Portuguese Gondomar SC Honors Late Brothers Jota, Silva with New Kit

Gondomar SC, the boyhood club of Portuguese footballers Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, has unveiled a new kit for the 2025-26 season honoring the brothers who tragically died in a car crash in July. The kit features their silhouettes on the front, their names and an infinity symbol on the back collar, symbolizing an eternal tribute and connection to the club and community. Gondomar emphasized that football represents legacy, family, and love for their land, with the jersey serving as a living symbol of remembrance for the players. Liverpool FC has also paid tribute by retiring Jota's number 20 shirt across all teams and will include a "Forever 20" emblem on players' shirts next season, in addition to plans for a memorial sculpture. Both brothers began their careers at Gondomar before moving on to other clubs, with Jota recently having won the UEFA Nations League with Portugal. The football world continues to mourn their loss, with tributes pouring in globally and ceremonies held in their honor.
