Panathinaikos to Return to Adidas - No More Kappa
We have kit news from the Greek Super League, as it has been reported by news site Gazzetta that Panathinaikos are on the brink of rejoining Adidas.
Panathinaikos to Leave Kappa for Adidas
The Greek club had previously been partnered with the German brand from 1995 until 2015, switching to Puma for 2015-16. After just two years, Panathinaikos joined forces with Nike, however, after receiving only teamwear for two seasons, they moved on to Kappa.
We expect that Panathinaikos will fall into the typical Adidas 'B-Team' category, likely receiving somewhat bespoke shirts or miTeam creations, or even teamwear for the third kits for example. This would be similar to what fellow Greek club Olympiacos have going.
Gazzetta report that the club will sign a deal with Adidas soon, with a sponsorship starting in summer of 2023.

FC Twente 2026-27 Home Kit Released
FC Twente and Castore have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The launch follows a successful campaign that saw the team finish fourth in the Eredivisie and secure European football, with the club using the motto "We continue the line" for the new release.
The Castore FC Twente 2026-27 home shirt introduces a clean and traditional look in the club's classic red. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary 2009-10 championship-winning season, the standout design feature is a subtle, thin vertical line pattern that runs across the entire shirt. Adding a local touch, the word 'Tukkers' is proudly incorporated into the collar, while various club-specific elements are embedded within the back numbers.
