1 hour ago, by Phan Tich Giay
- Al-Hilal Ending Puma Partnership: Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al-Hilal is reportedly set to part ways with Puma after their current agreement expires, signaling an end to their 4-season partnership.
- Adidas Poised to Become New Supplier: The club has opened negotiations with a major global sportswear manufacturer, and all current speculation heavily points towards Adidas as the primary candidate to take over the kit deal.
- Anticipated 2027-28 Season Deal: If negotiations progress, Adidas is expected to officially become Al-Hilal's kit supplier starting from the 2027-28 season, reuniting with the club and expanding Adidas's footprint in the Saudi Pro League.
Update - Oct 1, 2026: Adidas is highly likely to reunite with Al-Hilal on a long-term deal after this season ends, according to @MnbrAlhilal & @2_K44.
Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al-Hilal is reportedly set to part ways with Puma and sign with a new technical kit supplier, according to information reported by Saudi source @muta_al.
Al-Hilal to Sign New Kit Supplier
Al-Hilal has reportedly informed Puma that they will not be extending their current partnership once the existing agreement expires. Instead, the club has already opened negotiations with a major global sportswear manufacturer, widely considered to hold the number-one position in football kit production.
All indications and current speculation point heavily toward Adidas as the primary candidate to take over the deal.
If a deal with Adidas materializes, it will bring an end to a 4-season partnership between Al-Hilal and the "Big Cat" brand.
A move to Adidas would not be uncharted territory for the club. The German brand has previously outfitted Al-Hilal across multiple periods in their history, most notably during a long-standing partnership from 2006 to 2013, as well as earlier stints in 1999-2000 and 2001-2003.
Expanding the Saudi Pro League Footprint
An agreement between Adidas and Al-Hilal is highly plausible given the brand's aggressive expansion in the region. Adidas currently supplies kits for two other major Saudi Pro League sides - Al Ahli and Al Nassr. Adding Al-Hilal to their roster would give the Three Stripes command over three of the kingdom's biggest clubs.
If negotiations progress smoothly over the coming months, Adidas is expected to officially take over as Al-Hilal's kit supplier starting from the 2027-28 season.

Brusque 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Brusque FC and kit manufacturer Junpe have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey for Outubro Rosa (Pink October). Designed to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention and encourage women's health checkups, the release continues the club's tradition of dedicated awareness kits for the month of October.
The shirt combines two tones of pink, featuring an eye-catching chevron graphic across the chest over an intricate sublimated fabric texture. Bold black detailing provides strong contrast on the thick ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, as well as on all sponsor prints and the Junpe manufacturer logo. The club's traditional yellow, green, and red crest sits in full color on the left breast, topped by three stars.
A bespoke circular seal appears on the lower front with the campaign motto "Jogue pela vida! Cuide de você - Um toque pode virar o jogo" (Play for life! Take care of yourself - One touch can turn the game around), drawing a direct parallel between the sport and the importance of self-examination. The limited-edition jersey is sold through the club's official retail space next to the Augusto Bauer stadium.
Stunning Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th Anniversary Kit Released
Kashima Antlers and Nike have officially released a special 35th anniversary kit to celebrate the founding of the iconic J1 League side on October 1, 1991. The release also pays homage to Brazilian football legend Zico, whose spirit and influence remain foundational to the identity and DNA of the Ibaraki-based club.
The Nike Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th anniversary shirt boasts an elegant two-tone dark navy half-and-half design inspired by the night scenery of Kashima Bay. Breaking away from the club's standard colors, the kit applies full gold detailing throughout, highlighted by the club's first-ever matte gold crest featuring a commemorative 1991/2026 engraving. All sponsor marks, the Nike Swoosh, and the sleeve badge are finished in matching metallic gold.
Navy shorts and socks with gold accents round off the sophisticated look. Fans can customize the kit with gold printing in either Nike's current 26-27 squad font or a recreated version of the club's original 1990s founding-era typography, with Zico's legendary number 10 among the selections. Kashima Antlers are scheduled to wear the special uniform on December 19, 2026, against Tokyo Verdy at MUFG Stadium (Japan National Stadium).
