Juventus have unveiled the new 08/09 home and away kits for their return to the top European level. On the first day back from the holidays, the new kit to be used in the 2008/09 season was unveiled at the Media Center in Vinovo. Technical sponsors Nike took inspiration from the Club's successful past to create the kits. Indeed the home strip recalls the legendary '70s period, while the away shirt's gold colour celebrates Juve's international triumphs.

The home shirt is obviously black and white, but with slightly larger bands than last season's one. The stripe in the middle of the shirt, under the V-neck collar, is black. After the use of red last year, detailing is back in the classic yellow, a colour which appears on the armholes, on the lower rim and in the front part of the black collar. The numbers (and players' names) and the famous Nike "tick" logo are also in yellow. The shorts are white with yellow profiles, with the swoosh and the number in black on the left side and the Juventus logo on the right. Socks are black with a white rim and have the Nike logo and the name Juventus on them.

This is the new Aston Villa Home Shirt made by Nike for the 08/09 season with their new sponsor Acorns. These are leaked pictures and the shirt is not yet officially released.  Villa's new home and away kit will be unveiled next week at Brindley Place. The claret and blue version goes on sale on July 24 while the away shirt goes on online pre-order from August 1 but is available from August 21.

Hearts revealed the new 08/09 home kit made by Umbro ahead of its launch on Friday 25th July - and for the first time in the club's history the Jambos will be in all-maroon, next season!

The pure-maroon design, a real 'back to the roots' classic is likely to be highly popular with supporters, and will remind everyone of the 2006 Scottish Cup victory!

Like the away shirt, the home shirt features the club's year of formation, '1874' embroidered on the inside of the collar and the words, 'Hearts, Hearts Glorious Hearts' on the inside of the bottom of the shirt.

The new Ajax 08/09 Home Adidas kit has been launched yesterday, and if you happened to be in Amsterdam that day you might have got the opportunity to swap your own shirt for the new Ajax shirt as you can see here.. 

But what exactly happened on the Leidseplein? Shirt exchange? It was a special campaign by Adidas organized to promote the new 08/09 Ajax shirt. About 200 men had the new official Ajax shirt hidden under a sweater ( 200 men walked there as' normal citizen ').

Around 12:00 came a referee, this was in the middle of the Leidseplein and he began to play a virtual match.. Not much later, about a quarter past 12, there was a whistle of the referee. To surprise of the "ordinary citizen" 200 men came up with an Ajax shirt. These stormed to the referee and did as if they had won the Champions League. The audience was surprised to look at what was happening.

After a few minutes celebrations the Ajax shirts were swapped with people who were present on the square. This ranged from policemen to itinerants to tourists

The brand-new collection of the Lotto Sport Italia home kit for the 2008/2009 season was unveiled.

The Italian sportswear company, acting as Technical Sponsor and Official Supplier until 2013, will provide QPR with the apparel and accessories for matches, training sessions and leisure time, for the First Team through to the Centre of Excellence.

Created by Lotto's Research and Development Centre in close co-operation with QPR, the new team uniforms are the right fusion of designs characterising the Club in the past and the present, integrating the new Club crest.

The First Team kit features the traditional Hoops in reflex blue and white, as required expressly by the Club being its distinctive colours. However, the Hoops have been revised with new graphics enriched with silver details, visible on the front insert of the collar, on the stitching on the sleeve set-in and on the Club logo. This latter component, which is the new and innovative, has been translated into a high definition patch.
