No Adidas?! Kappa Already Extended Napoli Kit Deal In 2019
There have been many rumors that Adidas could make the kits of Italian club Napoli from the start of the 2020-21 season. However, now one of our followers made us aware that this is very unlikely - Kappa has a deal with SSC Napoli valid until 2022, signed already some time ago.
Kappa Renewed SSC Napoli Kit Deal In 2019 Until 2022
On August 23 2019, it was announced that "BasicNet Group, owner of the Kappa® brand, and Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli renewed a further two-year technical partnership (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). The agreement came before the natural expiration of the sponsorship contract, which should have coincided with the end of the 2019-2020 sports season."
The rumors of Adidas becoming Napoli's kit maker first surfaced in 2018, while the last report about a possible Adidas Napoli partnership was published in April 2019 - there had been no Adidas SSC Napoli rumors after Napoli and Kappa extended their partnership.
So this means, if nothing extraordinary happens, that the Omini brand will kit the Neapolitan athletes on and off the pitch until 2022, thus completing its seventh consecutive sports season at the side of the Napoli club.
