Macron

Counterfeit kit manufacturers are known for stealing fan concepts and turning them into physical shirts, but a recent Crystal Palace bootleg has taken an unusually strange turn. An original third kit concept created by digital designer @concept_kits_ was brought into production by fakers and recently spotted being worn by a fan in photos shared across Crystal Palace's official social media channels.

Originally published in April 2026, the concept kit features a deep navy base with thin red and blue pinstripes, classic gold TDK sponsor lettering, a gold monochrome club crest, and a gold Macron logo to reflect Palace's official technical partnership. However, when bootleggers adapted the design to produce it, they replaced the Macron branding with a gold Adidas logo and wordmark.

The designer reacted on X after discovering the bootleg being worn in public, noting with dry humor that at least someone was making money off his work.

Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle have officially launched a fan consultation allowing supporters to decide the look of their 27-28 third kit. Nearly 3,000 fan-owners and club beneficiaries have been invited to participate in the process, which presents five distinct concept designs created in partnership with Italian technical supplier Macron.

The five shortlisted options (Options A through E) all feature black bases complemented by the Jags' traditional red and yellow accent colors. The proposals explore diverse visual styles, ranging from classic red and yellow pinstripes and tonal vertical stripes to a bold brushstroke chest band, a subtle checkered pattern, and wavy tonal striping across the torso. The design receiving the highest ranking will form the core foundation of the final match and retail kit.

Voting is open to all PTFC Trust beneficiaries aged 16 and older, which includes season ticket holders, 71 Club members, and contributors to The Jags Foundation and Jags Trust. The ballot runs via the TapVoter platform from November 1 to November 8, giving supporters direct creative input well ahead of the 27-28 campaign.

Czech club FK Teplice and Italian kit supplier Macron have officially launched a special limited-edition Halloween collection for the 26-27 campaign. Strictly limited to just 333 pieces in total across all versions, the release represents the club's second themed drop following the success of their Christmas shirt project last year.

The outfield jersey is built around a dark blue base covered in vibrant orange graphics, showcasing carved jack-o'-lanterns, spiderwebs, hanging spiders, and paint splatter motifs. To preserve the festive aesthetic, the chest is free from regular commercial sponsors, centering the Macron Hero logo alongside a simplified orange FK shield. The collection is rounded out by two goalkeeper jerseys featuring the same spooky graphic treatment: a light green edition worn on the pitch and an orange iteration produced for supporters.

FK Teplice will wear the Halloween kit on October 24, 2026, during their match against Artis Brno at the Stínadla stadium, which will host a completely themed matchday experience. Following the game, a selection of match-worn jerseys will be put up for a charity auction starting October 26 to raise funds for the FK Teplice foundation.

FC Nantes were forced to debut an emergency all-white kit for their Ligue 2 match against AS Saint-Étienne on Saturday night. The unexpected kit choice came after neither Nantes' standard yellow home strip nor their dark away kit was approved for the match by the French refereeing body (Direction de l'Arbitrage) and the LFP, citing color contrast issues against Saint-Étienne's traditional green shirts.

Supplied by Macron, the impromptu kit features a clean white base paired with monochrome black branding for both the technical supplier and the FC Nantes crest. The jersey retains the club's regular sponsors, with Synergie across the front and Hellfest above the player name on the upper back, complemented by matching white shorts and white socks.

Color clashes with Saint-Étienne often pose a tricky challenge for visiting teams, but the refusal of both primary options forced Nantes into preparing this off-catalog solution on short notice. The bespoke look provided a stark, monochrome departure from the club's traditional yellow and green identity under the lights at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

FC Lausanne-Sport and Macron have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, titled "Lausanne après minuit" (Lausanne After Midnight). The design celebrates the Swiss city's electronic music heritage and nightlife scene, which began flourishing in the 1980s with youth movements and the rise of local club culture.

The jersey is predominantly black to represent the night, intersected by vivid cyan and coral lines that mimic nightclub light beams. On the upper back sits a stylized soundwave equalizer emblem, while the fabric subtly incorporates glossy ton-sur-ton lettering honoring historic local venues such as Dolce Vita, MAD, D! Club, and Cult Club. Both the modern LS crest and the Macron Hero branding are rendered in reflective silver.

The shirt is finished with matching coral, cyan, and black ribbed trim on the collar and cuffs, alongside clean white sponsor prints across the chest and sleeves. Following the club's 130th-anniversary home shirt and vineyard-themed away jersey, this release completes Lausanne-Sport's set of kits for the 26-27 campaign.

Swiss Super League club FC Lausanne-Sport and technical sponsor Macron have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit celebrating the club's 130th anniversary. Founded in 1896 under the original name FC Montriond, the Swiss side pays tribute to its foundational roots with a look directly inspired by the earliest outfits in club history.

The Macron Lausanne-Sport 26-27 130th Anniversary shirt showcases broad alternating blue and white horizontal hoops across the body and sleeves, framed by a neat crew neck collar. Honoring its heritage, the jersey swaps the contemporary LS crest for the historic FC Montriond badge on the chest alongside the Macron Hero logo. The kit is complemented by simple white shorts and white socks to finish a faithful retro aesthetic, while a matching pale green variation has been crafted for the goalkeepers.

The special shirt will not be released for general retail sale. Only 130 individually numbered copies have been produced, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Fans will have the chance to win the shirts via a charity raffle benefiting the club's youth development fund during the official anniversary match against FC Thun at the Stade de la Tuilière on November 1, 2026, where the team will wear the kit in action.

Icelandic club Víkingur Reykjavík have launched a special limited-edition 2026 charity kit, produced by technical sponsor Macron in collaboration with renowned Icelandic outdoor brand 66°Norður. All proceeds from jersey sales will directly support the club's longtime goalkeeper, Ingvar Jónsson, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. In support of the initiative, the club's sponsors generously donated their usual advertising space on the shirt.

Designed by Bergur Guðnason of 66°Norður, the long-sleeve jersey is presented in a muted off-white and sepia palette patterned with fine navigational grid lines. The lower front and sleeves display a historic photographic print of Víkingur's 1921 squad, commemorating the club's first national championship era and their voyage to the Westfjords. On the chest, a dual-branded 66° shield replaces the standard club crest alongside an orange Macron Hero logo.

The maritime theme continues across the back, featuring a map of Iceland with navigational coordinates and a highlighted 66°N latitude line rendered in hazard orange, referencing 66°Norður's rich maritime safety heritage. The limited-edition jersey was released on October 22 through Víkingur's official online store.

French club Union Foot de Touraine have officially unveiled a special-edition pink kit for the 26-27 season. Produced by Italian brand Macron, the jersey represents the very first pink strip in the club's history and has been created in support of the Pink October breast cancer awareness campaign.

The Macron Union Foot de Touraine 26-27 special jersey features a bright pink base paired with a tonal crew-neck collar and matching cuffs. Dark navy details are used for the Macron Hero branding and the Enerlis sponsor wordmark across the chest, contrasted by the prominent yellow McDonald's arches underneath. The back of the shirt continues the clean pink look, completed with black squad names, numbering, and additional partner marks.

Union Foot de Touraine are scheduled to debut the one-off kit in their league encounter against Nîmes Olympique at the Stade de la Vallée du Cher.
