The white shorts debacle has also been a concern among the Women's Premier League teams. In our previous report, we reveal that Manchester City Women's football team have become the latest that ditch white shorts for red ones.
Before Man City, other teams such as Stoke City and West Bromwich have also stopped wearing white shorts.

Nevertheless, the Lionesses are serious with their plan to provide comfort for the players when playing during the menstruation period.
According to FIFA's rule, England have until the end of April to submit their kit choices for the upcoming 2023 Women's World Cup, scheduled from 20 July to 20 August.
The Lionesses will need to submit two contrasting colors for their kits which must be approved by FIFA. For the time being, England Women's team will still wear their white shorts during their participation at the Arnold's Clack Cup next month.

Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Spanish Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca and technical partner Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Staying true to the club's fan-owned ethos, the designs were chosen directly by club members through an open design competition and multi-stage vote.
The Erreà Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition with a half-and-half black and white design, accented by subtle tonal vertical pinstripes across the front. Bright yellow trim details the collar and sleeve cuffs, while the back features a clean white panel with fine pinstripes to host player names and numbers.
Taking a bold and creative direction, the Unionistas 26-27 away jersey features a vibrant pink base that fades into deep navy tones towards the bottom hem. The shirt pays tribute to the local region by subtly embedding the names of all 362 municipalities in the province of Salamanca into the fabric graphic, while sleeve cuffs carry lyrics dedicated to the club's loyal travelling fanbase.
Club Legend Dida Pictured in AC Milan Home Kit

The jersey is designed by Puma and marks a return to classic style, featuring traditional thick red-and-black vertical stripes across the body. White sponsor and manufacturer logos complement the iconic colorway, along with refined collar and cuff detailing that blends heritage with modern performance aesthetics.
Seeing Dida sporting an outfield home jersey rather than his familiar goalkeeper attire was a pleasant surprise for fans, highlighting the enduring connection between the club's celebrated history and its modern visual identity.
