 teams).

Italian Serie D side Piacenza Calcio and kit supplier EYE Sport have officially unveiled the club's new home shirt for the 2026-27 campaign.
The EYE Sport Piacenza Calcio 2026-27 home jersey features the club's classic red base with an all-over tonal sublimated graphic referencing the city's architectural heritage. The shirt is complemented by an elegant white polo collar with a matching front insert, thin white shoulder piping, and white sleeve cuffs decorated with subtle patterned trim.
On the upper back beneath the collar, the Latin inscription "URBS AEMILIAE PRINCEPS" pays homage to Piacenza's historic status along the Via Emilia. The kit is finished with the club's diamond wolf crest on the chest, EYE Sport logos on the chest and sleeves, and contrasting white sponsor branding throughout.
LNZ Cherkasy 26-27 Third Kit Released
Ukrainian Premier League side LNZ Cherkasy and Italian brand Macron have unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The shirt features an entirely bespoke concept deeply rooted in Ukrainian literary heritage and the local culture of Cherkasy.
The Macron LNZ Cherkasy 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black with striking purple and glowing accents. Across the jersey, subtle graphics depict iconic local landmarks of Cherkasy alongside waves of the Dnipro River, flying seagulls, and a starry night backdrop. It also incorporates prominent tributes to Ukraine's most revered poets, displaying lines from Taras Shevchenko alongside a depiction of a Kobzar playing the traditional bandura, as well as poetic verses from Vasyl Symonenko.
White Macron branding, sponsor logos, and a crisp white club badge complete the design on the chest, creating a sharp contrast against the dark base. The new third strip joins LNZ Cherkasy's unique kit set for the 26-27 campaign.
