RB Leipzig 22-23 Special-Edition "Leipzig On Fire" Kit Released
Feb 12, 2023, by Pat
Update: RB Leipzig’s special-edition kit, dubbed the "Leipzig on Fire" kit, was debuted in their home match against second-placed Union Berlin. Despite high expectations, Leipzig suffered a disappointing 1-2 loss, marking their first home loss of the season.
The kit was not popular among many due to the 🔥 on the back ("Leipzig on 🔥") emoji on the back. It looked less interesting than in the launch pictures from the front, as only the sides had the fire design.
Bundesliga club Leipzig today presented their new limited-edition kit, "Leipzig on Fire", which will be worn in the match against Union Berlin this Saturday.
In case you missed it, Leipzig are set to switch kit suppliers from Nike to Puma in 2024.
RB Leipzig 22-23 Limited-Edition Kit
This is the new Nike RB Leipzig "Leipzig on Fire" limited-edition shirt for 22-23.
The Nike RB Leipzig 2022-2023 limited-edition shirt introduces a unique design in white with fiery graphics.
The theme of the Nike RB Leipzig 22-23 limited-edition shirt is "Leipzig on Fire", as can be seen from the text on the upper back, just below the collar. The look is inspired by a chant song by the Leipzig supporters to the melody of "Freed From Desire" by Gala Rizzatto.
In the case of the Nike RasenBallsport Leipzig 2022-23 special-edition shirt, the design is applied as a print on a blank Nike Park VII jersey (€23) rather than a bespoke production by Nike.
Available since February 10, the Nike Leipzig 2022-23 limited-edition jersey retails at €89.95. €30 from each sale will be donated to the victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The club pledged to double the donation.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
