Limited-Edition White & Gold Grasshoppers 23-24 Special Kit Released - Just 200 Shirts
Apr 11, 2024, by Chris
- Limited Edition Release: Grasshopper Club Zürich released a limited-edition white and gold kit with only 200 shirts available.
- Collaboration for Sächsilüüte: The special jersey was created in collaboration with the Sächsilüüte festival, a long standing Zurich tradition.
- Design and Availability: The Capelli-made shirt features a white and gold design with vertical stripes, and was released for sale starting Thursday, 11 April.
Grasshopper Club Zürich (GC Zurich) has collaborated with the Sächsilüüte to create a specially designed shirt for the traditional spring festival.
The Sächsilüüte is one of Zurich's oldest traditions, and GC Zurich, as the city's oldest football club, would like to celebrate this tradition with a limited-edition jersey. At the Sächsilüüte, a "Böögg" is burned, which resembles a snowman and is a symbol of winter. The burning of the Böögg is intended to drive away winter and welcome spring.

The Capelli Grasshoppers 2023-24 Sächsilüüte special shirt features an elegant design in white and gold. It comes with subtle vertical stripes.
In 1904, the Böögg was burned for the first time on today's Sechseläutenplatz. So it only makes sense that the Sächsilüüte shirt should also feature the GC logo, which was created at the same time. From 1900 to 1906, this was the current club acronym and now adorns the chest of the Sächsilüüte shirt.
Additionally, the Sächsilüüte logo is placed on the sleeve of the shirt.
The presentation of the shirt took place at the Zunft zur Schmiden, with Abrashi and Ndenge being the first to wear it in the historic guild hall.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.
What do you think of adidas using the same template for Hanoi FC and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
