Definitely Not Made in an Official Factory: Disastrous DH Gate Counterfeit Chelsea 23-24 Kit
As the new Premier League season approaches, many fans already go their new kit(s). Chelsea fans can not yet, at least not an official kit. One Chelsea fan's experience with a counterfeit version of the 23-24 home kit serves as a cautionary tale.
Chelsea have set an extremely late launch date, resulting in many fans buying counterfeits
Chelsea have set a very unusual late launch date for the new kit (16 August 2023) so that it can feature the (possible soon-to-be-announed) sponsor. This certainly led many fans to buy counterfeits.
Fan Shares Disastrous Experience with Fake Nike Chelsea 23-24 Home Jersey
The fan, who goes by the username @TripCFC, shared his experience on social media. He had purchased a fake version of the kit from DH Gate, a popular online marketplace for counterfeit goods. While the official release date for the kit is August 16, 2023, TripCFC wanted to get his hands on it early.
However, the quality of the fake kit was disastrous. The iridescent logos were not placed correctly but way too low.
Fans should be careful to avoid purchasing counterfeit versions of the kit and wait for the official release.

Adidas Launches Special 26-27 Dog Kit for Real Madrid
Adidas has released a dedicated kit for dogs linked to Real Madrid. The designs adapt the club's new 2026-2027 home kit.
The collection lets fans outfit their pets to match the team's look. It builds on Adidas's growing range of pet products, including similar jerseys created for select national teams ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Arsenal Sends Kit Without Adidas Logo & Arsenal Crest
Arsenal shirt collector @NathanPanter_52 has posted images of the 26-27 home shirt bought for £136 that is missing both the Adidas logo and the club crest. The item is an official product - it is very uncommon that something like that happens.
LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
A quick color analysis of Newcastle's 26-27 home kit. It are not the colors that make this shirt bad, unlike the Madrid 26-27 kit.
