Fashion fail or bold statement? Top-flight club ditches new kits | OneFootball

While all clubs are presenting their new jerseys like haute couture on the Milan catwalk, the Belgian champion Royal Union Saint-Gilloise is relying on the tried and true. The former club of Victor Boniface is not presenting a new shirt for the 2025/2026 season. It will be recycled!

Instead of daring fashion experiments, Saint-Gilloise is focusing on sustainability and trusting that their players won't gain too much weight during the summer break. Last season's jersey must still fit next year!

Fans are divided: some celebrate the green approach, while others are sad because they now have no excuse to buy a new jersey. The phrase "But honey, it's for the collection" no longer works for a Saint-Gilloise fan.

The Belgians will therefore be playing not only against opponents but also against climate change. They want to "minimize waste production and ecological footprint," explained the Brussels team.

Seriously: This is truly a successful initiative!
