Liverpool are to switch from Nike to Adidas from 2025/26 onwards, and fans are already excited about the possibilities that will come from the return of a former kit manufacturer.
Nike have supplied Liverpool’s kits since 2020, but this season is to be their last as Adidas are poised to take over for the next five-year cycle.
Sport Business were the first to report that the German brand were the “winning bidder” back in April, and Footy Headlines have now said the deal has been signed.
The deal with Adidas is set to be higher than the current Nike contract – which includes a base fee of £30 million – and will mark a reunion after a 13-year separation.
Adidas became synonymous with Liverpool over two different spells between 1985-1996 and 2006-2012, leaving fans excited over the possibilities of what is to come.
In the wake of Footy Headlines’ fresh report on Adidas’ and Liverpool’s relationship, the idea of iconic kits getting a fresh look has many “dreaming”:

If we get something close to this from adidas next season I’ll walk around with a full kit on myself. By the way, you’d never guess that fella won 8 league titles and 4 European Cups. pic.twitter.com/TATOeykcxJ

Adidas can do something massive for their image with Trent Alexander-Arnold & Liverpool next season…

Alexander-Arnold is going to look utterly sensational in an Adidas Liverpool kit man, can’t wait to see what our kits will look like next season

There is a lot of potential for Liverpool’s reunion with Adidas, but you can only hope that they do not exclusively stick to templates that only see a slight variation across all their clubs.
Subtle hints to retro kits would be welcomed at the very least, and they ought to know that they will achieve success by doing that instead of opting for a generic template.
Expectations are obviously very high for a deal that is not expected to be announced until early 2025.
