A Belgian football club has released a beer-inspired third kit with the help of its fans and AI.

OH Leuven released the kit over the weekend and it was used for the first time in their 1-0 Belgian Pro League win over Mechelen on Sunday, sealed in dramatic fashion in the 91st minute.

The band has a gold background with a white top to reflect the head of a beer, with diamond designs on the bottom half of the shirt.

To design the jersey, they received help from their supporters, before it was then developed by AI.

Many of their supporters reportedly indicated that they associated the club with Stella Artois – the city of Leuven, birthplace of the famous beer.

Louvain is 12th in the championship, just one place from the relegation play-offs of the Belgian Pro League.
