The New Venezia? - Gorgeous Athens Kallithea 22-23 Home & Away Kits Released
Greek second division club Athens Kallithea 1966 have revealed their new home and away kits, and they have taken more than one leaf out of Venezia FC's book in the process.
Athens Kallithea 1966 - The New Venezia?
There is a good reason for the resemblance between the aesthetic of these kits and those of Venezia FC. Aside from the fact they are both made by Kappa and have simplistic but luxurious styling, they were both designed by the German design agency, Bureau Borsche.

This is not by coincidence either, but thanks to the work of Ted Philipakos at both clubs. Formerly CEO and now Chief Marketing Officer of Venezia, he is also president of the Athens club and was one of the founders of creative agency Fly Nowhere. His input and decision making on the creative side of things behind the scenes has played a major part in Venezia's rise from relative unknowns to one of the coolest clubs in the world.
It seems Philipakos is applying the tried and tested Venezia formula to Athens Kallithea. Similarly classy shirts and launches akin to fashion shoots aside, they have adopted a whole new visual identity. The Greek side have updated their badge to a golden letter-based version, redesigned their website in the exact style of Venezia's (both also the work of Bureau Borsche) and launched sleek, carefully-curated social media accounts.
Philipakos has the experience, know-how, and the contacts and to turn a "small" club into one that punches well above its weight, at least in the marketing department. In Venice and Athens, he has two of the most culturally and historically rich cities in the world to draw inspiration from and work into the clubs' respective narratives and design stories. We expect to hear plenty more about Athens Kallithea from here on out. Check out the new kits below.

Once again, Kappa's logo and the club badge are gold on the Kappa Athens Kallithea 22-23 away football shirt, with an Omini logo on each sleeve.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
