Leaked: Kappa Wants to Sign Big European Club
Feb 11, 2026, by Phan Tich Giay
- Kappa and OGC Nice Relationship: While initially reported as strained, both Kappa and OGC Nice deny any tensions and insist their relationship is in excellent shape.
- OGC Nice's Kit Revenue: OGC Nice had record kit supplier revenue in the first half of the season, with jersey sales up 25% year-on-year.
- Kappa's Ambition: Kappa is reportedly eager to sign a larger European club, either in France or elsewhere.
Update - Feb 11, 2026: Following up on our report, Kappa and OGC Nice contacted us to deny any tensions, insisting the relationship between the two parties would be "in excellent shape." The brand would also not have been interested in making Saint-Etienne's kit.
The club would have closed the first half of the season with the highest kit supplier revenue in their history. Jersey sales would be up 25% year-on-year; however, the previous season was with Le Coq Sportif, which declared bankruptcy and can therefore not fully be counted.
Footy Headlines trusts both OGC Nice and Kappa, but also believes that at least some of the relationship problems existed, but that everything is on track again (for the time being).
Insiders described the relationship between OGC Nice and Kappa as "complicated", with Kappa losing money on the deal.
Hunting for a Giant
As per our source, Kappa is now reportedly desperate to sign a "bigger club", either in France or elsewhere in Europe.
Which big European club do you think would be a perfect fit for Kappa's designs? Let us know in the comments below.
Special Coventry City 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Coventry City and Hummel have unveiled a special limited-edition all-pink shirt to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Released on October 1, the jersey inaugurates a month-long series of club initiatives dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the fight against breast cancer.
The Coventry City 26-27 Breast Cancer Awareness kit is predominantly vibrant pink, styled with alternating tonal vertical stripes that incorporate a subtle pattern. Clean white accents complement the design, utilized for the Hummel logo, the monochrome club crest, and principal partner Monzo across the midriff. Positioned prominently at the center of the chest is the iconic breast cancer awareness ribbon.
The special one-off release joins the Sky Blues' 26-27 collection as a dedicated charity drop, highlighting an important cause with an eye-catching tonal aesthetic.
Copa América Champions Badge Returns to Argentina Kits
After two years, the reigning South American Champions badge officially makes its return to the Albiceleste jersey, following the end of Argentina’s reign as world champions.
The badge last appeared during 2024 Copa América. Since then, despite holding both Copa América and World Cup titles, Argentina consistently gave priority to the World Cup badge.

Melbourne Victory 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Melbourne Victory has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch marks the club's first matchwear collection produced under their new four-year technical partnership with Melbourne-based streetwear and activewear brand Elite Eleven.
The 26-27 home kit delivers a timeless look grounded in the club's traditional colours. It features a deep navy base accented by the iconic white Big V across the chest, complemented by white piping along the crew neck collar and raglan sleeve seams. Elite Eleven's signature logo sits centrally above the chevron, with Turkish Airlines remaining as the primary shirt sponsor.
In contrast to the classic home design, the Melbourne Victory 26-27 away jersey introduces a vibrant and modern aesthetic. It uses a bright neon fluro base paired with a large navy chevron and matching navy panels running along the shoulders and sides. Both shirts are available immediately for purchase through the club's official store.
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
