Unbelievable Kit Clash in Saudi Pro League Forces Halftime Change
- Kit Clash: Al Riyadh and Al Raed played a Saudi Pro League match with kits that were too similar in color, causing confusion.
- Halftime Intervention: Officials forced Al Raed to change to a red kit at halftime due to the egregious kit clash.
- Al Raed Victory: Despite the kit confusion, Al Raed won the match 3-1.
In a remarkable sight during last night's Saudi Professional League fixture, Al Riyadh and Al Raed participated in one of the most egregious kit clashes ever witnessed in professional football. Big thanks to our follower and Saudi Pro League expert @kaber_albaha for making us aware.
Saudi Pro League Teams Play in Too Similar Colors
The match, which ultimately ended in a 3-1 victory for Al Raed, began with an almost indistinguishable color palette on the pitch. Al Riyadh took to the field wearing their very light mint green third kit with subtle green accents – a colorway that, under stadium lighting, appeared nearly white at first glance. Their opponents, Al Raed, wore their white kit with little red trim. The result was a visual nightmare for players, officials, and spectators alike.
A look at the scoreboard seems to confirm why this happened - the light mint is green in the official Saudi Pro League data, but almost looks like white in real life.
Officials intervened at halftime, requiring a kit change for the second period, with Al Raed FC switching to red.
While Al Raed ultimately claimed the three points to strengthen their position, the talking point among Saudi Pro League followers remains the remarkable similarity between supposedly contrasting team colors that somehow passed pre-match inspection.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
