Footy Headlines, in collaboration with Kit Creator, is excited to launch the Milan-A-Palooza Kit PRIZE COMPETITION! We're challenging designers to create an AC Milan home kit that breaks away from the club's traditional evenly-spaced stripes.
Milan-A-Palooza Kit Competition!
The Milan-A-Palooza Kit Competition challenges designers to create a Milan kit that is not traditional, no classic stripes, but a design that does it with any kind of fancy stripes or even without. Think along the lines of Milan's own recent home kits from 2021-22, 2022-23, or 2023-24, which explored new visual avenues.
To inspire your designs, various concept kits already submitted demonstrate the incredible range of possibilities, from bold graphic interpretations and subtle textural plays to dynamic asymmetrical layouts. These fan-made examples highlight how the Rossoneri identity can be powerfully expressed even without conventional stripes.
Prizes Up for Grabs:
Footy Headlines has allocated three authentic 2023-24 AC Milan home jerseys (Ultrawearve, sizes M, L, XL - note: they run small) to be given away:
- Community Vote Winner: Awarded to the winner of the Milan-A-Palooza competition vote (set to begin Sunday, 01 June and end 15 June).
- Panel Favorite: Chosen by a panel including Footy Headlines, Kit Creator staff.
- Mystery Winner: Awarded for completing a secret task, riddle, or finding an Easter egg on the Footy Headlines Discord or Kit Creator site between 01 June and 15 June.
All winners will also receive a free year of Plus Ultimate membership on Kit Creator.
This competition embraces AC Milan's recent willingness to experiment with their home kit aesthetic. Now it's your turn to push the boundaries. Remember, the key is a red and black home kit, a recognizable Milan crest, and absolutely no traditional, evenly-distanced stripes.

The upper half of the torso and the raglan sleeves are solid red, while the lower half is crisp white. Separating the two sections is a prominent, thick black horizontal chest band.

Glentoran 26-27 Home Kit Released
Glentoran and Macron have launched the club's new 2026-27 home kit for the upcoming NIFL Premiership campaign. The design pays homage to the classic 1992-93 shirt worn during their memorable European Cup tie against Marseille, featuring a green body with red sleeves and shoulder panels separated by black trim.
Giving the shirt a distinct early 1990s retro feel, a red fold-over collar is included with black striping and a black V-shaped insert at the front. A tonal graphic pattern runs across both the green and red sections, adding texture to the Macron Eco Fabric. The Macron Hero logo appears in white on the chest and sleeves, sitting opposite the stitched Glentoran crest and its accompanying gold star.
Additional details include the club motto Le Jeu Avant Tout embroidered in white on the back of the collar, and Glentoran FC Est 1882 printed inside the lower hem. Featuring Bet McLean as the main sponsor, the new Glentoran 2026-27 home shirt is completed with matching white shorts and green socks.
