Shelter’s No Home Kit Initiative

I am sure you are aware of Shelter’s #NoHomeKit charity campaign this Christmas. The campaign is asking for Teams and Fans to wear their away kits to rasie awareness to the Homeless over the Christmas period. Some EFL Teams will be taking part in this over the coming week, so keep an eye of those teams using their change kits in home games.

There is a great video over on Shelter’s Twitter Account promoting the initiative – Click here to see that video.

Here is my tweet helping to promote the cause, so make sure you share your away kits using the #NoHomeKit “hashtag” and if you can donate, please go to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/NoHomeKit and give what you can.

Christmas Kits

Its that time of year when some team release special Christmas Kits, so far we have seen the following kits on show.

U.S. Cremonese, the Italian Team in Serie B

Werder Bremem in Bundesliga 2

Atalanta were also due to have a Christmas Kit but this got pulled in the end, due to the sky line incorporated into the shirt not being of Bergamo where the club are based but being of Torino, I would like to have been a fly on wall on that discussion!!

The Kitsman Awards

The wonderdul @The_Kitsman over on Twitter created an 2021 Awards for Kit Community, the categories as follows…

Voting is currently open for the top four nominees in each category and will remain open until 23rd December 2021, so make sure you check out Josh’s timeline and vote for your favourite accounts

Marseille Extend Kit Deal

Olympique de Marseille and Puma have announced an extenstion to their current kit deal until 2028. The French club have been using Puma kits since the 2018 / 19 season and this deal will mean their relationship will be at least 10 years in the making.
