Why Tigres Are Leaving Adidas for Reebok: Details Emerge
Tigres UANL’s historic kit partnership with Adidas is set to end after more than two decades, with the club poised to switch to Reebok ahead of the 27-28 season. Following reports that talks between the Liga MX giants and Reebok are in advanced stages, new details have emerged revealing how the relationship between Tigres and Adidas broke down.
According to reports from Mexican journalist Andrés Vaca, the split was heavily influenced by internal friction during contract negotiations handled by Tigres president Carlos Emilio González. While the impending deal with Reebok is expected to be financially superior and position Tigres as the brand's primary flagship club across Latin America, the abrupt rupture of the 20-year alliance with Adidas has created frustration behind the scenes. Additional factors, such as disagreements over royalty bonuses and squad marketability, also contributed to negotiations stalling.
Reebok's takeover in 2027 will mark a massive statement in Liga MX as they continue to rebuild their football portfolio. Until then, Adidas will fulfill the remainder of its contract running through 2027, meaning the upcoming 26-27 season kits will be the Three Stripes' final release for Tigres.
