Burberry Stop Sale Of Newport County 21-22 Hummel Kit, Club Threaten With Legal Action
Nov 3, 2021, by Chris
In early September 2021, English League Two side Newport County released their new third kit in collaboration with Newport rap group GLC. Now The Sun exclusively reports that London fashion house Burberry threatened the club with legal action that forced them to ditch the kit.
Newport County Stop Sale Of 21-22 Third Kit After Burberry Threaten Club With Legal Action
The Sun understands that Burberry almost immediately after the launch wrote to Newport County that they had breached their copyright. Newport, who do not have the money to start a legal dispute against Burberry, had no option other than to pull the kit off their website.
Fans who got their kit were told to return it
Fans who had ordered the shirt were told by County’s kit supplier Hummel they would no longer be receiving the product.
However, Newport County did not officially say that the shirt was removed from sale because of Burberry. Instead, Hummel blame production issues because of Covid-19 in a letter to the fans for the shirt being discontinued.
Hummel Claim "Production Issues" For The Shirt Being Scrapped
The few fans who did receive the 21-22 GLC third shirt in the short time before sales were stopped have even received emails asking if they would return the kit. It is understood the majority of those who own a shirt have declined to do so.
However, Hummel also say that the club will no longer be playing in this shirt during the current season. That also confirms Sun's report.
Newport will never again play in the kit
Hummel’s email to Newport supporters reads: "Unfortunately, due to Covid-related issues within our factories, raw material availability and production issues, we have now been told we will not be receiving our main bulk delivery.
"Sadly, because of this change of circumstances, the club will no longer be receiving their allocation of the Newport County 2021/22 third shirt and unfortunately will no longer be playing in this shirt during the current season. The club will not be using an alternative third kit.
"This is extremely disappointing news for the brand and all Newport AFC fans who were looking forward to seeing the shirt on the pitch."

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.
