Nocta Has Tricked Kit Rules with Venezia 25-26 Third Kit

Nocta has pushed the limits of the current kit regulations with the Venezia 2025-2026 third kit.

Is Nocta's logo placed on the collar? Technically not, but visually...

Nocta Places Logo in Faux Collar Area

The Venezia 2025-2026 third kit seemingly places the Nocta logo strategically to comply with, yet challenge, the defined rules regarding manufacturer identification.

According to kit regulations, the "Collar zone" of each playing shirt must be reserved exclusively for team identification and "must be free of any manufacturer identifications or sponsor advertising." The Venezia kit shows the Nocta logo positioned just below the collar, adhering to the minimum 3 cm distance requirement, but in a way that maximizes its proximity to the restricted zone.

Indeed, the V-shaped insert actually looks as if it were part of the collar, but technically speaking, it isn't. Very clever, as it apparently got the approval.
