Nike to Make Monza 2026-2027 Serie A Kits
The Italian club officially announced the new partnership today, ending the deal with current supplier Lotto, which had been in place since 2019. "AC Monza and Nike together from the 2026/27 season. More to come", announced the club, teasing the new partnership with a chess-themed video. Monza just secured promotion to Serie A.
The Monza Nike kit deal ends the club's longest kit supplier partnership of the modern era. Lotto had been Monza's supplier since 2019, accompanying the club's historic first-ever promotion to Serie A in 2022 under the ownership of the late Silvio Berlusconi. Before Lotto, Monza went through a remarkable number of kit suppliers, including Boxeur Des Rues, Macron, Umbro, Acerbis, Givova, Errea, Garman, Legea and three separate spells with Adidas.
The first Monza Nike kits are expected to be released in summer 2026, ahead of the new Serie A season. We do not expect custom designs.

Pink Takes Over the 2026 World Cup As Major Brands Release Similar Boot Packs
The 2026 World Cup is underway, and fans and commentators have quickly noticed a striking similarity in the footwear of the players. Across the pitch, pink has emerged as the dominant boot color. ESPN Brazil narrator @LARGOESPN recently highlighted this phenomenon on social media, pointing out the uniform pink cleats worn by numerous players during the opening matches of the tournament.
This trend is the result of all major sportswear giants launching pink-themed boot collections specifically for the 2026 World Cup. Adidas introduced the 'Road to Glory' pack, Nike unveiled the 'Breakout' collection, and Puma released the 'Showtime' pack. Even other brands like New Balance have adopted similar pink tones for their sponsored athletes. This widespread alignment on a single color has led to a noticeable loss of brand distinction on the pitch, with many observers noting the curious coincidence of all major brands opting for almost the exact same shade.
While the vibrant pink boots certainly stand out and offer a bright summer aesthetic, the uniformity has sparked discussion among fans. Some appreciate the bold look, while others miss the variety and clear brand identification that usually characterizes World Cup boot collections. As the 2026 World Cup progresses, this sea of pink cleats will undoubtedly remain a defining visual element of the tournament.
