Nike's Bold Design Rejected: Nike proposed a diagonal design for Sporting's Stromp kit, deviating from the classic vertical half-and-half design, but the club rejected it.
Stromp Kit Significance: The Stromp kit is a classic Sporting jersey with a traditional green and white half-and-half design, and this year marks the 100th anniversary of Stromp's last game for the club.
Rejected Design Similar to Wolfsburg: Nike's rejected design is rumored to be similar to Wolfsburg's kit, which features a prominent diagonal stripe.

Nike's plan to revolutionize Sporting's Stromp kit for the 2023-24 season have apparently hit a snag, with the club reportedly rejecting the sportswear giant's bold design.

The Stromp kit is the club's most classic jersey. This original shirt features a green and white half-and-half design, in homage to "Stromp": one of the founders of Sporting, who was a talented footballer and athlete. Sporting are usually releasing a new Stromp kit every two seasons - they last did two years ago, so a new Stromp kit was/is scheduled for this campaign.

Stromp belonged to Sporting for 15 years, from 1908 until 1923-1924. 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Stromp's last Sporting Cp game.
