"Now Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and LaLiga side Real Betis have found new ways of using their jerseys to assault the senses and tempt fans to part with their money, both of which you can see worn in action for the first time this weekend. Leipzig have unveiled a shirt that literally outshines the competition, while Betis have released a pair of kits that actually smell of fresh fruit!"
"Looking like something from the "TRON" universe, the shirt has a black base and a blue graphic overlay that is made up of abstract prints. The logos and sponsors are then applied using a UV sensitive material that is designed to glow turquoise in low light. It's not the first time we've seen glow-in-the-dark elements incorporated into football kit design; Napoli's most recent Halloween jersey featured a similar luminescent effect on the skeletal hands around the club crest on that special-edition shirt."
RB Leipzig unveiled a fourth alternate kit that glows in the dark, featuring a black base with a blue abstract graphic overlay. Logos, sponsors, player names and squad numbers are applied in UV-sensitive material that glows turquoise in low light and the luminescent detailing covers the entire kit, including the back. Real Betis released a pair of kits scented like fresh fruit. Glow-in-the-dark elements have appeared before, such as Napoli's Halloween jersey with luminescent skeletal hands, but Leipzig expanded the effect across the whole shirt. Both kits appear in matches this weekend and are available to watch on ESPN+.
