Confirmed: AS Roma Are No Adidas Elite Team
Aug 24, 2023, by Chris
For the 2023-2024 season, Adidas signed historic Italian club AS Roma. Now it is confirmed which treatment Roma get from the Three Stripes for the 2023-2024 season, and it is not the brand's top.
Like all big brands, Adidas have different levels of sponsorship for their football clubs. Elite (top-tier), Premium (second-tier), Standard (third-tier), 3rd Party (fourth-tier), and no direct contract (lowest tier).
AS Roma to Become Adidas 'Premium' Club - Second Level
Adidas are reportedly paying Roma only €5 million per season, which is much less than the Adidas top teams get (40-100 million Euro). Adidas will supply kits for their men's, women's, youth, and esports teams.
Roma did not become one of Adidas' 5 Elite clubs but will be on the brand's second level. This means that Roma have a similar treatment as Ajax, Celtic, River Plate, and Boca Juniors. But what does this mean concretely?
Roma get not authentic jerseys
Roma Get Bespoke Kits But No Authentic Jerseys For the 2023-2024 Season
Roma receive bespoke home, away, and third kits from Adidas, plus a bespoke training collection.
Roma did not get Adidas authentic jerseys, and will also not get one of the Adidas 23-24 third Lifestyler (sponsorless) jerseys. AS Roma will probably also not get any of the other collections that are exclusive for the Adidas Elite teams, such as remake jerseys.
The Roma 2023-2024 kits feature the brand's replica Areoready technology and stitched logos.
Adidas may give select special collections to Roma, depending on sales
However, there is a chance that Adidas will give Roma more items and better treatment depending on the success of the club and sales in the future.

Adidas AS Roma Treatment - Second-Tier (Premium Level)
- Below Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Man Utd & Real Madrid
- Same level as Ajax, Celtic. Boca, River Plate and other "Premium" teams
- Bespoke home, away and third jerseys
- No authentic kits available to buy
- No collections that are exclusive for Elite teams like remake kits and sponsorless third kits
The first-ever Adidas Roma kits of the partnership were launched in July 2023.
Would you have expected Roma to be a second-tier Adidas team? Do you hope that the club will get authentic kits from the 2024-2025 season, even though it is (very) unlikely? Comment below.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
