The Kitsman

Fighting Childhood Cancer🎗️

Peru’s Club Melgar have an away kit that supports a tremendous cause, thanks to

“Día Internacional Contra el Cáncer Infantil” - A day that raises awareness for childhood cancer is what makes this kit what it is. Designed alongside children doing just that currently, the sketches and scribbles make up the bulk of the pattern with a friendly lion emblem amongst it all.

The badge gets a special makeover too, as the golden ribbon takes centre stage to really show the support the club wish to give.

A fun, yet humbling and heartfelt creation.

𝗔𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁Irish 🇦🇷🇮🇪

The classy green movement we’ve come to love continues in strong fashion thanks to and Atlético Guillermo Brown who’s latest kit ties both their namesakes position as Admiral of the Argentine Navy and his Irish heritage!

A combination that makes for a great looking kit with the check/tartan design and the standout anchor badge!

Here’s to you Admiral! ⚓️

Do we need to say anymore?

Werner Bremen already have one of the better kit collections this season but their special edition 125tg anniversary one is just beautiful!

The original logo alongside the current and too lends a hand to that wonderful all over pattern, it has a really antique and vintage feel to it! Very Jealous!

Making a 𝕊𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕙 🌊

Preston North End’s new homage to club legend, Sir Tom Finney pays tribute to him, 10 years on since his passing.

While the rather striking kit might look a bit wild, the picture it’s modelled after is just as much, almost taken like for like!

The subtle watery pattern throughout the white is a cool addition to make it more unique.

El Azulgrana 🔴🔵

When you take the clubs colours for a launch and run, this is what you can get! Rich with blue and reds, if anything screams a clubs identity and image when it comes to kit launches, this is about as bold as it gets!

Bright, loud, proud. Love it!

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 have come.

How smooth do these kits look?

From creatives behind Over The Pitch have crafted the pair in the iconic Irish Champagne’s iconic colour scheme. The gold detailing and the sheen from the branding sets the mood with the classy pinstripes and a bit of flavour with the number set on the back!

Overall, a rather tasty looking pair of kits!

Carnival Continues 🎉

Den Bosch get into the party mood thanks to Robey’s confetti laden Carnival creation

A very, very deep green hosts the yellows and reds that present the party atmosphere away from Bosch’s traditional blue and white. It’s certainly eye-catching!

𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐝! 🎉🇳🇱

How often do you get a badge where there’s a lion gleefully celebrating with a couple of pints? 🍻👀

It’s Carnival season in the Netherlands too and RKC Waalwijk may just have the wildest and most party-esque carnival kit yet!

Aside from that wonderfully in-your-face pattern, there’s added extras that really elevate this one of a kind creation. The small licks of pattern on the shorts keep the flow, the centre quotation and little icons are great but the one off badge is a thing of beauty!

𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓽𝔂 in Pink 🩷

The Inter Miami gang are looking the part as they officially launch their new home kit for the upcoming season!

Making the colour their own in the - the twist this year is the centralised badges that cut a clean line down the sea of pink.

An otherwise ‘no-fuss’ approach.. you don’t need much more when you’ve got the likes of Messi and Suarez rocking it.

Looking forward to seeing its next outing!

One of the most recognisable kit template, colour and badge combination?

Whilst this is Vasco da Gama’s latest away kit, there’s no denying it’s a classic look. You don’t need to mess much with it and the tweaks specifically for this season are reminiscent of their Kappa kits from the late 90’s!

Always, always enjoy seeing a twist on something familiar.

𝔼𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕣𝕚𝕔 Feels ⚡️

Birmingham Legion spark up their new partnership with Hummel in style.

The ‘Lady Electra’ kit takes inspiration from the golden statue that sits as the city’s beacon from atop the Alabama Power Building and she’s quite the woman!

A fun alternative kit that shines, with the lightning bolts flying from the badge!

Palmeiras x Em𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁

Have you ever seen something more beautiful?

We’ve been inundated with classy and luxurious looking kits recently but has Palmeiras 110 year celebration reveals just taken the crown?

That deep, rich green enveloped with all over embossing that depicts the club badges looks incredible and is very much the talking point. The collar has that retro, throwback feel that ties together and really classy kit.

Those close ups 🤤

Smash Hit 🎶🎧

There’s a certain level of swagger that gets to come with a reveal this cool.

Chase & Status, the electric duo deeply rooted in the area, have backed Hammersmith FC by becoming sponsors for the season ahead and with that, comes some pretty sweet kits!

A phrase we’re getting used to saying.. “Kappa have done it again!” Rings true with these simple yet classic and almost retro efforts. No fuss with the home kit as it’s as clean as it comes and the away carries a pattern that adds a little bass to it, both wonderful!

What band or musician would look great on your club?

A Slam Dunk

It’s finally here!

We’ve all seen it but how does it look now you’re seeing it in PSG’s way? 👀

Jordan’s Elephant creation gets a twist as PSG’s fourth kit gets a desert inspired colour way. It’s not your conventional array of colours but the iconic pattern certainly carries it brilliantly!

Vixens ⚜️🎹

We still aren’t over the new away kit for Victoria Park Vixens.

