Exclusive: Mizuno Signs Fiorentina Kit Deal
Feb 4, 2026, by Phan Tich Giay
- Mizuno Signs Deal: Fiorentina has officially signed a kit deal with Mizuno for the 2026-2027 season, replacing Kappa.
- Joma Deal Collapses: The expected kit supplier deal between Fiorentina and Joma fell through at the last minute.
- Mizuno's European Expansion: Mizuno's deal with Fiorentina signals their growing ambitions in European football, adding to existing deals with Lazio and AS Monaco.
Update, Feb 4, 2026: We can confirm that Fiorentina has signed a deal with Mizuno for the 2026-2027 season, ending their 5-year partnership with Kappa. The first Mizuno Fiorentina kits will be launched in July/August 2026.
Aug 20, 2025: In a dramatic turn of events, the expected kit supplier deal between ACF Fiorentina and Joma has reportedly collapsed at the last minute. According to reports from Firenze Viola, Japanese brand Mizuno is now the clear favorite to take over from Kappa and produce the club's kits from the 2026-27 season.
This is a major surprise, as the deal with Joma had been considered "all but done" for several months.
The Joma Fiorentina Deal Falls Through
For months, since March 2025, all signs pointed towards the Spanish brand Joma making a return to Florence, replacing the outgoing Kappa at the end of the 25-26 season.
However, the Italian outlet Firenze Viola reports that the agreement, which was "practically a step away", has now fallen through in the final hours.
Mizuno Emerges as Frontrunner
With the Joma deal now off the table, the reports state that Mizuno's chances are "sharply rising" and that the Japanese brand is now the "most probable choice" for the Viola.
This would be a significant move for Mizuno, signaling their growing ambitions in European football. They are already the kit supplier for fellow Serie A club SS Lazio in a deal that runs until at least 2028.
This summer, Mizuno officially became the kit supplier for AS Monaco starting from the 2025-26 season, demonstrating a clear strategy to expand their presence in Europe's top football leagues.
One thing that remains certain is that the current supplier, Kappa, will leave the club after the 2025-26 season, ending a six-year partnership.

Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves.
