OFFICIAL: OGC Nice Announce Kappa Kit Deal From 2025-26 Season
This new agreement marks the end of OGC Nice's partnership with Le Coq Sportif, which began in 2023 and concludes after just two seasons. This will be the first time Kappa has produced kits for OGC Nice.
The partnership is built on a shared strategy of "building on its roots to shine for the world to see," with Kappa, known for its iconic Omini logo, aiming to lend its "talent and inspiration" to the Nice institution. Both parties emphasize a shared culture centered around authenticity, sporting heritage, and Mediterranean elegance.
OGC Nice sees this partnership as a key driver for accelerating its new brand platform, leveraging the appeal of the French Riviera.
Cynthia Marcou, Director of Partnerships, Merchandising & Digital at OGC Nice, stated:
"We are delighted to sign this partnership with Kappa, which will be a tremendous growth driver for our merchandising business. Our goal is to breathe new life into the club's image, both authentic and bold... Our partnership with Kappa will also translate into an ambitious jersey launch strategy, lifestyle capsule collections, and exclusive and unexpected creations for the months and years to come."
Rémi Garnier, Country Manager Kappa France, added:
“This partnership with OGC Nice represents a fantastic opportunity for Kappa to strengthen our roots in French football while asserting our expertise and creativity. Nice perfectly embodies the values we defend: sporting excellence, innovation, and Italian elegance... Together, we will excite the red and black community with designs that will make a lasting impression.”
Designer @Saintetixx had previously created a Kappa concept for Nice, showcasing how the Omini logo looks with the Nice crest.

Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
