Nike spring a surprise, planning major Vasco collection for 2026 | OneFootball

Nike has already completed the design of Vasco’s entire casual line, including the winter collection set to launch throughout 2026. The information was released by journalist Rodrigo Silvério. In addition, the professional team’s kits, which will mark the beginning of a new era with the American supplier, are also finalized.

The 2025 season will officially end the club’s long partnership with Kappa, a collaboration that began in 1995 and is coming to a close with a special farewell initiative. On the 8th of this month, a limited kit for collectors will be launched: a jersey inspired by the model used in 1995, accompanied by a hardcover book. There will be only 1,000 numbered units — a premium item to close the brand’s chapter at São Januário.

The farewell comes months after the launch of the new third kit, which symbolized the Italian supplier’s goodbye, and also after the black jersey developed with Braziline for Black November, inspired by African cultural references.

Global Expansion with Nike

The partnership with Nike is seen as a step toward Vasco’s institutional repositioning. The seven-year contract stipulates that Vasco products will be distributed in the brand’s stores in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The idea is to expand the club’s international reach with designs developed by the company’s global offices.

Part of this new line has already been presented to Brazilian retailers for logistical adjustments and market evaluation. Although the final models are still under wraps, Vasco executives have already seen prototypes featuring technology similar to that used in other elite Nike contracts.

Industrial production begins in 2026, the year the American brand strengthens its presence in Brazilian football by signing with Atlético-MG and renewing agreements with the Brazilian National Team and Corinthians.

Vasco fans can expect a wave of new releases — and a variety of unprecedented pieces — in their wardrobes starting next year.
