Galatasaray Posts Image of Fake Kit
Apr 27, 2026, by Chris
- Social Media Blunder: Galatasaray and Puma mistakenly posted a photo of a counterfeit Galatasaray kit on their official Instagram account.
- Identifying the Fake: Fans quickly noticed the poor quality of the kit, particularly the messy, unevenly embroidered stars above the club crest, which differed from the heat-applied logos on the official kit.
- Immediate Removal: The post was quickly deleted once the mistake was realized, but the internet had already taken notice.
Galatasaray and their shirt supplier Puma have made a rather embarrassing blunder on social media. In a now-deleted joint Instagram post, the official accounts accidentally shared a picture featuring a clear counterfeit version of the club's shirt. Huge thanks to @emirozturkgala for the spot.
Embarrassing Mistake: Galatasaray and Puma Show Fake Kit on Official Instagram
The image, captioned "Scenes from Istanbul," showed a close-up of someone proudly holding the Galatasaray home kit. However, supporters immediately realized that something was very wrong with the detailing. A side-by-side comparison confirms that the club crest featured in the photo is a cheap, poorly manufactured fake.
The easiest giveaway is the five stars located above the badge. On the fake shirt posted to Instagram, the stars are messily embroidered, uneven, and the stitching connects them. The official kit has the logos heat-applied, also.
Once the social media teams realized the massive error, the post was swiftly removed from the channel. However, the internet never forgets.

In addition to the sleeve presence for senior teams, BBVA will serve as the main front-of-shirt partner for Inter's youth academy teams from the U18 level down. The new deal replaces the club's previous sleeve agreement with Gate.io. Visually, the BBVA logo is styled in bright yellow on Inter's 26-27 home kit, perfectly matching the yellow accents of the Nike Swoosh, club crest stars, and main sponsor Betsson.sport.
