Saint-Etienne Loïc Perrin Tribute Shirt
This picture shows Loic Perrin wearing the tribute jersey.
The Le Coq Sportif Saint-Etienne Loïc Perrin tribute shirt celebrates the club legend Loïc Perrin, who is now the club's ambassador.
As expected, the design of the jersey is inspired by the special jersey worn by ASSE in the French Cup final in 2020.
Beyond that, the design tells the history of Perrin's extraordinary career that spanned a total of 17 seasons at the club. Details include illustrations of Perrin celebrating his first goal for the club in 2005 as well as the 2013 Coupe de la Ligue title. The names of all 205 team-mates of Perrin appear inside the number 24 on the back.
That was also Loïc Perrin's last match for the club. Although it ended way too early for him as he received a red card for a brutal tackle on Mbappe in the 1st half.
Only 470 units, Perrin's total appearance for Saint-Etienne, will be available for purchase. A private event will be held on 24/11/2021 for the first 24 (Perrin's number) buyers of the shirt. The Le Coq Sportif Saint-Etienne Loïc Perrin tribute shirt retails at €99. It's already sold out, just a few hours after it was launched.

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.
