River Plate Sign Record-Breaking Adidas Kit Deal
Dec 3, 2015, by Chris
South American champions River Plate have signed a record-breaking kit deal with German sportswear supplier Adidas that will bring the club up to $10 million per year until 2021.
River Plate have more than fully recovered since they were relegated to the second division in June 2011. The Argentine club will play in the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup after they won the 2015 Copa Libertadores this summer.
River Plate Sign 6-Year Adidas Kit Deal
The new River Adidas deal is the biggest in the history of Argentine club soccer.
The new Adidas River Plate Kit Deal is worth $60 million over 6 years. And while it's not only the biggest deal in the history of club football in Argentina, it's likely even more important for the fans of Los Millonarios that they have surpassed the $8 million deal that arch-rivals Boca Juniors have with Nike.
"The contract we had with Adidas was until 2018 and it has been extended until 2021 for 60 million dollars," River's marketing president Luis Landoni told Reuters on November 20. "The contract was increased by 70 percent and approved at a board meeting and ratified by a (club) members' assembly."
Landoni also said that the "10 million dollars a year are for sponsorship, bonuses and prizes for objectives achieved by the team".
Do you think Boca Juniors can manage to surpass River Plate's Kit Deal in the near future? Let us know in the comments below, and check out also the leaked River Plate 2016 Away Kit.
Melbourne Victory 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Melbourne Victory has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch marks the club's first matchwear collection produced under their new four-year technical partnership with Melbourne-based streetwear and activewear brand Elite Eleven.
The 26-27 home kit delivers a timeless look grounded in the club's traditional colours. It features a deep navy base accented by the iconic white Big V across the chest, complemented by white piping along the crew neck collar and raglan sleeve seams. Elite Eleven's signature logo sits centrally above the chevron, with Turkish Airlines remaining as the primary shirt sponsor.
In contrast to the classic home design, the Melbourne Victory 26-27 away jersey introduces a vibrant and modern aesthetic. It uses a bright neon fluro base paired with a large navy chevron and matching navy panels running along the shoulders and sides. Both shirts are available immediately for purchase through the club's official store.
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
Cerro Porteño 2026 Anniversary Kit Released
Paraguayan powerhouse Cerro Porteño and Puma have officially unveiled a special anniversary kit celebrating the club's 114th birthday. Founded on October 1, 1912, "El Ciclón" marks the milestone with a limited-edition design that also represents the end of an era, serving as Puma's final kit for the club ahead of a switch to Diadora in 2027.
The Puma Cerro Porteño 2026 anniversary jersey embraces a distinctive late-1990s retro aesthetic. It features a deep navy base complemented by a bold vertical red stripe running down the center, accented with white piping along the sleeves and side seams. A classic fold-over collar with white trim frames the neckline, while an enlarged retro CP monogram watermark is embossed across the lower torso. The jersey is completed by a traditional shield crest on the left chest and a clean, sponsor-free front.
Produced in strictly limited quantities, the collector's shirt is available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, bringing a stylish close to Puma's seven-year partnership with Cerro Porteño that began in 2020.
