Italian Fashion Brand Stone Island To Purchase Modena FC, To Make Club's Kits
May 14, 2021, by Khoi
Stone Island's Carlo Rivetti is reportedly trying to finalise the deal with the Serie C club.
Stone Island To Buy Modena FC
Reports were circling in February 2020 that Stone Island was trying to buy 30% stakes of Modena FC. However, looks like this time the former is trying to buy the football club entirely.
It is believed that the deal would mean the Italian fashion brand will become the new kit supplier for the Serie C side and, in turn, boost the popularity of Stone Island even further.
This is not Stone Island's first attempt at dipping its' toe in the football world. For a few years, it has been the official partner of the Chinatown Invitational supplying kits to the competing teams. This is an amateur football league that is held every year in New York.
Modena FC has just finished fourth in the 20-21 Serie C season and will shortly begin their play-off for a place in the Serie B next season.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
