Nike Consider Keeping Home Kits for 2 Seasons
Jun 22, 2022, by Chris
Nike could make an important change for the football kit industry, info from PSG kit insiders @lasource75006 suggests.
Nike "Are Seriously Considering Offering a Home Kit For Two Years"
Nike's nine elite teams get a new bespoke home kit every season, just as almost all teams in football currently.
Nike "are seriously considering offering a home jersey for several clubs including PSG, which would be worn for 2 years", according to @lasource75006.
Teams had been keeping their home kits for several years until the 1990s/early 2000s
It has been common for football teams to keep their jerseys for several years until the 1990s. Since then, teams started to release three new kits every year. Nike were surely a trendsetter of yearly kit releases back then.
There would be several advantages if teams would release no new home kit every year, and of course, also disadvantages.
It would be a good step from an ecological point of view
Advantages include the ecological point of view as well as the wallet of fans. Disadvantages include that teams might wear an unpopular home kit for two years and that brands/teams could make less money.
Recently, several smaller teams announced that they will carry over kits for the next season, including Brentford and Hull City.
US teams change uniforms much less often
In the US, sports teams change the design of their jerseys as well but not nearly as regular as it is in soccer. For example, most NFL teams keep their uniforms for several years.
Would you like teams to keep their home kit for more than just a year? Comment below.
Napoli Women 26-27 Away Kit Released
Following the launch of their ocean-themed home strip, Napoli Women have unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 season. Produced in partnership with Swedish brand Craft and creative agency Modì, the jersey represents the second chapter of the club's "Dagli abissi al cielo" (From the abyss to the sky) narrative concept.
The design draws unique inspiration from Urania, the Neapolitan protagonist of Ernesto Capocci's 1857 proto-science fiction novella about the first woman to journey to the Moon. Capocci, a famed astronomer and former director of Naples' Capodimonte Observatory, penned the story nearly a decade before Jules Verne. To reflect this lunar theme, the shirt adopts muted gray and lilac tones paired with a crater-like lunar soil texture across the raglan sleeves, side panels, and shorts. A crisp white panel on the upper back features the inscription "To the Moon," while the chest carries Napoli Women's new emblem rendered in pearl-white 3D PVC.

Rounded off with dark shorts and socks featuring Fagan & Whalley branding, the new alternate strip is now available to purchase through the club's online store and physical retail shop.
