Meltem Cumbul, who attended the launch in a red dress, drew the reaction of Fenerbahçe fans. The fans, noting that red is associated with Galatasaray, interpreted this choice as "disrespect to the club's values."
The launch of Fenerbahçe's 2025-2026 season jerseys took place in Istanbul with a magnificent organization. The new home and away jerseys of the yellow-navy blue club were introduced to the fans for the first time, and the famous names attending the night also drew attention. However, the event that overshadowed the night was not the jerseys, but the clothing choice of player Meltem Cumbul.
Meltem Cumbul, who attended the launch in a red dress and red lipstick, faced a strong backlash from Fenerbahçe fans on social media. Fans emphasized that the color red is associated with their eternal rival Galatasaray, evaluating Cumbul's choice as "against the club's color sensitivity."
In the comments regarding Cumbul's outfit, criticisms such as "There should not have been a color other than yellow-navy blue at this night" and "Red should not be chosen on such a symbolic night" emerged. The jersey introduction received generally positive comments with the new season jerseys that combine classic lines with modern design, while Cumbul's choice overshadowed the launch.
No statement has yet been made regarding the issue by the club management or Meltem Cumbul.
