INSANE: Turkey U-21 Team Wears 8 Year Old Nike Kit

Irritating kit observation has been made in Turkey by kit expert @esvaphane with the Turkish U-21 national team wearing a very old football kit in a friendly against a team from Galatasaray.

Turkish U-21 Team Uses Modified Nike EURO 2012 Kit In Friendly

Instead of using the brand-new Nike 2020 home kit, the Turkish Under-21 national team wore the Nike EURO 2012 kit, which was released more than years ago.

This looks extremely strange with all other things from the match are logically happening in 2020. The players are wearing brand-new boots, and Galatasaray is using their Nike 2020-21 away.

A closer look reveals that there is a little difference to the original kit from 2012 - instead of the star, here is a TFF logo.

It is nothing too extraordinary but pretty common for national teams to test against club teams, especially in a time of the COVID-19 crisis. Bayern even played a match against Germany in 2005 for an opening match of the Allianz Arena.
