Fulham’s last kits in this stint with adidas – the German firm would return in 2013 – were smart but unusual in that, on the shirt and shorts, the three-stripe branding was minimal, only seen near the hem of the sleeves and shorts. The socks had an ‘FFC’ monogram but no adidas logo.
With no third kit to call on, there were quite a few mashups.
2003-04
Out went adidas, to be replaced by their rivals Puma. The new home kit was unusual in that it featured one black sleeve, while the away and third kits were reversals of each other.
The second kit had to be used at home to Newcastle United when they came to Loftus Road with just their silver third strip. The return game at St James’ Park was the red outfit’s only outing that season.
2005-06
Fulham’s last season with Puma had them in the same design across all three kits, with the traditional colours used, though only the home had the alternate-coloured arm stripes. The black third strip was used just once, away to Sunderland.
The goalkeeper kits followed a similar style. The black version differed from the outfield third with the inclusion of grey and black – see here for other examples of teams having goalkeeper and away/third shirts in the same main colour and design but different accent tones.
2023-24
Black sleeves had only previously been seen in 2009-10 and 2020-21, while the decision to use black first-choice socks for the first time since 1965 further altered the balance of the kit. Fullham did, however, wear the more traditional-looking white socks at home to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
Things were somewhat unusual on the goalkeeping front – Bernd Leno wore both the Pro (elite) and Competition (teamwear) versions of the green Tiro 23 design but was only seen in the Competition iteration of the red.
Marek Rodak did wear the red Pro and, while Leno only wore the blue Pro shirt, it was with the Competition shorts – Arsenal also did this.
