Bielefeld 20-21 Special Kit Released
Apr 21, 2021, by Pat
Update: The Bielefeld 20-21 'Sondertrikot' was debuted in the Bundesliga match against Schalke last night (1-0), which confirmed the visitors' relegation from the Bundesliga after more than 30 years.
In other news, the club announced that they have reverted changing the club color to a lighter blue. After a large majority of fans voted against the new color the club worked with the Fan Council to define a new official color, in line with what had been used before. Instead of putting light blue up against dark there will not be a vote at the annual general meeting in order to put this new "Arminia blue" into the club statutes.
Update: The slogan "Football lives through its fans" ("Fußball lebt durch seine Fans") won the vote of the fans with 51%. Bielefeld will play on the 30th matchday against FC Schalke with the special jersey.
Bundesliga club Bielefeld presented a new special-edition shirt earlier today, to be worn in the match against Schalke in late April.
Macron Bielefeld 2020-21 Special Jersey
This is the Bielefeld 2020-21 special shirt, made by Macron.
Inspired by the club's first Bundesliga shirt in 1970, the Macron Bielefeld 2020-21 special football shirt introduces a classic look in blue and white, combined diagonally.
Three sponsor options of the Macron Bielefeld 20-21 special football shirt were available via a vote on the club website.
Option two ('Fußball lebt durch fans' - 'Football lives through fans') won ahead of option 3 ('Ostwestfalen' - that's the club's home region). Option 1 (club motto 'Stur, hartnäckig, kämpferisch' - 'Stubborn, persistent, combative') was far off.
White shorts and socks complete the new Macron Bielefeld 20-21 special uniform.
After it was decided to not pursue changing the club color, this special-edition kit will likely remain the only one to feature this new, brighter shade of blue. Interestingly, the box that contains the new kit boasts a darker, more saturated blue that we could well see being the one that was worked out together with the Fan Council.
The new Bielefeld 2020-2021 special shirt is available to buy online, retaling at €79.95.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
