Concept Kits

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.

Spanish club CD Tenerife has officially announced a new kit supplier deal with Italian brand Macron, effective from the 26-27 season. The agreement coincides with the club's return to the Segunda División (LaLiga Hypermotion) and will see Macron provide technical apparel for both the first team and the youth academy squads.

The arrival of Macron marks the end of a 13-year partnership with Hummel, which was one of the longest-running technical supplier deals in Spanish football. According to the announcement, Macron will deliver custom collections that celebrate Tenerife's heritage, identity, and local community, featuring bespoke details designed specifically for the blanquiazules.

Following the announcement, anticipation is already building among the fanbase for the reveal of the new kits. While no official release date has been confirmed yet, supporters are eagerly waiting to see the fresh designs the Italian brand has prepared for the 26-27 campaign.
