British Teams Wear Poppy on 23-24 Kits
Nov 6, 2023, by Chris
- Poppy Shirts: Many British football teams wore poppy-adorned shirts last weekend to support the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
- 2023 Poppy Design: The 2023 British Legion Poppy is unique, featuring the year '2023' for the first time, whereas previous poppies had no year.
- Kit Availability: Match-worn poppy kits will be auctioned, while standard kits with the 2023 poppy can be purchased.
Many British teams wore the poppy on their shirts last weekend, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, Manchester City, Rangers and many others. Most teams wore the streamlined, dated poppy provided by the Royal British Legion, but some wore a slightly different poppy and/or added more detail. We also saw some different poppies in Scotland.
Many British football clubs will be supporting the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal 2023 by wearing poppy shirts to mark Remembrance Day this and next weekend.
All previous poppies came without a year
2023 British Legion Poppy Badge
The 2023 British Legion Poppy is different from previous years. For the first time, the poppy has a year - 2023. Previous poppies came without a year.
We already get a look at many of the 2023-2024 Poppy football kits. What is odd is that Liverpool released images on their website that show Virgil van Dijk wearing a different poppy, without the year. It remains to be seen which Poppy Liverpool will use in the match - the Women's have the dated Poppy.
What do you think of the year added to the poppy? Let us know in the comments below.
Persepolis FC 26-27 Home Kit Released
Iranian powerhouse Persepolis FC has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The new strip is produced by domestic manufacturer Yousef Jameh, who takes over kit duties for the Tehran-based club.
The Persepolis 26-27 home shirt stays true to the club's iconic identity, combining a red body with contrasting white sleeves and red cuff trim. A subtle tonal watermark graphic depicting a Persian lion is embossed across the lower right section of the torso, while the look is rounded off with red shorts and matching red socks. Alongside the outfield kit, the club also introduced a bold goalkeeper shirt featuring an abstract black and grey brushstroke pattern.
The official reveal arrived just ahead of the club's opening fixture of the campaign, following a pre-season period where Persepolis trained in apparel from their previous technical sponsor Majid.
US Grosseto 26-27 Home & Away Kits Revealed
Italian club US Grosseto 1912 have unveiled their new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season, produced once again by Erreà.
The Grosseto 26-27 home shirt comes in the club's traditional red base, featuring a central white vertical stripe that is interrupted across the middle to accommodate the Lamioni Holding sponsor logo. The white vertical bar incorporates an intricate tone-on-tone decorative pattern, complemented by white accents on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels.
Completing the set, the Grosseto 26-27 away jersey reverses the palette with a clean white base adorned with a subtle all-over tonal feathered pattern. Red detailing appears on the collar, cuffs, and thin horizontal chest bands, while the standout element is a standalone red griffin emblem on the left chest in place of the standard club crest.
Macclesfield FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Macclesfield FC have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season, completing their wardrobe for the upcoming campaign. Produced by new technical partner DNA Sports Solutions, the shirt arrives with a bold "Back in Black" theme.
The DNA Macclesfield FC 26-27 third jersey features a black base complemented by tonal vertical stripes repeating the club's "SILKMEN" nickname down the front. Vibrant yellow and light grey paneling accentuates the sides, collar details, and sleeve cuffs, while monochromatic yellow logos, including a recolored club crest and the Duck and Cover main sponsor, finish the look.
Matching black shorts and socks with corresponding grey and yellow detailing complete the Macclesfield FC 26-27 third strip, which joins the previously released home and away kits.
Trabzonspor 26-27 Kit Features Hidden Glow-in-the-Dark Crest
A fascinating hidden detail on the new Joma Trabzonspor 26-27 black kit has caught football shirt collectors by surprise. After purchasing the official shirt from the club store, Asimingo discovered that the Trabzonspor crest is manufactured with phosphorescent, glow-in-the-dark material.
When charged under light, the badge emits an intense, bright cyan glow when placed in the dark. The effect gradually fades over several hours, functioning via standard photoluminescent pigment rather than electronic elements.
Interestingly, this unique feature was not prominently highlighted during the official marketing rollout of the shirt.
