No More Puma - Servette FC Join Adidas
Apr 28, 2022, by John
We have kit news from the Swiss Super League, as Servette FC will be parting ways with Puma at the end of this season. The club announced they have signed a long-term deal with rival German brand, Adidas.
Servette Join Adidas
Adidas, who have agreed to outfit the club for the next several years, will follow in Puma's footsteps.
This deal is made possible through a collaboration with 11teamsports, similar to the Schalke, Nürnberg and Düsseldorf Adidas kit deals. 11teamsports is a German company that among other disciplines specializes in customizing teamwear and other kits.
They have top-of-the-line sublimation and printing techniques and are trusted by many football clubs, both professional and amateur.
Puma only produced Servette FC's kits for three years, following 14Fourteen.
Adidas have already outfitted the Swiss club in the past, from 1983 to 1992 and from 1999 to 2002. After exactly 20 years, they are making a their return.
We think Servette will most likely receive an Adidas miteam creation rather than plain teamwear, at least for the home kit.
The new 2022-23 Adidas Servette kits are set to be revealed in June.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

CD Toledo 26-27 Home Kit Released
Spanish Tercera Federación side CD Toledo has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 campaign, manufactured by Joma. Presented under the slogan "Identidad. Puro Toledo," the release completes the club's uniform lineup for the upcoming season.
The Joma CD Toledo 2026-27 home jersey offers a classic and refined aesthetic, centered around the club's traditional rich green colorway. It features a sharp white polo collar and matching white sleeve cuffs, both enhanced with intricate subtle detailing along the edges. The shirt is complemented by white Joma branding, the club's crest on the left chest, and the La Sagra 0.0 sponsor on the front.
The launch of the green home strip rounds out CD Toledo's 26-27 kit set, following the earlier reveals of their black and gold pinstriped away kit and a 1990s-inspired gray third kit.
Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
