Adidas to Make Le Mans 26-27 Kits
The move to Adidas brings them under one of football's biggest kit suppliers, but certainly without bespoke designs. Throughout their history, Le Mans has worked with various brands, including Puma (until 1989 and again 1998-2003), Constri-foot (1992-1993), in-house production (1989-1991), Kappa (2003-2011), and Macron (2011-2014), before returning to Kappa in 2015. Adidas made Le Mans' kits from 1993 until 1998.
