The heavyweights of European football dominated the headlines last month. We saw the official unveiling of bold new home shirts for giants like AC Milan, Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Beyond the top European leagues, May also delivered some spectacular secondary and special-edition releases that captured the attention of the kit community. River Plate's gorgeous Anniversary kit, Mexico's World Cup Third shirt, and Botafogo's intricate Mizuno Third kit all made massive waves upon release. Meanwhile, clubs like Plymouth Argyle and Millwall proved that you don't need to be a Champions League regular to receive a nice design.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
