Update: The new Adidas Liverpool deal is set to be worth more than 60 million GBP per season, more than what Nike paid (£30m per year + 20% royalty on all net sales). There is no exact figure on the deal due to the incentivized nature of the contract, which includes sales and on-field performances, as reported by the Times.
Liverpool's 2025-26 products are already appearing in Adidas data. The club will part ways with Nike after the 24-25 season (Summer 2025), and is, of course, not present in the Nike Fall/Winter 2025 offering.
Liverpool Adidas Kit Deal
Liverpool's current deal with Nike runs until the end of the 2024-25 season. Liverpool did not renew the contract and signed a new deal with Adidas. It will be the third time Adidas will make Liverpool's kits. The last time was for the period 2006-2012.
The new Adidas Liverpool deal runs for five seasons, from 2025-26 to 2029-30. The new deal will be worth more than what Nike currently pays Liverpool (£30m per year + 20% royalty on all net sales of merchandise other than footwear).
Adidas secured the contract after winning a competitive tender process, surpassing bids from Nike and Puma. Liverpool anticipates the new deal will bring its earnings in line with other top Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, whose kit deals also generate between £60-65 million annually.
Billy Hogan, chief executive officer at LFC, said: “Everyone at the club is incredibly excited to welcome adidas back into the LFC family. We have enjoyed fantastic success together in the past and created some of the most iconic LFC kits of all time."
Graphic genius @lfcdzn11, for Footy Headlines, has imagined how the Adidas logo could look on the stands of the Anfield Stadium.

Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

Huge thanks to Pro Direct and Unisportsore for images and the video.
Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
