Horrific: Milan Sells Knockoff of Own Kits for 50 Euro
Jan 31, 2024, by Phan Tich Giay
- AC Milan Selling Knockoffs: AC Milan is selling its own version of their 23-24 home kit for 50 Euros.
- Lower Quality and Price: These in-house kits lack the Puma logo and are of lower quality, resulting in a much lower price compared to authentic Puma kits.
- Potential Agreement Breach: Milan producing these kits may be outside of their agreement with Puma.
It's quite strange that AC Milan produces its own 23-24 home kit and sells them for only 50 Euros, much cheaper than the authentic Puma kit. Big thanks to The Shirt Union for this interesting spotted.
Self-produced AC Milan 23-24 Home Kit
Perhaps the fact that AC Milan produce and sell their own 23-24 home kit is outside the agreement with Puma. Therefore, these in-house Milan kits do not have the Puma logo on the right chest and the design is not as detailed as authentic Puma AC Milan kits.
Because the quality of the in-house Milan kit is not as good as the Puma authentic kit, its price is very cheap, almost 3 times cheaper than the Puma authentic kit.
Are you willing to buy a self-produced AC Milan shirt for 50 Euros?
First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
