Galatasaray Posts Image of Fake Kit
- 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.

Awesome: Leeds United 26-27 Home Kit Concept Based on Leaked Bayern München Away Kit
A stylish Leeds United home kit concept has caught the attention of fans online. Created by Leeds supporter and graphic designer @ZK1919, the concept directly adapts the design of an Adidas FC Bayern away kit, transforming it into a Leeds home shirt.
The concept features the classic Adidas Trefoil logo and integrates Leeds United's front-of-shirt sponsor, Red Bull. To match the club's traditional colors, the designer swapped the original red accents for yellow and outlined the Red Bull logo in blue. The concept also sparked discussions among supporters regarding the exact shade of yellow, the choice of the club badge, and the potential constraints of Red Bull's corporate branding rules on future kits.
While purely a fan-made design and not an official leak for the 2026-27 season, it highlights the potential of an Adidas Trefoil Leeds kit. The actual Leeds United 26-27 home kit has been very unpopular ahead of its release.
