Closer Look: The Puma Template That is Set to be Used by All Big Teams Next Season
While we've not yet have gotten a glance at what Adidas and Nike have planned for the 2021-22 season in terms of templates, the same cannot be said about Puma.
The brand already launched its first few J League 2021 kits and, going by the experience from previous years, the template used by Jubilo Iwata and Shimizu S-Pulse is set to also be used for most of the brand's big team kits, including the likes of Dortmund, Manchester City and Milan.
The "laser holes" are gone from Puma's authentic jerseys
The template, which is also available as a teamwear option, featuring a bold stripe pattern, is called "teamULTIMATE".
A subtle evolution of the brand's current style, the teamULTIMATE jersey features thin stripes on the shoulders. The sleeves have a raglan cut once again and we are also very likely to once again see lots of graphic-based designs from the brand.
The J League kit comes with the pattern on the front and the back
Both J-League kits and the teamwear base design feature graphics or patterns - the teamwear just on the front with both the sleeves and back having a "blank" look, while the J League kit comes with the pattern on the front and the back.
One key change compared to this season is the removal of the "laser holes" from the authentic jerseys.
The teamwear variant of the Puma teamULTIMATE shirt retails at just €30 - the prices for replica and authentic shirts will likely remain the same (€75 / €115), although we have not been able to confirm this yet.
