🇩🇪 Breaking a 70-year tradition, the German Football Association (DFB) announced Thursday that Nike will design kits for its national teams starting in 2027, replacing homegrown brand Adidas. The move has sent shockwaves through the sportswear world!
💰 Why the Switch?
DFB CEO Holger Blask called Nike's offer a "game-changer," citing its "best financial terms" and plans to boost grassroots soccer and women's football in Germany. The deal reportedly runs until 2034.
😲 Adidas Reacts
The Herzogenaurach-based company expressed surprise, stating it was informed about the decision on announcement day. Adidas has supplied Germany's iconic black-and-white jerseys since the 1954 "Miracle of Bern" World Cup win.
🌍 What's Next?
While fans debate the end of an era, Nike promises "innovative designs" for Die Mannschaft. The first Nike kits will debut during 2027 qualifying matches. Will we see neon accents? Space-age fabrics? Stay tuned! 👟
