Trabzonspor Agree Adidas Kit Deal
Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor has reportedly reached an agreement with Adidas to become their new kit supplier, replacing Joma. The news was broken by prominent Turkish sports journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu toda, and has sparked immense excitement across social media among the club's passionate supporters.
While Joma has been Trabzonspor's official kit maker since the 23-24 campaign and recently unveiled the team's 26-27 kits, the new partnership with Adidas is widely expected to commence from the 27-28 season. Trabzonspor had reportedly been in negotiations with several major brands, including Nike and Puma, before ultimately selecting the German sportswear giant for their future kit sponsorship.
Fans have been quick to react to the announcement, with many sharing potential designs and recalling previously leaked Adidas Trabzonspor kit mock-ups.
A major talking point among the Trabzonspor community is the expectation that the club will be granted "local elite" status within the Adidas team pyramid. If confirmed, this tier status would ensure that the club always receives bespoke, custom-designed kits rather than standard catalog templates and the beloved Climacool+ material.
Switch Could Have Happened Earlier
The reported agreement also brings back memories of a previous opportunity for Trabzonspor to rejoin forces with Adidas. Around the 2015-16 season, the German sportswear giant had, according to Trabsonsport Formaları, already prepared prototype designs for the club ahead of a potential kit partnership. However, Trabzonspor’s management ultimately decided against the proposed Adidas deal and instead opted to continue with Nike. Images of one of those unreleased prototypes, featuring an unusual light pistachio green colourway, have since resurfaced among supporters. More than a decade later, the design has gained renewed attention as Trabzonspor now appears set to finally begin an official partnership with Adidas.
