Kappa Deal to End in January 2023 - Tunisia to Join Adidas?
Nov 29, 2022, by John
Update - November 29, 2022: Upon further inspection, nothing about the status between Adidas and the Tunisan national team has changed since last week. No official confirmation has been given from either side, unlike with the recent Saudi Arabia deal.
Reports about Tunisia joining Adidas may have been a false alarm
We think the 'teaser' Tweet may have been specific to Tunisia's player, Hannibal Mejbri, who is sponsored by Adidas. Therefore, reports about Tunisia joining Adidas have so far been a false alarm.
Original - November 26, 2022: We have international kit news as Adidas may have teased a further upcoming partnership with a national team currently competing at the World Cup.

Adidas Tunisia Deal Could Already Start in 2023
Last week, Adidas announced a kit deal with Saudi Arabia, only to do something similar for the Tunisian national team several days later.
Tunisia are currently supplied by Italian kit maker Kappa, a partnership that only began in 2019. Kappa delivered four amazing, although repetitive sets of jerseys, including two third kits.
The contract is set to end in January of 2023, setting the stage for a switch of brands. From 1976 to 1992, Adidas were previously already supplying Tunisia with matchwear.
We would expect the Three Stripes to provide unique kit designs, similar to what they do for their other mid-sized national teams (Algeria, Wales, Scotland, etc.).
What do you think of this potential kit deal? We are still not sure if this deal is happening or not. Comment below.
Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.
First 2 Adidas 2027 Boot Packs Leaked
Video game modder BxR Mods has recreated the first two Adidas 2027 football boot collections, providing a clear preview of what the Three Stripes have prepared for early 2027.
The 2027 Base Pack marks an important transition for Adidas, centered around predominantly black uppers accompanied by heritage-inspired accent colors across all three core silos. Most notably, the collection features the next-generation Predator 27 with its classic fold-over tongue, the returning AdiPure line set to succeed the Copa franchise, and the updated F50 Hyperfast. Alongside the traditional black-based editions, the preview also showcases the first main pack of the year, the collection to be worn by Adidas' best players.
Both of these Adidas packs launch in January 2027.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
