Nottingham Forest announce new kit deal with adidas - Here’s our top 5 retro Forest kits

As Forest officially announce adidas as their new kit sponsor, we take a trip through memory lane and enjoy our favourite Forest adidas strips

Nottingham Forest have officially announced what most of us already knew; the exciting news that The Reds’ 23/24 kit will be designed by adidas.

Despite some leaks online which appear to show players posing for photos in the new kit, the club will launch the new away strip in conjunction with the opening of their new look megastore:

“This exciting new partnership will also see a huge renovation to Forest’s official megastore, which will reopen on Friday 14 July alongside the reveal of Forest’s 23/24 adidas away kit.

“Forest has a proud long-standing history with adidas having had the iconic three stripes on its shirt when the Club won back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980 during a nine-year partnership from 1977. adidas were also Forest’s official kit manufacturers between 2013 and 2018.”

The home kit will be revealed the day before, on Thursday 13 July. You can read the club’s full statement here.

Forest reportedly had an agreement with Macron until 2025 but opted to accept what has been called the most lucrative sponsorship deal in the club’s history.

Club officials have been in discussions with adidas for a long time, ensuring the new design not only flies off the shelves, but reflects Forest’s historic partnership with adidas.

Theirs is still little news on Forest’s potential sponsor for the upcoming season, but whatever it is, it’s going to look good on the famous three stripes.

As we await the reveal of the new adidas kit, our reporter Max Scott takes a look back at some of Forest’s most iconic adidas kits.
