Insane: Sporting CP & Nike to Release 9! Kits in 2025-26 Season

Napoli released even more kits and everybody hated it - Sporting's plan is risky
This large number of kits is linked to the club's strategy to capitalize on its recent record-breaking merchandise sales.
This and last season, Sporting has four different kits, which is nothing unusual in modern football. However, nine is on another level.
Even though nine kits sound insane, Sporting's number of kits are not a record. Napoli released 13 kits in the 2011-2012 season, a move that was slashed by most.
Footy Headlines has no confirmed info about what kits Sporting will release in the 2025-26 season, but it seems safe that we will see a Stromp kit. In addition, a 120-year anniversary kit would make sense in 2026. Sporting CP celebrates its 120th birthday on 1 July 2026.
Do you think releasing nine kits will be a success? Is it just too much? Let us know in the comments below.
