Chelsea To Sign Record-Breaking Nike Kit Deal
Oct 5, 2016, by Chris
Update: We have decided to put up this article as PSG mentioned the still-not-confirmed, but extremly likely deal between Chelsea and the Swoosh as a reason to upgrade their kit deal.
Chelsea have agreed a kit deal with US-giant Nike to replace current shirt supplier Adidas, according to 'The Telegraph'. Adidas and Chelsea last week announced that they have agreed to cut their long-term kit sponsorship short and end it six years earlier than initially planned, at the end of next season.
Nike To Become Chelsea Kit Supplier?
Nike has never made before Chelsea's Kits.
The Telegraph reports that Chelsea and Nike have agreed a £60 million-a-year kit deal, while the newspaper did not disclosed any other contract details.
Chelsea refused to comment on their lucrative new Nike agreement, which is worth double as their Adidas deal.

Barcelona Use Two Different Fonts for 26-27 Home and Away Kits
Along with their new 26-27 home and away kits, Barcelona has launched two brand-new font styles to replace the iconic "Barcelona Play" typography, which had been in use since the 19-20 season. Interestingly, both new designs feature Serif fonts - a style never before seen on official Barça shirts.
For the home kit, the font features fine curves inspired by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, the visionary behind many of Barcelona's iconic landmarks.
For the away kit, the font takes on a cleaner, simpler serif shape in a gold tone that stands out against the kit's background color.
Barcelona will have a Kappa 1992-inspired font for the third kit, expected to be released soon.

No More Jako: Adidas Chernihiv 26-27 Home Kit Released
Ukrainian First League club FC Chernihiv have announced a change in kit supplier ahead of the 26-27 season, leaving their previous partner Jako to join forces with Adidas. This marks a new era for the club, who had previously sported bespoke designs created by Jako.
The first release under the new partnership is the FC Chernihiv 26-27 home kit. Moving away from the striking yellow tiger stripe design seen in the 25-26 season, the new Adidas home shirt adopts a more traditional aesthetic, featuring the iconic three stripes prominently on the shoulders.
While the previous Jako kits gained attention for their unique looks and the poignant presentation near the club's destroyed ground, the switch to Adidas brings a classic and recognizable feel to FC Chernihiv's on-pitch apparel for the upcoming campaign.
