Adidas Supplying Authentic Kits to More Teams?
Adidas currently has six elite teams: Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich and newcomer Newcastle. Aston Villa, although not a top club, will also receive authentic kits in the 24-25 season.
The remaining teams such as AS Roma, Ajax, Lyon and Besiktas will continue to receive replica kits as they still have old deals with Adidas.
Footy Headlines predicts that Adidas is ready to supply more teams with authentic kits thanks to a new policy from CEO Bjørn Gulden. He is the former CEO of Puma (2016-2022). Adidas has announced that he will be the new CEO of Adidas from 1 January 2023. Previously, Puma gave much more teams authentic kits.

Extremely Limited: Macron Lausanne-Sport 26-27 130th Anniversary Kit Released
Swiss Super League club FC Lausanne-Sport and technical sponsor Macron have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit celebrating the club's 130th anniversary. Founded in 1896 under the original name FC Montriond, the Swiss side pays tribute to its foundational roots with a look directly inspired by the earliest outfits in club history.
The Macron Lausanne-Sport 26-27 130th Anniversary shirt showcases broad alternating blue and white horizontal hoops across the body and sleeves, framed by a neat crew neck collar. Honoring its heritage, the jersey swaps the contemporary LS crest for the historic FC Montriond badge on the chest alongside the Macron Hero logo. The kit is complemented by simple white shorts and white socks to finish a faithful retro aesthetic, while a matching pale green variation has been crafted for the goalkeepers.
The special shirt will not be released for general retail sale. Only 130 individually numbered copies have been produced, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Fans will have the chance to win the shirts via a charity raffle benefiting the club's youth development fund during the official anniversary match against FC Thun at the Stade de la Tuilière on November 1, 2026, where the team will wear the kit in action.
