No More Joma: Puma Lokomotiv Plovdiv 26-27 Centenary Home, Away and Third Kits Released
Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Plovdiv have officially unveiled their new 26-27 home, away and third kits, made by Puma. This release marks the start of a new three-year technical partnership with the brand, replacing their previous kit supplier Joma.

The Puma Lokomotiv Plovdiv 26-27 home shirt features a predominantly black base enhanced by fine white pinstripes.
