Nike’s behind-the-scenes reasons for the delayed second kit revealed | OneFootball

The absence of Vasco’s second kit at the initial launch of the new partnership with Nike caught the attention of fans on social media, but the situation has an explanation linked to the behind-the-scenes workings of the sports industry.

According to information obtained by SDM Links, some kit models may reach the market on different dates, just as happens with the player versions. This occurs because the supplier can only begin large-scale production after the official end of the previous contract. Although production is already underway, there was not enough time for all models to be ready simultaneously.

Another determining factor involves logistics. The player version is manufactured in the international market, which requires longer production and distribution times. For this reason, the trend is that the first launch will only feature Kit 1, in the PRO fan version, which is, in fact, the most sold.

This scenario is considered absolutely normal within the sports market and should not be interpreted as a failure or oversight on Nike’s part. The football calendar has undergone significant changes in recent years, with competitions increasingly overlapping and the proximity of a World Cup, factors that directly impact the suppliers’ launch planning.

The expectation is that the other kits will be launched in future drops, as production and logistics allow.
