Reds Ditch Nike, Welcome Back Triple Stripes…
Liverpool fans, brace yourselves! It looks like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold could be sticking around after all, thanks to a sweet new deal with Adidas. Yes, the beloved German sportswear giant is stepping in to save the day with a multi-year contract starting from the 2025/26 season. Nike is being shown the door, making room for Adidas to work their three-striped magic once again with the team.
Previously adorning Liverpool jerseys from 1985-1996 and 2006-2012, Adidas is back like a comfy pair of sneakers you just can’t throw away. And get this – they’re not just stepping in for nostalgia. Oh no, they’re doubling up on what Nike was shelling out – a cool $39 million/£30 million a year! Talk about putting the ‘adda-daa’ in Adidas! With Salah and Van Dijk out of contract, the timing couldn’t be better to bolster a few cheeky contract extensions.
Adidas execs are probably crossing their fingers and toes, hoping to see stars like Salah and Van Dijk prancing around in their fresh kits next season. Liverpool announced the switch with much fanfare, reminiscing about the good ol’ days when their kits paved the way for silverware galore. Here’s hoping those three stripes spark a winning streak of epic proportions once more!
