Coventry City Special Kit

On Saturday 22nd January, Coventry City wore a special kit when they played QPR (who had their own special kit last week). This kit was to commerate their return to the stadium in Coventry and was called “Ricoh Return” Membership shirt and celebrates the club’s return to the now named “CBS Arena”.

The shirt included a design which incorpates architecture and roof design of the stadium and is only available to Ricoh Return Members and will not be sold generally. The kit also featured white shorts and socks, bespoke to the kit. This follows their Members kit from last season, which was then all navy which

All details can be found at the club’s website here

Blackburn Rovers, New Sponsor

Blackburn Rovers have now joined that small group of teams that have changes their shirt sponsor half way through the season. From 18th January 2022 local business “Totally Wicked” replaced “Recoverite Compression” as the main shirt sponsor, having already been the sponsor of the club’s training kit since 2018.

The club are providing fans the opportunity to update their shirts with a free patch to cover the old sponsor either at the club shop or by contacting them directly.

Napoli – New 3rd Kit

Napoli in their first season of having their kits supplied by EA7 (Part of the Armani Design Group) are getting value from their designer kit manufacturer with their new 3rd kit, called “Flames” becomes the 12th Kit of the 2021/22 season.

Full details of the kits worn can be found in this article at Footy Headlines – here and consist of four domestic kits, four European kits and four special kits (Diego Maradona kits and a Halloween Kit).

Sunthorpe United – 2022/23 Kit Vote

Scunthorpe United have given their fans the opportunity to pick from three choices their new home kit for the 2022/23 Season. The kit once again manufacturered by Macron and offers three very different looks for The Irons.

Full details can be found on the Club’s Website here.

My favourite is shirt 2, I think this will give the club a unique look within The EFL but whatever the choice, they are three good designs.

Dundee / Dundee United 3rd Kits

The two neighbours from Dundee (just have a look how close their grounds are if you have not seen that before) both launched new 3rd kits this week, both supplied by Macron.

I also like to keep an eye on “Kit News” from other sports, this week it was confirmed that Kappa will become the Offical Partner and outfitter for Alpine F1 team.

The French Team (part of the Renault Group) have recently had their teamware provided by Le Coq Sportif but this move sees Kappa join the F1 Circuit from 2022.

Stuart and Reuben now have their own Twitter Account – @MyKidsKits to share Reuben’s designs, well done to Reuben for his great work and to those that have supported by taking on his design.

The fantastic duo (Jayme and Tania) behind Football Shirts FC have launched their new website over the past couple of days, these guys do fantastic work for various charities and it is well worth finding more out about them, what they do and how you can support them…. https://www.footballshirtsfc.co.uk/

Arsenal – #NoMoreRed

Posted in General, Kit NewsTagged , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

On Sunday 9th January 2022, Arsenal will be taking on Nottingham Forest in the 3rd Round of the 2021/22 FA Cup but their look for the game will be a unique one, they will be wearing an all white kit – no coloured sponsors, no coloured trim, no other colour at all.

This kit is not there for the sake of change or for any commerical gain, its being used to deliver a powerful message, the removal of red from the kit is to highlight the increasing number of knife attacks and teenager murders in London which saw more than 10,000 knife crime offences between June 2020 and June 2021.

Image
Ian Wright one of the faces of the initiative

The campaign is being backed and promoted by Club Legend Ian Wright and Hollywood “A Lister” Idris Elba, who are promoting the work carried out by Arsenal in the Community’s work with young people in London and providing more safe, positive spaces for young people and spotlighting talented individuals who are making a positive difference in their community. 

The launch of Arsenal’s No More Red Campaign can be viewed below.

There are some powerful videos supporting the campaign which are well worth spending a few minutes watching to understand the impact of the initiative.

Idris Elba and Ian Wright video can be viewed below.

As mentioned above Arsenal are not looking for any commerical gain here and as a result of this the shirts will not be available for sale but the match worn shirts will be given to those organisations who are currently working to reduce knife crime in London, these organisations are:

  • Arsenal in the Community
  • The Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation
  • Steel Warriors
  • Don’t Stab Your Future (DSYF)
  • Box Up Crime
  • Copenhagen Youth Project
  • St Giles Trust
  • Abianda
  • Octopus Community Network
  • The Ben Kinsella Trust

All details can be found on Arsenal Website – click here

The shirt will have the club crest, Adidas Logo and 3 Stripes and all sponsorship in white, including a sleeve logo of “No More Red” and will be worn with white shorts and socks.

Image

For me this is using Football Kits in the most powerful way, this initiative makes me proud to be a Kit Enthusiast and I have nothing but respect for Arsenal, Adidas and all those that are behind the campaign and bringing this to life, congratulations to you all.

FA Cup – Second Round, Kit Review

Posted in GeneralTagged , , , , , , 2 Comments

The FA Cup, the oldest football competition in the world, first kicked off 150 years ago in November 1871 has now completed the 2nd Round of the 2021/22 season.

Details from Round 1 can be found here – FA Cup – First Round, Kit Review

The second round was made up of 40 Teams made up from the 31 from League One and League Two and just 9 teams from the Non-League English Football Pyramid, with Buxton being the lowest rank team in the round who play in the 7th Tier (Northern Premier League Premier Division).

There was only one game that went to a replay, Barrow AFC v Ipswich Town, so this gave us a total of 21 games for the round.

Second Round Kit Log

Manufacturers

16 Kit Manufacturers were on show in the Second Round, with Puma for the second round running supplying the most kits, with 9 this round (5 League and 4 Non League teams).

This was a reduction from 23 in the First Round, there were 8 manufacturers with just one kit on show, these included Nike and Umbro.

Kit Highlights

Looking at some of the kit highlights for the Second Round.

Carlisle United v Shrewsbury Town, surprisingly resulted in the away team using their home kit, on paper would appear to be kit clash (and we have seen changes for less of a clash) but the result was not too bad with Yellow in the Shrewsbury Kit really standing out in the fixture.

Latest Shrewsbury Town FC news | Shropshire Star

Barrow AFC and Ipswich Town were the only teams to go to a replay, the resulting replay on Wednesday 15th December saw Ipswich Town use their limited edition 3rd Kit, the Black and Grey striped shirt will not be available for sale to supports, so will definitley be a collectors item. It also meant that Ipswich Town have worn Home, Away and 3rd Kits in the FA Cup this season.

Rochdale played in their 3rd variation of Home kit in their 3rd game of competition (First Round, First Round Replay and Second Round), they have worn the Home shirt with white shorts and socks, white shorts and black socks and in their game with Plymouth Argyle wore black shorts and socks.
