Ecuador Puts Makeshift Box On Kits to Avoid Kit Rule Violation
Apr 30, 2024, by Chris
- Kit Violation: Ecuador's original 2024 home kit had a two-color design (yellow front, navy back) that violated FIFA regulations.
- Makeshift Solution: To comply, Ecuador added a yellow box to the navy back of the kit.
- Uncertainty Remains: It's unclear if the yellow box will be used in the 2024 Copa América or if a fully yellow back will be implemented.
As we predicted, Ecuador and its kit supplier Marathon had to alter the new 2024 home kit to comply with the official FIFA Kit Regulations. Thanks to South American kit experts Todo Sobre Camisetas for the heads-up.
Altered Ecuador 2024 Copa America Kit to Apply with FIFA Equipment Rules
As visible in a friendly of Ecuador's youth national team, the Marathon Ecuador 2024 home kit has been modified with a yellow box on the back. This alteration aims to ensure compliance with official FIFA Equipment Regulations, which are used by CONMEBOL for the upcoming Copa America.
The box even has ventilation holes
The original Ecuador 2024 Copa America home kit features a yellow front and navy back, a duo-color look that is forbidden by FIFA. With the yellow box, the back is now considered as mainly yellow.
It remains to be seen if we will see this exact fix in the 2024 Copa América or if Ecuador will come up with a more professional all-yellow back for the Copa. The current box has ventilation holes and appears to be very professionally added.
What do you think of the makeshift yellow box on the navy back? Should the back just be completely yellow? Let us know in the comments below.

Burnley Forced to Wear Ajax Socks in 26-27 Pre-Season Friendly
An unusual kit mishap occurred during the pre-season friendly between Ajax and Burnley at the Johan Cruyff Arena on July 26, 2026. Burnley lined up in their light blue Castore change kit for the match, but a kit color clash forced the English side into an unexpected equipment modification right before kickoff.
With Ajax wearing their traditional red and white home kit paired with white socks, Burnley's kit management only had white socks available, creating an obvious sock clash. To allow the match to proceed smoothly, Ajax came to the rescue by lending Burnley a set of their dark blue Adidas socks.
Burnley players wore the dark blue Ajax socks throughout the match, with many players cutting off the lower foot section to wear them as sleeves over their white grip socks. Consequently, the Ajax branding and Adidas logo were clearly visible on the legs of Burnley's players during the game, which eventually ended in a 2-1 win for Ajax.

The kit comes in a royal blue base highlighted by gold details, including the iconic Adidas three stripes on the shoulders, gold main sponsor branding, and gold player names and numbers on the back.
