Ridiculous: Belgian Team Forced to Improvise Kit With Tape and Marker Pen In Kit Clash
Mar 12, 2023, by Chris
Something who wouldn't expect in Belgium's first division happened this weekend - while there was first a massive kit clash, later several players were forced to use pen and tape to fix their kits.
Kit Clash Results in DIY Kits in Seraing vs Royal Antwerp Juplier Pro League Match
Seraing FC team were playing at home against Royal Antwerp. However, both teams wore red/black home jerseys, making it hard to distinguish both teams.
In Belgium, it is reported that Royal Antwerp are responsible for the clash, as they would have agreed that they would come with "Dark Blue" kit, but they did not take it with them for whatever reason.
Royal Antwerp had reportedly agreed that they would come with "Dark Blue" kit
All of Royal Antwerp's 22-23 kits include some red, so they all at least partly clash with Seraing's jerseys.
In halftime, Seraing decided to switch to their away shirts. However, not all players had their own away shirts, leading to some innovative solutions involving tape and marker pen to get the correct player names and numbers.
Antwerp are using the official La Liga font
Seraing's captain taped the number 28 in a clever way to make it number 23.
Now with Seraing wearing a white kit, the Antwerp goalkeeper had to change his shirt to avoid clashing with Seraing’s new colors. To make matters worse, it was not even his own shirt. The game ended with Antwerp winning 2-0, and Seraing occupying the bottom place in the Jupiler Pro League.
This story is obviously ridiculous, and I don't prefer to talk about it
In an interview after the game, Seraing player Christophe Lepoint said about the situation. "This story is obviously ridiculous, and I don't prefer to talk about it. I actually laugh about it. At the break, I said that it was up to Antwerp to put on their white jersey because it was not us to do so given that we were at home."
Did you expect such unprofessionalism in Belgian's first division? Let us know in the comments below.

The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.

A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
