Nike Consider Keeping Home Kits for 2 Seasons
Jun 22, 2022, by Chris
Nike could make an important change for the football kit industry, info from PSG kit insiders @lasource75006 suggests.
Nike "Are Seriously Considering Offering a Home Kit For Two Years"
Nike's nine elite teams get a new bespoke home kit every season, just as almost all teams in football currently.
Nike "are seriously considering offering a home jersey for several clubs including PSG, which would be worn for 2 years", according to @lasource75006.
Teams had been keeping their home kits for several years until the 1990s/early 2000s
It has been common for football teams to keep their jerseys for several years until the 1990s. Since then, teams started to release three new kits every year. Nike were surely a trendsetter of yearly kit releases back then.
There would be several advantages if teams would release no new home kit every year, and of course, also disadvantages.
It would be a good step from an ecological point of view
Advantages include the ecological point of view as well as the wallet of fans. Disadvantages include that teams might wear an unpopular home kit for two years and that brands/teams could make less money.
Recently, several smaller teams announced that they will carry over kits for the next season, including Brentford and Hull City.
US teams change uniforms much less often
In the US, sports teams change the design of their jerseys as well but not nearly as regular as it is in soccer. For example, most NFL teams keep their uniforms for several years.
Would you like teams to keep their home kit for more than just a year? Comment below.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
