No More New Balance - Roma to Sign Adidas Kit Deal
Reports from Italy suggest that Adidas will become the new technical sponsor of AS Roma from the 23-24 season. Il Tempo say that the deal will be second most valuable in Italy, only behind Juventus' 8 year, €408 million contract with the German brand.
Roma to Sign Adidas Kit Deal
Roma only recently switched kit makers, changing from Nike to New Balance in 2021 with an initial two year agreement. If these reports are to be believed, this season's kits from NB will be the last they make for i Giallorossi, before Adidas take over in 2023.
The club previously wore Adidas gear in the early 90s, with the partnership producing some bona fide classics that will almost certainly be referenced or even remade during their second stint together. In manager Jose Mourinho and new number 21, Paulo Dybala, Adidas already have two star names at Roma to front the promotional campaigns.
Roma's owners, the Friedkin Group, are aiming to have their club compete with the best in Europe, both on the field and off it. As well as the deal with Adidas, plans to upgrade the stadium are being discussed, with an ideal opening date earmarked for 2026 or 2027, coinciding with the club's centenary.
The length of the potential contract with Adidas has not yet been reported, but it would be a safe bet that it will be longer than the two year deal they currently have with New Balance.

Cerro Porteño 2026 Third Kit Released: 1990s Puma Remake
Puma has officially unveiled the new 2026 third kit for Paraguayan Primera División side Cerro Porteño. The release leans heavily into nostalgia, offering a direct modern recreation of one of the club's most beloved vintage shirts from the late 1990s.
The new Cerro Porteño 2026 third shirt is built on a white base, sharply contrasted by solid dark blue sleeves and vibrant red detailing on the classic polo collar and sleeve cuffs. The most prominent design element is the large, sublimated grey graphic covering the front and back of the torso, which faithfully replicates the stylized "CP" monogram watermark found on the original 1999 kit.
The 2026 third kit serves as a great tribute to the famous "Pinturas Renner" era.

Viktoria Köln 26-27 Third Kit Released
German 3. Liga side Viktoria Köln has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by Joma, the new release embraces a deeply nostalgic "Viktoria-Vintage" aesthetic to celebrate the club's roots. This launch also marks a significant off-pitch reunion, as the team will once again feature the logo of the ETL-Gruppe across the chest, welcoming back their long-time former main sponsor for the upcoming campaign.
The Joma Viktoria Köln 26-27 third shirt opts for a classic black and white color palette that leans heavily into retro football fashion. Both the Joma manufacturer logo and the Viktoria Köln club crest have been modified to perfectly match the monochrome aesthetic, blending seamlessly into the design. To complete the vintage look, the jersey is equipped with a traditional polo collar, purposely designed by the club to function equally well as a stylish lifestyle piece for fans to wear casually away from the pitch.
The new Viktoria Köln 2026-2027 third kit is currently available for pre-order via the club's official online store, with physical deliveries expected to begin in late June.
