Köln 20-21 Special-Edition Kit Revealed - Release Delayed Due to "Ever Given"
May 1, 2021, by Pat
Bundesliga club Köln have announced that their latest special-edition kit will be released later than planned after the shipping was delayed due to the "Ever Given" getting stuck in the Suez Canal earlier this month.
Köln managing director Alexander Wehrle confirmed it earlier this month. "That's the way it is. [The shirts] are currently stuck in the Suez Canal, as our outfitter Uhlsport told us."
The shirt, which was revealed by the club way back, will be given to all season ticket holders who waived their right to a refund.
In case you missed it, Köln earlier this year announced a kit deal with Hummel that will commence in 2022-23.

The shirt features a new design and looks like a classic Köln home shirt. It is white with red trim on the collar and cuffs, while also featuring a subtle print of the club badge across the lower front.
Completing the design, there's a print including the names of all season ticket holders who waived their refund, also on the lower front of the shirt.
The Köln 2020-21 special-edition shirt will be worn by the first team when fans return to the stadium.
Following the delay, the club will begin shipping it out to the supporters from early May, as confirmed by Wehrle.

Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.

Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
