Austria Wien Forced to Release One-Off Kit
Nov 3, 2022, by John
- Austria Wien One-Off Kit: Austria Wien was forced to wear a plain, white one-off kit in their Europa Conference League game due to a kit clash with their opponent, Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
- Ludogorets One-Off Kit: Ludogorets also wore a white, one-off kit in their match against Roma, although the reason for the change was not as clear as for Austria Wien.
- UEFA Kit Regulations: The requirement for Austria Wien to wear the one-off kit is due to UEFA's strict kit regulations aimed at avoiding color clashes.
We have kit news from the Europa Conference League as it seems that Austria Wien were forced to release a one-off kit today. They played Hapoel Be’er Scheva away and lost 4-0.
Austria Wien 22-23 One-off Kit
This is the Austria Wien 2022-23 one-off shirt, made by Nike.
The Nike Austria Wien 2022-23 one-off shirt is as simple as it gets, based on the Park VII template. What is basically a white t-shirt has all the proper logos printed on it, along with a black Swoosh.
White shorts and socks complete the new Nike Austria Wien 2022-2023 one-off kit.
The reason for wearing this kit is likely due to the red on Austria Wien's away kit clashing with Hapoel's home shirt. The simple one-off kit avoids this problem, which originates from UEFA's strict kit regulations.
Ludogorets Wear Same One-Off Kit
Oddly enough, Ludogorets also wore a one-off kit in today's 3-1 loss at Roma.
The Nike Ludogorets Razgrad 2022-23 one-off jersey is also based on the Park VII teamwear shirt in white. It also comes without a main sponsor, just like the other kits the club have worn in the Europa League this season.
The reason behind this kit release is not as clear, as the black on the sleeves of Ludogorets' 22-23 away shirt does not properly clash with Roma's home kit.
Unlike with Austria Wien's situation, we cannot say for certain whether or not UEFA had a hand in this matter.
What do you make of the Austria Wien's and Ludogorets' one-off kits? Should they just have worn their regular away shirts? Comment below.
Bayern Munich Unveil Special Dragon Font for Hong Kong Pre-Season Match
FC Bayern Munich has revealed a special-edition nameset for their 26-27 home kit, created specifically for their pre-season Audi Summer Tour match against Aston Villa in Hong Kong. The one-off design updates the back of the home shirt as part of the German champions' pre-season tour activities across Asia.
The centerpiece of the special lettering is an intricate golden dragon motif incorporated directly into the numbers on the back of the jersey. While the dragon artwork decorates the numbers, the player names and top FC Bayern text retain the standard white colorway. In addition, the kit features a match detail inscription reading Audi Summer Tour 2026 placed centrally on the chest between the adidas logo and the club crest.
This limited-edition Hong Kong font is not receiving a wide global release. Instead, Bayern Munich is offering the special print exclusively through their local pop-up stores and authorized partner locations in Greater China during the tour.

Built on Kappa's classic Kombat cut with a relaxed silhouette, the jersey combines nostalgia with modern performance fabrics. The FK Partizan 26-27 third kit is available now through the club's official webshop and official stores.

Inspired by Mario Balotelli: Michelle Alozie's Unique Mismatched Boot Game
Nigerian international and Chicago Stars defender Michelle Alozie continues to stand out on the pitch with one of the most distinctive boot choices in modern football. Known for wearing mismatched boots on either foot, Alozie frequently pairs contrasting colorways of top-tier Nike models during official matches for both club and country. Big thanks to vsrsus.
The inspiration behind her two-tone boot style stems from former Italian striker Mario Balotelli, who famously popularized odd-colored footwear during the 2014 World Cup. Alozie has cited Balotelli as a major childhood influence, adopting his bold self-expression on the field. Her boot rotation regularly features contrasting Nike Phantom GX 2 and Phantom Luna 2 colorways, as well as mismatched Nike Mercurial Superfly boots combining blackout and vibrant seasonal releases.
Alozie's boot selection has become a signature element of her visual identity on the pitch, proving that personal style and elite performance go hand in hand. By wearing different colorways on each foot, the Super Falcons star maintains one of the most unique boot setups in modern football.
