Süle Wears Replica Version of Dortmund 22-23 Home Shirt
Süle has been wearing replica shirts for the last few games. This can be seen thanks to various seams that are only part of the replica edition.
Other differences between the replica and authentic edition of the BVB 22-23 kits are the cut, the materials used, and the sizes available. The replica BVB 22-23 home kit is available up to Size 4XL, while the authentic one is only available up to XXL.
Süle has struggled with being overweight often
It is not known why Süle chose to wear the replica version, but it is likely related to the player's high weight and size. Niklas Süle apparently prefers to wear a more baggy fit.
Indeed, Süle started the 22-23 season wearing the authentic Ultraweave kit, while he switched to the replica during the campaign.
For the German national team, Niklas Süle is wearing the authentic Adidas Heat.Rdy version.
What do you think the reasons are for Süle to wear the replica edition? Have you spotted any other players who are not wearing the authentic versions of kits? Comment below.
Mexico Ruins Retro EQT Jacket with Sponsor Placement
The Adidas Mexico 2026 World Cup EQT track jacket has officially made its real-world debut, but the on-player reality has left many fans disappointed, as highlighted by Tigres and Mexico kit experts @TigersJersey.
While the core design faithfully recreates the iconic 1990s Equipment aesthetic with its bold black, green, white, and red color-blocking, the Mexican Football Federation has plastered the front of the garment with corporate sponsors. The logos for AT&T, Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Caliente.mx have been heavily applied across the midsection, disrupting the 3 bars.
This is surely because of sponsor guidelines and contracts, but they should have find a better solution here.
