Karlsruhe to Let Fans Design 23-24 Third Kit
May 17, 2022, by John
We have news from the German 2. Bundesliga as Karlsruher SC have announced a kit design contest. They want fans and amateur designers to submit their visions for the club's 2023-24 third shirt.
Kit Contest for 23-24 Third Jersey
KSC have already opened the entry phase of their kit design contest. They want particapants (anyone can participate) to design them a suitable third shirt for the 2023-24 season, but there are certain parameters.
Firstly, the proposed designs will obviously have to abide by the DFL's kit regulations. Another condition is that the shirt heavily features yellow and red, the colors of Karlruhe's region, Baden.
Looking back at previous years shows that KSC have been doing this regularly. Due to DFL regulations, the shirt will not be allowed to feature any blue or white, since these will be used for the other two 23-24 kits.
Moreover, designs must of course incorporate the pre-defined sponsor logos, which are already included in the blank Macron KSC template. The placement of these cannot be altered.
All designs must be submitted by June 3, 2022, after which a jury made up of Macron and KSC representatives as well as players decides on a selection of possible winners. According to the club all entries will be taken into consideration.
At the beginning of July 2022, the selection of best designs will be sent to the DFL for verification. KSC have already warned that some very nice designs may be denied during this process.
After confirmation through the DFL is granted, fans will get to vote on the Karlsruhe 23-24 third kit from 3 final options. The vote and result will occur this July.
More information on how to enter and what the rules are can be found under fantrikot2324.ksc.de.

Venezia and Rapid Wien Release Special Collaborative Kit
Venezia FC and SK Rapid have unveiled two special limited-edition jerseys to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the historic friendship between their supporters and clubs. The twinning, which officially traces back to January 15, 2000, was commemorated on the pitch during an international friendly at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, with both sides wearing the bespoke designs.
The collaboration includes two distinct shirts designed in close cooperation with the fan groups. The black Unione jersey features an all-over diamond jacquard pattern, complemented by Venezia's orange and green checkerboard on the right shoulder and Rapid's green and white stripes on the left. The white Unione shirt presents a split look blending green and orange accents with line illustrations of iconic architectural landmarks from both Venice and Vienna, including the Doge's Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Both designs place the lion of Saint Mark and the Austrian eagle crests side by side above the date 15.01.2000.
During the friendly match on the Venetian lagoon, the hosts wore the black kit while Rapid took to the pitch in the white version, with Venezia edging a 1-0 victory. The limited-edition jerseys have been made available to supporters through Venezia's official online store and physical club shops.
Unique Jordan PSG 26-27 Third Goalkeeper Kit Leaked - Inspired by Bernard Lama
The striking new goalkeeper jersey from the upcoming Paris Saint-Germain x Jordan third collection has leaked courtesy of PSG insider @lasource75006. Scheduled to drop in the coming weeks alongside the club's 26-27 third player kit, the long-sleeve piece pays direct homage to iconic former Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Bernard Lama.
The Jordan PSG 26-27 third goalkeeper shirt draws inspiration from the distinctive Nike template worn by Lama during the 1997-98 season. It features a vibrant red base with sharp black vertical stripes tapering upward from the lower hem. The long sleeves are adorned with dynamic graphic streaks in shades of purple, blue, and black, perfectly channeling the flamboyant goalkeeper aesthetics of the late 1990s.
Gold detailing rounds off the design, highlighted by a centrally aligned Jordan Jumpman sitting above a monochrome Paris Saint-Germain crest and the Qatar Airways chest sponsor.
