Well this didn’t land well did it! 2 days ago its plastered everywhere and now they’ve been *****’d by the FA for showing it all and the photos now have no mention of Puma on them, and all Puma logos removed from the training kits. Not to mention the HUGE backlash they’ve had for trying to sell...

Is that not deliberate? I was under the impression they are embargoed until FA Release later on in the Spring. Mind you, I can’t see that many pre orders going in without photos being provided!

It’s live 👀

The list price on the Puma gear is absolutely horrendous, more than the Nike stuff (the Puma list prices that is)

Official FA Referees store have just launched a new Nike training kit, is this the new training kit for 25-26 for grassroots? Of course we’re all aware that PGMOL is Puma, but is this only going to be top level? 👀

Interesting you say this, I got my shirt from here and my training jacket from Ref Stop, both with County Badge and they were both identical, flat Iron On badges. It’s only Kent FA that have a raised County Badge as far as im aware

The answer to if you can wear coloured shirts is often both County and League Specific Some Counties (albeit not very many) have a blanket ban on any colours, and some allow it. On top of this, there are certain leagues that regardless of the County will still not allow colours Your best bet...

So once it’s clearly moved they can just shoot and score from that?

The Referee Shop they are called, used to solely trade on eBay and have for years, but now have their own website by the same name - therefereeshop.co.uk I get all my stuff there now, I think they are quite small, good stock of key items such as black shirts shorts and socks, but they don’t...

I’m just having a dabble into kids football for a change and some extra matches, (and my ages!!) can anyone confirm re this new pass / dribble in rule A player may touch the ball (making it in play) and then immediately shoot and score, this is allowed as long as they touch it first and it...

FAMOA was phased out before the start of last season, but I see more Referees than ever wearing them still, including those with brand new kits Aren’t as easy to find anymore though, The newly formed Referee Shop do sell them, but Ref Stop missing a trick getting rid IMO

I’ve got current Puma kits and I’ve not had a lot of this poor quality at any point, and I’ve been doing this 24 years - they are horrendous. Thin and paper and full of pulls. The other issue with a unique kit is if it’s not distributed through normal Puma selling channels (eg set suppliers)...

Thanks @ASM Interesting. We’ve already been assured not even a month ago that despite that, our kit (grassroots / level 4) will remain until the end of the 4 seasons We will see!

Current kits are for 4 seasons and Nike Lifespan for the range ends December 2025, should be the same kit until end of 25/26 season as that’s the 4th year These are the four seasons agreed 22-23 23-24 24-25 25-26 I’m not sure why PGMOL would change from 25-26 @ASM - do you know why this is...

Black with white

Now confirmed as Academy 23 (Polo, training shirt, drill top and pants) There are two types of jacket, it’s the knit version

Yep. The issue is Nike Refreshes the key ranges, specifically Academy every year, so even if The FA were to use one for two years, they wouldn’t have the supply unless they had a deal with Nike to extend production, which is unlikely. They could choose one of the cheaper ranges which are still...

You are correct, current Academy Pro 23 Range was discontinued by Nike in December and has therefore been sold off in most places. Ref Stop cleared large quantities of Polos (and still are) at 22.95. They have a few jackets too but still full price. If history repeats the previous few times...

I’ve not heard of any coming off completely no, but peeling is common after a few washes. I’ve had plenty of vinyl since they stopped doing embroidery and haven’t had a single one peel off! As for these silicone ones on the Nike Polos, they are even worse, they just hang down as they are too heavy!

I’m yet to find a colleague who has managed to wash their kit 5+ times and the silicone badge has stayed on, what a stupid idea just for show - I suspect they will be changed to standard vinyl from next season given all the returns ref stop have had
