INSANE: Turkish Club Denizlispor Reproduces Nike As Kappa Kits To Bypass Federation Rules

On November 7 2020, Denizlispor announced that it signed a sponsorship deal with Kappa, effective from the 2020-21 season until at least 2021-22. However, as the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) does not allow teams to switch shirt manufacturers during a season, the team had to "trick the federation". Thanks to @esvaphane for the heads-up.

"Kappa" Denizlispor 20-21 Kit Based On Nike Template

The Kappa Denizlispor 20-21 home and away kits replicate the look of their Nike teamwear-based 20-21 jerseys.

Turkish Football Federation Does Not Allow Switch Of Kit Makers During Ongoing Season

According to the instructions of the TFF, it is not possible to change the jersey in the middle of the season. To avoid this, the Kappa jerseys were produced for Denizlispor in the same design as Nike jerseys. The Nike logo was evaluated as "advertisement" and Kappa logo was placed with the advertisement change.

"The TFF Sportive Equipment Instruction does not contain an article that allows change of form or jersey manufacturer, but it is emphasized that uniforms should be notified at the beginning of the season."

A similar trick is used by Austrian club LASK, whose kits are made by water technology company BWT in UEFA competitions.

Germany to Wear 1990 Away Remake Kit Against Netherlands

Germany will take the pitch in a special throwback look for their 26-27 UEFA Nations League showdown against the Netherlands on September 24, 2026, at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam. The DFB has confirmed that the national team will wear an official remake of their iconic 1990 away kit for the encounter, which will also mark the official debut of new head coach Jürgen Klopp.

The shirt is an authentic reproduction released under Adidas' Bringback collection. It recreates the famous geometric zigzag chevron graphic in alternating shades of green that create a dynamic 3D effect across the torso. Completing the retro aesthetic are a contrasting white overlapping V-neck collar, the classic Trefoil logo, and the vintage Deutscher Fussball-Bund crest. The original design remains etched in football folklore, famously worn during West Germany's 1990 World Cup campaign, including their memorable semi-final penalty shootout triumph against England.

With Nike preparing to take over as Germany's technical supplier starting in 2027, the match serves as a high-profile send-off for Adidas as the brand celebrates the final months of its historic, multi-decade partnership with the German federation. The team will pair the green jersey with classic white shorts and green socks, and replica editions have been made available for supporters.
