Adidas, Nike & Puma Must Release Better Keeper Kits
Aug 19, 2022, by Chris
In the 2022-2023 season, we might have reached rock bottom when it comes to goalkeeper jerseys, at least those of the three big brands - Adidas, Nike, and Puma.
Adidas, Nike & Puma 22-23 Goalkeeper Jerseys
All teams sponsored by Adidas, Nike, or Puma receive the same goalkeeper template. But not only that - Adidas and Nike do not even offer bespoke colorways, while Nike at least gave Liverpool a custom purple paint job.
This stands in stark contrast to the 1990s, when goalkeeper shirts were not only more eye-catching but also bespoke for teams like Newcastle.
However, there is a ray of hope for fans of goalie kits. Smaller brands like Castore, Errea, Hummel and Jako have designed bespoke keeper kits for the 22-23 season.

For the 2022 World Cup, Adidas will again use a streamlined template for all teams. Nike, meanwhile, have designed a bespoke keeper shirt for Brazil. It remains to be seen if other nations will get bespoke keeper shirts as well.

Special Busan IPark 2026 Retro Kit Released
South Korean K League 2 side Busan IPark have officially unveiled a special retro collection in collaboration with Puma and Korean lifestyle label House of Nangman.

The special Puma Busan IPark 2026 retro shirt draws inspiration from the 2004 kit, featuring a bold red and white quartered body with black raglan sleeves and a classic black polo collar.

A stitched “Heritage Project” jock tag and “낭만” (Nangman) lettering on the back neck add further character, while the collection is completed by a vintage-style zip track jacket featuring collaborative embroidered details.

LNZ Cherkasy 26-27 Third Kit Released
Ukrainian Premier League side LNZ Cherkasy and Italian brand Macron have unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The shirt features an entirely bespoke concept deeply rooted in Ukrainian literary heritage and the local culture of Cherkasy.
The Macron LNZ Cherkasy 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black with striking purple and glowing accents. Across the jersey, subtle graphics depict iconic local landmarks of Cherkasy alongside waves of the Dnipro River, flying seagulls, and a starry night backdrop. It also incorporates prominent tributes to Ukraine's most revered poets, displaying lines from Taras Shevchenko alongside a depiction of a Kobzar playing the traditional bandura, as well as poetic verses from Vasyl Symonenko.
White Macron branding, sponsor logos, and a crisp white club badge complete the design on the chest, creating a sharp contrast against the dark base. The new third strip joins LNZ Cherkasy's unique kit set for the 26-27 campaign.
