Quality Problems with Puma Galatasaray 25-26 Kit
Aug 9, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Crest Issues: The Galatasaray kits have a problem with the club crest peeling off during matches and on retail versions, indicating a widespread issue with the adhesive or application process.
- Durability Concerns: The fabric of the Galatasaray kits is tearing easily, as seen when a player's shirt tore at the underarm during a match, raising concerns about the material's strength.
- Comparison to Castore: The quality problems with Puma's Galatasaray kit are similar to those experienced with Castore, a brand known for kits ripping and logos falling off, which led to clubs ending partnerships.
The 2025-26 Süper Lig season has only just begun, but the new Puma-made Galatasaray kits are already showing serious and alarming quality issues. Images from recent matches reveal the jerseys tearing and the club crests peeling off. Big thanks to @secotelli1, @esvaphane & @yescontextfb.
Quality Problems with Puma Galatasaray 25-26 Kit
The most glaring issue is the club's crest peeling away from the shirt. This has been spotted on multiple players during matches, suggesting a widespread problem with the heat press application.
Even more concerning, a fan who ordered the new shirt shared an image of their crest peeling off completely. This indicates the problem is not limited to the player-issue versions but also affects the retail replicas, pointing to a potential systemic failure in Puma's adhesive or application process.
Kits Tearing Easily & Lacking Durability
In addition to the logo issue, the durability of the fabric itself is in question. During a recent match, striker Barış Alper Yılmaz's shirt was seen torn at the underarm after a challenge. This raises concerns about whether the material's elasticity and strength can withstand the demands of a top-flight football match.
These quality problems from a major brand like Puma are strongly reminiscent of the infamous issues that have plagued the brand Castore in recent seasons.
Castore became notorious for kits ripping, logos falling off, and other quality control failures, which has led to several major clubs ending their partnerships with the brand. For a global giant like Puma to be experiencing similar issues is a major cause for concern.
Puma will undoubtedly need to investigate and address these problems quickly to protect its reputation.
