Al-Hilal 24-25 67-Year Anniversary Kit Released - Club Prohibited from Wearing Kit Due to Late Submission
Oct 20, 2024, by Chris
- Kit Launch: Al-Hilal launched a special 67th-anniversary kit, meant to be worn on October 18th.
- Kit Prohibition: The league blocked Al-Hilal from wearing the anniversary kit due to late submission for approval.
- Consequences Avoided: Al-Hilal avoided penalties by wearing their standard home kit, despite the launch of their retro anniversary kit.
Update - 19 October 2024: Al Hilal's plan to wear the special 67th-anniversary kit in Friday's league match was blocked by the league, as the kit was submitted too late for approval.
According to league regulations, clubs must provide samples of all kits for players and goalkeepers within a specified timeframe before the season starts. Al Hilal failed to meet this deadline, leading to the rejection of their anniversary kit.
The league's strict rules state that any kit not submitted and approved in time cannot be worn during official matches. Had Al Hilal proceeded with the unapproved anniversary kit, they faced the risk of being declared losers in the match and received a fine of 100,000 Riyals. To avoid such severe penalties, the club opted to wear its approved standard 24-25 home kit instead.
It is not the first time that the Saudi Pro League and its teams are unprofessional. In the 2024-2025 season, the league introduced a new font that all teams were required to use, despite some objections. The league ultimately threatened penalties for non-compliance, and so all teams are using the league-wide font now.
Original Article - 17 October 2024: Al Hilal SFC officially launched its 67th-anniversary kit yesterday, exactly 67 years after the club's foundation, on 16 October 1957 (as the Olympic Club). It will be worn on Friday, 18 October 2024, against Al Feiha.
Al Hilal's new 24-25 retro kit recalls the look of the jerseys from Rivellino's time, who played for the club between 1978 and 1981.
