The Inflation of Fans Who Storm Pitch to Get Kit
Nov 23, 2021, by Chris
Recent times have brought an irritating trend to football pitches - fans illegally entering the pitch to not only meet their idol but also to get their kit.
Fans Illegally Enter Pitch to Get Kit Of Players
As seen in many recent matches, fans stormed the pitches to get close to the game's superstars like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Haaland, to take a selfie and to ask for the kit. This mostly happened after the match but sometimes even during the 90 minutes, in the middle of the game.

On 24 October 2021, Lionel Messi was stopped on the counter-attack by an idiot Marseille fan.
Fans make placards asking for player's kit
The players who are the target, meanwhile, react differently. After wins, they sometimes even celebrate with the fan (Haaland), something that will not prevent fans from invading the pitch in the future.
Another trend that can be monitored is the ever-rising number of fans asking for a player's kit using self-made placards. This is of course much better and justified than storming the field.

Persepolis FC 26-27 Home Kit Released
Iranian powerhouse Persepolis FC has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The new strip is produced by domestic manufacturer Yousef Jameh, who takes over kit duties for the Tehran-based club.
The Persepolis 26-27 home shirt stays true to the club's iconic identity, combining a red body with contrasting white sleeves and red cuff trim. A subtle tonal watermark graphic depicting a Persian lion is embossed across the lower right section of the torso, while the look is rounded off with red shorts and matching red socks. Alongside the outfield kit, the club also introduced a bold goalkeeper shirt featuring an abstract black and grey brushstroke pattern.
The official reveal arrived just ahead of the club's opening fixture of the campaign, following a pre-season period where Persepolis trained in apparel from their previous technical sponsor Majid.
US Grosseto 26-27 Home & Away Kits Revealed
Italian club US Grosseto 1912 have unveiled their new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season, produced once again by Erreà.
The Grosseto 26-27 home shirt comes in the club's traditional red base, featuring a central white vertical stripe that is interrupted across the middle to accommodate the Lamioni Holding sponsor logo. The white vertical bar incorporates an intricate tone-on-tone decorative pattern, complemented by white accents on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels.
Completing the set, the Grosseto 26-27 away jersey reverses the palette with a clean white base adorned with a subtle all-over tonal feathered pattern. Red detailing appears on the collar, cuffs, and thin horizontal chest bands, while the standout element is a standalone red griffin emblem on the left chest in place of the standard club crest.
Macclesfield FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Macclesfield FC have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season, completing their wardrobe for the upcoming campaign. Produced by new technical partner DNA Sports Solutions, the shirt arrives with a bold "Back in Black" theme.
The DNA Macclesfield FC 26-27 third jersey features a black base complemented by tonal vertical stripes repeating the club's "SILKMEN" nickname down the front. Vibrant yellow and light grey paneling accentuates the sides, collar details, and sleeve cuffs, while monochromatic yellow logos, including a recolored club crest and the Duck and Cover main sponsor, finish the look.
Matching black shorts and socks with corresponding grey and yellow detailing complete the Macclesfield FC 26-27 third strip, which joins the previously released home and away kits.
Trabzonspor 26-27 Kit Features Hidden Glow-in-the-Dark Crest
A fascinating hidden detail on the new Joma Trabzonspor 26-27 black kit has caught football shirt collectors by surprise. After purchasing the official shirt from the club store, Asimingo discovered that the Trabzonspor crest is manufactured with phosphorescent, glow-in-the-dark material.
When charged under light, the badge emits an intense, bright cyan glow when placed in the dark. The effect gradually fades over several hours, functioning via standard photoluminescent pigment rather than electronic elements.
Interestingly, this unique feature was not prominently highlighted during the official marketing rollout of the shirt.
