Real Sporting Gijón Wears Last Year's Training Kit Due to Kit Clash
Nov 9, 2025, by Chris
- Kit Clash: Real Sporting Gijón had to wear last year's training kit because their home and away kits clashed with Mirandés' uniform.
- Crest Registration Issue: Sporting Gijón's white third kit is pending approval due to a delay in the registration of Sporting's historic crest by the Patent and Trademark Office.
- Limited Availability: The fluorescent yellow training shirt worn in the match will not be available for purchase as it was an adapted kit from the club's stock.
Real Sporting Gijón found themselves in an unusual kit crisis ahead of their match against Mirandés on Friday.
Sporting Wears 24-25 Training Shirt For 25-26 La Liga Match
Sporting Gijón has three official kits for the 2025-26 season, but they can only use two - their white third kit remains pending approval as the club awaits validation of Sporting's historic crest registration by the Patent and Trademark Office.
The white kit could not be worn as the special crest has not been registered by the patent office yet
Sporting's home and away kits clashed with the opposition's home uniform. The Spanish second-division club was forced to wear last year's fluorescent yellow training shirt as an emergency solution. Instead of the monochrome logo, Sporting Gijón applied the full-color crest on the makeshift kit.
The situation was compounded by outgoing kit supplier Puma, who will be replaced by Gijón-based brand Siroko next season, not providing alternative solutions for the match. The already "famous" yellow shirt worn by players including Corredera and Perrin will not be available for purchase, as it was an adapted kit already in the club's stock rather than an official retail release.

Puma Ultraweave Kits Continue to Tear at 2026 World Cup
During the 2026 World Cup, Puma kits have become a major talking point due to a series of high-profile tearing incidents. Across the first four rounds of the tournament, six different shirts have ripped during matches. Players from the Czech Republic, Paraguay, Egypt, and Morocco have all experienced torn jerseys following physical challenges and shirt-pulling on the pitch. Notably, kits from other manufacturers have not suffered from similar durability issues during the competition. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn.
The root of the problem lies in the construction of the Puma Ultraweave fabric. Designed to be incredibly lightweight at just 72 grams, the material features a four-way stretch recycled polyester blend. While the brand states this ultra-light design was driven by player feedback to reduce weight and drag, the extremely thin fabric has proven highly vulnerable to tearing under the stress of grabbing and pulling in a high-contact sport.
With the knockout stages underway, the durability of the Puma kits remains a concern. Several Puma-sponsored nations are still competing in the tournament, including Austria, Ivory Coast, the Netherlands, Portugal, Senegal, and Switzerland. As the stakes get higher and matches become more physical, fans and kit enthusiasts will be watching to see if the Ultraweave fabric can hold up to the pressure of international football.
