Goalkeeper Kits

Mauritanian champions FC Nouadhibou and Moroccan sportswear brand AB Sport have officially unveiled the club's new kit collection for the 26-27 campaign. Continuing a long-term partnership that dates back to 2019, the new collection was revealed ahead of the club's continental fixture in the CAF Champions League.

The FC Nouadhibou 26-27 home kit stays true to the club's nickname, "Le Club Orange," sporting a bright orange base. It features clean navy blue trim along the collar, sleeve cuffs, and side stripes, paired with matching orange shorts. The away shirt opts for a refreshing look in light turquoise, complemented by tonal vertical graphics across the body and finished with white and subtle orange collar and cuff trims.

Completing the 26-27 range, AB Sport has produced two distinctive goalkeeper shirts. The primary keeper jersey is bright green with neon yellow accents, while an alternative option arrives in rich purple with crisp white detailing. All kits carry the branding of primary shirt sponsor Saca Energy on the chest.

A closer look at kits across various European leagues reveals an interesting detail about how Adidas equips goalkeepers. While Adidas strictly tiers its outfield kits - reserving authentic player-issue shirts primarily for elite partner clubs—goalkeepers across nearly all tiers are provided with authentic base templates, which clubs then customize themselves.

Adidas produces authentic player-issue versions of its standard goalkeeper teamwear templates, such as the Tiro Competition line. These shirts feature lightweight performance fabrics, authentic badge, and heat-applied Adidas logos straight from the manufacturer. Because the base templates are standardized across the brand's roster, clubs simply take the blank authentic shirts and apply their own crests, sponsor graphics, and competition badges in-house, usually via heat press.

This workflow explains why goalkeepers at clubs outside the top tier, such as Ajax, 1. FC Köln, or Leeds United, can often be seen wearing authentic-spec shirts on the pitch, even when their outfield teammates wear standard replica-spec jerseys with stitched crests. It provides a cost-effective and practical solution for both the manufacturer and the clubs, ensuring all goalkeepers receive top-level performance apparel regardless of their club's commercial tier.

Heading into his second season in the Süper Lig, the 33-year-old goalkeeper was once again spotted taking the pitch in a cut-sleeve jersey. Simply because Fenerbahçe does not offer a short-sleeve kit option from Adidas.

At his previous clubs like Rio Ave, Benfica, and Manchester City, Ederson always had short-sleeve versions to him. His time at Fenerbahçe marks one of the rare instances in his professional career where Ederson has worn long sleeves on the pitch.

During the 2026 FA Community Shield, Gianluigi Donnarumma was once again spotted wearing a replica jersey on the pitch rather than an authentic player-issue shirt. Details such as the embroidered crest and the standard dryCELL branding confirmed his kit choice.

This marks the second consecutive season since joining Manchester City that the Italian goalkeeper has opted for the replica version. The reason stems from Puma's player-issue shirts featuring a tighter, more athletic cut, whereas Donnarumma prefers a looser, roomier fit for maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
