No More Nike: FC Utrecht Announce Castore Kit Deal
Update: Confirming our exclusive information, FC Utrecht today announced a new partnership with Castore, the relatively new English clothing brand, that will see Castore become the official clothing and merchandise sponsor of the Utrecht football club from next season. The deal will cover FC Utrecht's first team, reserves team, women's team, and youth teams.
The announcement picture evokes memories of the iconic UEFA Champions League stadium as seen in the intro scene. Utrecht have never played in the UEFA Champions League, however. The design, however, is from the current brand identity that Utrecht launched two years ago.

Rumours had been circulating for a while but we can now confirm that this season will be Utrecht's last with Nike before their new deal with Castore comes into effect in the summer. Utrecht are the second Dutch club to partner with the English brand after Feyenoord, who announced their deal in January this year.
Neither Utrecht nor Castore have made an official announcement yet, but we at Footy Headlines have obtained proof of the existence of Castore Utrecht products for the 23-24 season. Utrecht have been wearing Nike kits and before that they had a seven year partnership with Hummel. They've previously worn kits from English brands Admiral and Reebok in the 80s and 90s.

Spanish club CD Numancia and their long-time technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new kits for the 2026-27 season. The launch celebrates a historic milestone, marking 20 years of uninterrupted partnership between the team and the Italian sportswear brand. To honor this two-decade collaboration, the new designs reinterpret the essence of the original kits from the 2006-07 season, when Erreà first began outfitting the Soria-based side.
The CD Numancia 2026-2027 home kit returns to the club's traditional deep red base with blue details, directly inspired by the 2006-07 template.

The away kit reverses this color scheme, utilizing a crisp white base with red and blue accents.
