Leeds United Kappa Kit Deal Ends After 5 Year
Kappa began manufacturing kits for Leeds United FC in 2015. Official kit sales have been growing growing year on year, culminating in a new record, during this, their centenary year, with in excess of 145,000 replica shirts sold.
Executive director Paul Bell said: “On behalf of the club, our supporters, players and staff of Leeds United I’d like to thank Kappa for their record-breaking partnership and friendship over the past five years.
“The relationship has been exceptional; Lorenzo, Remi and all of the Kappa team have worked extremely hard to enable our retail department to grow exponentially year on year with innovative designs and excellent product quality and we wish them well for the future.”
Adidas To Make Leeds United Kits From 2020-2021 Season
Leeds United just said in their statement that "information on a new kit provider will be revealed in due course". However, the new Leeds kit maker has been already revealed some months ago.
In January 2020, it was exclusively reported by the Daily Mail that Leeds United have agreed a major new kit deal with Adidas. Leeds United will wear the famous three stripes for the first time in their 100-year history. The Adidas Leeds 2020-21 away kit got already leaked.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
