Tigres UANL is set for a historic kit change, leaving Adidas after 21 years to sign with Reebok from the 2027-28 season. The move follows failed negotiations to renew the existing deal with the German brand, which expires at the end of the 2027 campaign.

The partnership with Adidas began in 2006 and spanned what many fans consider the club's 'golden era', featuring multiple domestic titles and notable continental campaigns. The deal was last renewed in 2023, running through 2027, and the 26-27 season kits were launched to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the collaboration. This supplier shift is part of a broader commercial overhaul for the club, which also includes changes to primary sponsors and broadcast partners.

Fan reaction has been mixed. While some are nostalgic for the Adidas legacy, others are looking forward to the retro-inspired designs Reebok might introduce. Star striker André-Pierre Gignac, recently naturalized as a Mexican citizen, celebrated that personal milestone by exclaiming: "¡Ya es mexicano!".

Reebok is poised to replace Adidas as Tigres UANL's kit manufacturer from the 2027-28 cycle. The American brand emerges as the leading candidate, with an agreement reportedly well advanced. This would make Tigres the second Liga MX team to wear Reebok, joining Xolos de Tijuana. Club América would then be the league's sole remaining Adidas representative.

The team's current sporting context, under manager Víctor Manuel Vucetich, adds another layer to this news. Tigres UANL sits 15th in the Liga MX standings, with 10 points from 10 games and a -3 goal difference. Their recent form is patchy, with a WLDDD record over the last five matches, including a 1-0 win over Puebla on September 27th courtesy of a Juan Brunetta penalty. The Argentine forward is the season's top scorer with 4 goals. The next challenge is a high-stakes one: they host league leaders Toluca on October 10th, a key fixture in their attempt to climb the table.

The end of a two-decade era with Adidas coincides with a period of searching for identity on the pitch. The match against Toluca will be the next step in that search as the groundwork is laid for a new chapter with Reebok.
