Football Activist Aims To Brings 1,000 Kits To Children This Christmas
Nov 13, 2021, by Khoi
Founded by football coach and activist Paul Watson, Kitmas is a campaign that looks to bring happiness to many young football fans this upcoming Christmas.
Kitmas Collecting & Distributing Football Shirts For Children
The organisation collects second-hand football shirts that are in excellent condition.
It then sends the shirts to food bank or children's centre to ensure these jerseys will be in the hands of children in need.
People can get involve through both money and shirts donation. The money will be used for purchase of new shirts.
Another way is creating another Kitmas branch on Crowdfunder. This is more suitable for community football clubs and organisations as they will buy and distribute the shirts themselves.
So far, Kitmas has raised over £1000 on Crowdfunder. Meanwhile, Paul is also receiving support from his brother Mark, who is a stand-up comedian. Kitmas will run until 8 December 2021.
Excited to say we’re running #Kitmas again this year! In 2020 we gave 1,000 football shirts to children who may not otherwise have had Christmas presents. This year there’s the option to donate shirts, money, or to set up your own #Kitmas in the community. https://t.co/psXfw2EQr5

Amiens SC Add Pink Details to 26-27 Home Kit for Pink October
French side Amiens SC have introduced a special update to their 26-27 Puma home kit in support of the annual Octobre Rose (Pink October) breast cancer awareness and screening campaign. Debuted during their 3-0 victory against FC Villefranche at the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne, the club's traditional black-and-white halved home strip was revamped with vibrant pink details.
The customized kit features eye-catching pink names and squad numbers on the back, along with pink-tinted sponsor graphics, including Intersport and Igol. Completing the tribute is a small pink ribbon placed prominently on the right chest just above the Puma cat branding.
Amiens SC confirmed that the special pink printing is not a one-match appearance; the team will also wear the modified kit during their upcoming away match against Valenciennes FC later this month.
Alianza Universidad 2026 Special Kit Released
Peruvian club Alianza Universidad de Huánuco and local manufacturer Real Sport have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit for the 2026 season. Launched under the slogan "Vestimos nuestra fe" (We wear our faith), the release embraces Peru's deep-rooted October tradition of donning purple to pay homage to religious heritage, specifically honoring the Señor de Burgos, the patron saint of Huánuco.
The Real Sport Alianza Universidad 2026 special shirt swaps the team's customary red and blue palette for a striking purple and white striped look. It features bold purple vertical stripes across the front, complemented by a purple crew neck and matching sleeve trim on white sleeves. On the upper back sits an intricate graphic badge depicting the Señor de Burgos, accompanied by the inscription "Rey y Patrón de Huánuco", while squad numbers are rendered in gold with purple outlines.
The special edition kit is set to make its on-pitch debut during October Liga 2 action and is currently available via pre-order through the club's official channels.
Adidas Reuses Spain’s 2026 Training Kits
During recent UEFA Nations League training sessions, Spain was spotted using old training jerseys with one star removed and two additional stars printed above the logo. The imprint of the old star remains visible on the shirts.
This case is reminiscent of another interesting situation involving the Argentina futsal team at the 2021 Futsal World Cup. Despite being the defending champions, Argentina was not provided bespoke kits by Adidas and had to use standard jerseys, from which two stars were removed and replaced with one, as they had only won the Futsal World Cup once.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collages.
