Vasco chiefs give thumbs up to Nike’s kit, check it out | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama is preparing for a significant change in its sports identity. Starting in 2026, the club will be outfitted by Nike, ending its partnership with Kappa, which is in effect until the end of this season. The new agreement with the American supplier will last for seven years and promises to position the Cruzmaltino at a new level of global visibility.

While the official announcement has not yet been made — something expected by the end of the year — Vasco officials and Nike representatives are still adjusting contractual details and the launch schedule for the new uniforms. In recent weeks, club executives have already had access to the base material that will be used in the making of the jerseys and approved the quality and technology employed, features that are part of the brand's international standard.

According to information from the portal MKT Esportivo, the partnership goes far beyond the production of uniforms. The idea is to integrate Vasco into a global Nike model, with international presence in the brand's stores in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The development and design of the products will be carried out in the supplier's offices outside Brazil, while the distribution will be organized to ensure greater worldwide visibility for the Cruzmaltino jersey.

Nike has already started logistics tests in the Brazilian market, presenting part of its new product line to retailers. Although the final model of Vasco's uniform has not yet been shown, the event served to bring the brand closer to retail and gauge sales potential.

With production already scheduled for the beginning of 2026, Nike plans to expand its presence in Brazilian football, reinforcing long-term partnerships. In addition to Vasco, the company has signed an agreement with Atlético-MG and renewed with the Brazilian National Team and Corinthians.

On social media, the Rio de Janeiro club has incorporated visual elements that refer to Nike's identity, which caught the attention of fans. The graphic style and fonts used in recent posts reinforced the harmony between Vasco and its future supplier.

It is worth remembering that before the agreement with Nike, Puma, Mizuno, Diadora, and Kappa itself showed interest in outfitting the Cruzmaltino, but negotiations did not progress. The American multinational ended up taking the lead and sealing the long-term commitment with the São Januário club.
