No Adidas After All: Palmeiras to Extend Puma Kit Deal
- Palmeiras Kit Deal: Palmeiras has decided to extend their kit deal with Puma, rejecting a previous proposal from Adidas, due to a more favorable economic offer.
- Initial Adidas Agreement: Initially, Palmeiras was reported to be returning to Adidas as their kit supplier in 2025 with a deal reportedly worth R$50 million, before choosing Puma instead.
- Puma's Brazil Expansion: Despite losing the Palmeiras deal, Puma is still planning to expand its presence in Brazil by partnering with other clubs like EC Bahia, Red Bull Bragantino, and potentially Corinthians and Santos.
Update: As reported in Brazil, Palmeiras decided against signing a kit deal with Adidas and will remain with Puma instead. In the end, it's reported that the decision was made based on economic factors, with the Adidas deal being less favorable to the club compared to an improved offer by Puma.
Original story (March 15): Brazilian football team Palmeiras is set to announce the return of Adidas as its supplier of sports equipment in 2025. This is reported by the website "O Nosso Palestra" and journalist Jorge Nicola. Big thanks to Mantos do Futebol for summarizing the news and providing detailed info about Puma's Brazilian plans.
Adidas to Take Over Palmeiras Kit Deal From Puma - Club to Get Authentic Kits
The current partner, Puma, was initially favored to win the competition for Palmeiras' uniforms, but Adidas's proposal of R$50 million ($USD 10 million) a year, a 25% increase from the current deal, convinced the club to reconsider.
The agreement would be valid for three years. Palmeiras will also get authentic kits, which are currently exclusive to Flamengo.
Adidas will officially take over on January 1, 2025, after Puma's contract expires. Adidas made Palmeiras' kits for the last time from 2006 until 2018.
Puma to Sign Deal With Other Brazilian Clubs - Also Looks For Corinthians & Santos
Meanwhile, Brazilian football kit experts Mantos do Futebol know that Puma still has big plans in Brazil.
Puma plans to expand its range of sponsors in Brazil, with EC Bahia (now owned by City Football Group) and Red Bull Bragantino (part of Red Bull who signed with Puma for Leipzig and Salzburg as well) already lined up for 2025.
Puma is also exploring opportunities with Corinthians and Santos FC. The potential return of Neymar to Santos FC in mid-2025 could facilitate a partnership between the club and Puma, as Neymar is one of Puma's main ambassadors.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
