Zenit x Nike Kit Deal Suspended - Nike's Swoosh Hidden Behind Sponsor Logo
Aug 22, 2022, by Simon
Zenit Saint Petersburg currently has to deal with a suspension of their Nike deal since they actively cover the Swoosh on the right chest, and they also did not release any new kits for the 2022-23 campaign yet.
Interestingly, Zenit was also excluded from participating in European club competitions further isolating them alongside all other Russian football clubs and reducing their income streams. This is a direct response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Zenit Saint Petersburg still wears their old 21-22 home shirt, which was originally made by Nike. However, the American sportswear giant does not want to be associated with Zenit Saint Petersburg anymore.

Thus, the Russian club was forced to cover up Nike's Swoosh on the right chest to hide the affiliation for the time being. This issue will not be resolved as long as the kit deal with Nike is suspended or Zenit Saint Petersburg finds a new shirt supplier.
Funnily enough, another Russian club called Ural Yekaterinburg already released their 22-23 football shirts, which are made by Nike.

No More Hummel: Stimulus Puerto Rico 2026 Home & Away Kits Released
The Puerto Rican Football Federation (FPF) has officially launched its new home and away kits for the 26-27 cycle, marking the beginning of a technical partnership with American sportswear brand Stimulus Athletic. The Minneapolis-based custom kit maker takes over the apparel duties for El Huracán Azul, officially replacing previous supplier Hummel.
The new home shirt boasts a bold geometric pattern in deep blue and black shades, inspired by the historic cobblestones of Old San Juan alongside the luminous glow of Puerto Rico's world-famous bioluminescent bays. The striking mosaic extends across the entire front and sleeves, complemented by subtle teal accents along the collar and cuff trims. Black shorts and blue socks complete the primary uniform.
In contrast, the away jersey provides a crisp white design adorned with details drawn directly from the national flag. It features dynamic red striping down the flanks that fades into a digital gradient towards the hem, flanked by cyan and red accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs. Both shirts are available for $80 through the official FPF online store, alongside dedicated goalkeeper versions.

Chattanooga Red Wolves Reveal Vibrant Hispanic Heritage Pre-Match Shirt
USL League One club Chattanooga Red Wolves SC have unveiled a striking special-edition warm-up top in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Worn ahead of the club's annual Hispanic Heritage Night celebrations, the design pays homage to the rich cultural contributions and traditions of the Hispanic and Latino communities within the local area and across the sport.
Set against an off-white base, the standout feature of the shirt is a massive howling wolf graphic across the front. The silhouette of the club's emblem is brought to life through intricate Mesoamerican and folk art motifs, filled with vibrant shades of teal, red, yellow, orange, and violet. Matching cultural diamond patterns run down the red side panels, while the sleeve cuffs are detailed with horizontal sequences representing various Latin American flags.
The reverse side continues the celebratory theme with a sun wheel and mythological fauna gracing the upper back. Centered below is the club's rallying cry, "DALE LOBOS," printed in a bold red textured font and framed by geometric borders.
