Whole Buriram United Team Wear Goalkeeper Shirt to Avoid Kit Clash
A very unusual kit occurrence happened in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday night as Buriram United wore their goalkeeper strip against Daegu FC.

Fittingly, some of the players also opted to wear gloves
Predictably, a kit clash was at the heart of the strange decision. Daegu were the home side on the night and their home and away colours of sky blue and white are both too close to Buriram’s sky blue away kit.
Buriram’s home kit is a dark navy blue, which in reality probably would have been fairly distinguishable from the much paler blue home shirt of Daegu, but the Thai side erred on the side of caution and so all ten first team players togged out in the club’s orange and black “1st” goalkeeper kit. The glovesman himself wore his green change strip.
The dilemma must have been taken into consideration well beforehand, as it is doubtful that many teams would travel to an away game with ten spare goalkeeper shirts, or even more for the substitutes.
The game finished 0-0 after extra time and looked to be heading to penalties when Bolingi scored what seemed destined to be the winner for Buriram United 119th minute, only to see his strikel cancelled out by an equaliser in the 121st minute. And so, penalties it was. Somewhat ironically, the team of goalies lost the shootout 3-2.

No More Volt: Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 Third Kit Released
Brazilian club Santa Cruz FC and Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "A Profecia de 57", the special-edition release celebrates two defining moments in the club's history: the 1957 anthem written by Capiba that coined the nickname "O Terror do Nordeste", and the 2016 Copa do Nordeste title that fulfilled the prophecy ten years ago.
The Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 third jersey introduces an elegant black and gold design. Across the black base, intricate golden fractured lines trace the geographical outline of Brazil's Northeast region. The front of the shirt features Santa Cruz's classic interlocking SCFC monogram badge rendered in metallic gold, mirrored by Reebok's vector logo on the opposite side. A sharp v-neck collar with gold trim and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look.
Subtle commemorative emblems highlighting "A Profecia de 57" and "O Terror do Nordeste" decorate the release alongside gold numbering on the reverse. Matching black shorts and socks with gold accents complete the new Santa Cruz third uniform.