Kappa have been doing absolute wonders recently and this has been no different! The talking points being that wonderful collar and cuff combination against the deep green and that golden badge is foxy 🤩

Absolutely nothing to hate.

Checker this out! 🟦 100 Years of Kawasaki

Sometimes kits just look rather satisfying and with their tiny checkerboard pattern, Kawasaki Frontale celebrate 100 years of their home city with something that’s just that!

Alongside the checkerboard, the pattern is filled with with the seal of the city which more than pays tribute, stamping their identity all over.

However, the flanking striped collar and cuffs add a contrast that jumps out at you and you know we love a good collar here at The Kitsman. Very fitting kit!

𝐃𝐢𝐚lightful 🤌🏻

Diadora doing the basics and doing them incredibly well!

Paraguay’s Club Sol de América get a stunningly strong and beautiful home kit but with a twist. From afar, it’s a classic pinstripe kit - solid - but on closer inspection you catch a glimpse of the slightly embossed pattern that delivers a new secret level 🔎

Take a look at the socks too, just as committed as the top itself. Big fans and overall just a satisfying number all round don’t you think?

Forged by 𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊 🔥

Tigres smouldering new third kit takes inspiration from the nickname of their stadium, ‘El Volcán’ which in turn is an homage to the fans and the atmosphere they create inside the ground! 🌋

Fans are the heart of a club and it’s always cool to see them being recognised in cool and creative ways.

The pattern is pretty spicy and the monochrome badges create a really vibrant contrast! Big fans of the badge in that format.

Enter the Dragon 🐉

This new Man City special edition encapsulates The Year of the Dragon with the coldest of vibes.

The all over dragon print in shades of cool grey over the darker grey base make for a classy kit with a bit of bite! 🐲

Even the smaller details, such as the dragon wrapped badge on the reverse of the kit just add the extra little bit of flash!

How does this rate on your.. scale?

It’s 𝓒𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓿𝓪𝓵 time! 🎉🔵🟡🔴

A burst of colour!

It’s Carnival season again and Mainz unveil the latest addition to their party collection and once again it’s a fun and bright showing.

The traditional colours of the Mainz Carnival are used to create the bars that run down the kit and we’re always a fan of a cuff that shouts a little!

We’re ready to join the party with this, are you?

For Son Moix 🏟️

A bit of a fun one!

How’s this for a special, one off kit? Celebrating the successful renovation and update work on Real Mallorca’s home, Estadi Mallorca Son Moix!

Their traditional red gets a secondary yellow makeover with a marble-esque or paint splatter style coat! The emblem in the middle signifying the occasion!

It looked good the other night when it was given its outing 🙌

Green and Gold, 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙮 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙

A timeless colour combination 💚

We saw the blue and red of Tokyo FC yesterday and now it’s the turn of Verdy, who make their mark with their own spin on a stripe thanks to .jp

The duotone greens flanked by chunky gold cuffs and collar look lovely and the sponsors being clean white, for in well enough.

Special mention for their away kit too with a flip-up of the colour way and the subtle pattern!

Who wins this particular Tokyo Derby?

The Ｄｉｖｉｓｉｖｅ One? 🔴🔵

FC Tokyo split many when they rebranded and launched with a new badge but have now revealed their latest away kit and it’s an abstract take on stripes by New Balance.

Traditional stripes get a somewhat camouflage treatment! It’s certainly a spin and a different way to alternate the kit overall!

Does the kit sit better with you than the rebrand? Has it been a favourite of yours since you first set eyes on it all?

AFCON / Do you know these brands?

There’s some banging creations that you may never have gotten to feast your eyes on!

With the African Cup of Nations kicking off tonight, you’re about to see some kits, brands and possibly even nations in action that you’ve never witnessed!

We love a unique kit or a something out of the ordinary and there’s a few nations and brands stepping up with designs that may not see the global eye of it wasn’t for tournaments like this.

Completing the set 🇩🇿

Kappa have crafted another beauty to give Tunisia a top-end wardrobe going into the African Cup of Nations!

As if the home and away weren’t clean enough, this third kit changes it up slightly with the inclusion of a mosaic inspired pattern paying homage to the world heritage listed town, Sidi Bou Said.

Again, a strong contrasting collar features and the cuffs are again a thing of beauty! 🌸

Molten Diamonds ♦️💎

Isn’t that pattern for Urawa Red Diamonds new primary kit just delicious?

Looking rich and vibrant, they’ll be hitting up the new season in style. The design is a throwback to a similar kit 10 years ago and in turn, embodies the atmosphere and the passion that the Diamonds fans create on matchday!

The close-ups give you a right good look at the details!

One Zambia, One Nation 🇿🇲

We’ve loved a bright kit recently and Atletico Lusaka hit that exact vibe, thanks to .sport

If there was ever culture embedded onto a kit, it’s these two. Recognised by FIFA for its development in social and cultural inclusion projects, they are dedicated to training players of African descent and are made sure that they have fun doing it.

The wild, traditional patterns carry throughout whilst the collar is a loud matter, that really lets the pattern talk!

The away carries the same collar but a bright section of panelling on the sides to contrast the white!

Fitting for Zambias most up and coming club!
