In early January 2023, it was revealed that the Russian Football Union (RFU) are looking to domestic manufacturers to provide new uniforms following the end of their partnership with Adidas. Now the Russian sportswear manufacturer called Zasport have expressed their willingness to work with the RFU.
Zasport have strong connections to the government, apparently
The story was revealed via the state-owned TASS Russian News Agency, which makes it likely that it could soon be official.
Zasport to Become Russia Kit Maker
The CEO of Zasport, Vitaly Tsygankov, has stated that the company are "ready to cooperate" and meet the RFU's needs. He also told TASS that Zasport are "ready to hold talks in the near future".

The Macron Incheon United 2026 third jersey features a striking vibrant blue base inspired by Incheon's sky and sea, accented by subtle vertical stripes that create a textured, dynamic effect under stadium lights and player movement. Contrast white sleeves represent crashing waves on the ocean, complemented by black and blue line details on the collar, shoulders, and sleeve cuffs to honor the club's traditional identity. Continuing Incheon's inclusivity initiative, the jersey also incorporates tactile Braille notation beneath the club crest for visually impaired supporters.
The kit will make its on-pitch debut on August 2 in Incheon United's K League 1 away fixture against Jeju SK, and it will be worn across away matches throughout the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
Bizarre Vinted Listing Offers Cut-Up Mbappe France Shirt Parts
A bizarre secondhand listing has caught the attention of the football shirt community after a seller on Vinted put individual cut-out parts of a Kylian Mbappe France kit up for sale. Highlighted on social media by kit enthusiast account @ruinedshirts, the listing titled "Mbappe France shirt parts" features various branding and detail elements literally cut out from the original jersey fabric.
The listing includes individual cutouts of the French Football Federation crest topped with two stars, Nike's Swoosh, Mbappe's number 10, and official FIFA tournament patches. Rather than attempting to sell or repair the shirt as a whole, the seller opted to completely dismantle it and offer the individual details as separate components.
While secondhand marketplaces frequently feature damaged or heavily worn kits, offering literal fabric scraps cut directly from a shirt has sparked widespread amusement among collectors. Whether listed as a joke or aimed at custom kit creators, it stands as one of the most unusual shirt listings seen online.
