Gulum is playing as an Australian

A Dutch winger signed Johan Absalonsen

The 31-year-old joins the Reds having spent his entire career in Denmark, most notably with top-flight sides Brøndby IF, Odense Boldklub, SønderjyskE, and FC Copenhagen

I thought they haven't been allowed to have that kit due to Sydney. Is it their main or second kit?
