Bayern München x Dortmund Brand Drop Kit Competition
Apr 6, 2024, by Chris
- Competition Overview: FIFA Kit Creator is hosting a "Der Klassiker Brand Drop Kit Competition" challenging participants to design kits for Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund using brands other than Adidas, Nike, or Puma.
- Brand History: Bayern Munich has exclusively used Adidas logos on their kits, while Borussia Dortmund has previously used smaller brands like Pony and Kappa.
- Competition Objective: Participants should imagine and create a home, away, or third kit for either club, using alternative brands, envisioning how it would look if a different brand was their kit manufacturer.
In global football, almost all big teams are sponsored by the three big brands: Adidas, Nike, and Puma. What if a smaller brand managed to sign German giants Bayern or Dortmund?

FC Bayern Munich has been associated with Adidas ever since its kits featured a brand logo. Meanwhile, BVB has had short periods during its history with smaller brands (Pony - 1983-84) & Kappa - (2009-2012) and even in-house (2000-2004).
Der Klassiker Brand Drop Kit Competition - Bayern/Dortmund Kit By Smaller Brand
For this challenge, participants are tasked with crafting a home, away, or third kit for either FC Bayern or Borussia Dortmund using brands other than Adidas, Nike, or Puma.
Bayern kits never featured another brand logo than the one of Adidas - 2024 marks 50 years since the Adidas logo first appeared on Bayern's kit
For example, a New Balance or Kappa kit for Bayern or a Castore football kit for Dortmund. Yes, it looks particularly strange to a non-Adidas Bayern Munich kit - but an Italian brand for Bayern Munich in particular has a great flair (Munich is sometimes referred to as the northernmost city in Italy).

No More Volt: Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 Third Kit Released
Brazilian club Santa Cruz FC and Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "A Profecia de 57", the special-edition release celebrates two defining moments in the club's history: the 1957 anthem written by Capiba that coined the nickname "O Terror do Nordeste", and the 2016 Copa do Nordeste title that fulfilled the prophecy ten years ago.
The Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 third jersey introduces an elegant black and gold design. Across the black base, intricate golden fractured lines trace the geographical outline of Brazil's Northeast region. The front of the shirt features Santa Cruz's classic interlocking SCFC monogram badge rendered in metallic gold, mirrored by Reebok's vector logo on the opposite side. A sharp v-neck collar with gold trim and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look.
Subtle commemorative emblems highlighting "A Profecia de 57" and "O Terror do Nordeste" decorate the release alongside gold numbering on the reverse. Matching black shorts and socks with gold accents complete the new Santa Cruz third uniform.
Club Africain 26-27 Third Kit Released
Following the unveiling of their home kit earlier two weeks ago, Tunisian giants Club Africain and technical sponsor Kelme have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign.
The Kelme Club Africain 26-27 third jersey delivers a sleek and stealthy design, featuring a black base elevated by an intricate tonal graphic pattern with calligraphic undertones across the front and sleeves. Strong contrast comes via the classic fold-over collar, styled in red with thin white tipping, matched by solid red sleeve cuffs. Below the rear collar, the shirt includes the club motto "Beyond the last breath" stamped in red.
The shirt is finished with white details for the Kelme paw logo and front sponsor Ooredoo, sitting alongside the traditional red and white Club Africain crest. Matching black shorts and socks complete the full look for the Tunisian side.

Boca Juniors Tribute: Sint-Truiden 26-27 European Kit Released
Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truidense VV has officially unveiled its new European kit for the 26-27 season, produced by regional brand Olympic. The special strip was revealed during the premiere of the club documentary 'Expeditie Kanarie: de weg naar Europa' at CC De Bogaard, celebrating STVV's historic first qualification for the main stages of European competition in club history.
The Olympic Sint-Truiden 26-27 European jersey draws heavy inspiration from Boca Juniors while paying tribute to the club's iconic late-1980s 'BT-shirt'. It features a royal blue base highlighted by a bold yellow horizontal chest band that accommodates the Maruhan sponsor logo. The STVV crest and Olympic branding are centered neatly above the chest stripe, complemented by yellow trim along the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Matching blue shorts and yellow socks complete the look.
Sint-Truiden will wear the new kit throughout their 26-27 UEFA Conference League league phase campaign, where their fixtures include matchups against Ajax, Hajduk Split, SK Brann, FC Midtjylland, FC Lugano, and FC Iberia 1999 Tbilisi.
