Even though no contract details were disclosed yet, it's reported that the new Kappa SSC Napoli Kit Deal is worth €40m over five season (€8m / season). The Kappa Napoli Shirt Deal will commence in July 2015 and will run at least until 2020.
The new SSC Napoli Kappa Kit Deal was announced by BasicPress (parent company of Kappa) in the BasicPress 2015 Q1 earnings report. It reads as follows: "Following period-end, a new sponsorship was signed in Italy for the upcoming season with SSC Napoli. In addition to the usual sponsorship and merchandising development, collaborations focusing on the development of the Napoli brand are established."
Kappa won the battle against US-giant Nike and previous shirt supplier Macron, who all made offers to produce the new SSC Napoli 2015-16 Kits. According to Italian media reports, SSC Napoli preferred Kappa over Nike due to the customizability they offer for kits and leisure wear.
The first Kappa SSC Napoli 15-16 Jerseys are expected to be launched in July 2015.
Newcastle United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Newcastle United and Adidas have officially revealed the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The new jersey introduces a distinctive light purple base shade officially designated as Powder Plum, giving the Magpies a subtle and modern alternative look.
Deep purple accents feature throughout the shirt, applied to the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and the signature Adidas Three Stripes across the shoulders. A minimalist approach has been taken for the details, with both the Adidas logo and Newcastle United crest presented in a clean monochrome dark purple. The front of the jersey features KNOX Hydrate branding, while a bright yellow noon patch on the sleeve adds a contrasting pop of color.
Designed with a clean aesthetic, the 26-27 third kit stays free of heavy graphic patterns, letting the pastel palette take center stage. Completing Newcastle's lineup alongside the classic home kit and Night Navy away jersey, the third uniform goes on sale from August 13, 2026.

The Glenavon 26-27 third jersey is based on the Adidas Saqudra 25 template, with a custom colorway. It features a dark navy base paired with gold detailing on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and Adidas shoulder stripes. In a unique touch, the traditional club badge is replaced on the left chest by a dedicated gold silhouette of Master McGrath.
Gold branding for both Adidas and shirt sponsor Avondale Foods completes the clean look, paired with matching navy and gold shorts and socks. This special release completes the team's alternative set alongside the previously unveiled 26-27 away kit, which features a classic white jersey with a royal blue polo collar and blue trim.
