Did Macron Steal Millwall 20-21 Third Kit Design?
Nov 2, 2020, by Pat
Unveiled just now, it looks like Macron#s design for the Millwall 20-21 third kit isn't as original as it might seam at first. In fact, there's a concept design from just over a year ago that has a very similar design.
Renowned concept creator @IL_Graphic created a design in August last year, also taking inspiration from the branding of Millwall main sponsor Huski Chocolate's branding. The resulting kit is extremely to what was just launched by Macron and the Sky-Bet Championship club.

Considering that the concept design received quite a bit of attention, including among Millwall supporters, we are almost certain that it did in fact inspire the new 2020-21 third kit.
"What's happening with Macron? Are they out of ideas?"
One thing is fore sure: Macron did not work together with @IL_Graphic on this. He just tweeted "What's happening Macron? Are they out of ideas?"

Outstanding Millwall 20-21 Third Kit Released - Inspired by Main Sponsor
But what do you think? Did Macron copy this design or is it just a case of great minds thinking alike? And, most importantly, do you prefer the more subdued colors of the concept or Macron's rather garish shade of red? Comment below.
BG Pathum United 26-27 20th Anniversary Kit Released
Thai League side BG Pathum United have officially released a special 20th anniversary kit for the 26-27 season. Produced by Nike and launched under the club's "Side by Side" campaign, the commemorative shirt celebrates two decades since the team was originally founded in 2006 as Bangkok Glass FC, reviving the historic green color from the club's early years.
The Nike BGPU 26-27 20th anniversary shirt combines a vibrant green base with contrasting black accents on the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs, flanked by white side panels. It features clean monochrome white applications throughout, including the club crest, the Nike Swoosh, and the front sponsor. Two variations of the jersey are available: the domestic Thai League version featuring Leo branding on the chest, and an AFC Champions League Two version with Singha Corporation and a Thai flag detail on the sleeve.
White shorts and white socks complete the throwback look. The BG Pathum United 26-27 20th anniversary kit is now on sale through the club's official online shop and at the BGPU Mega Store, priced at 999 THB for the standalone jersey. The club has also made a limited "Side by Side" collector's boxset available for 2,000 THB, containing two shirts, two commemorative scarves, and a sticker sheet.
Special Rayados 'Legado 86' Commemorative Kit Released
Mexican side CF Monterrey and Puma have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey, titled the Jersey Legado 86. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Monterrey's first-ever Liga MX league championship won in the Mexico 1986 tournament, the commemorative shirt made its on-pitch debut during their 26-27 Liga MX match against Cruz Azul.
The shirt's defining characteristic is the substitution of the modern club crest with the classic 1986 retro emblem, which showcases the historic mountain silhouette, vintage football, and classic club lettering. Puma positioned their red cat logo and the retro crest to replicate the arrangement seen on the original 1986 jersey, while modern club partners such as BBVA and Codere are incorporated across the traditional navy and white stripes.
Several bespoke detailing elements complete the design, including a star graphic with the number 86 printed inside the collar and the current Rayados crest positioned on the nape of the neck. Released in a limited run of 1,986 pieces, the collector's item pays homage to one of the most celebrated moments in the club's history.
