Austrian 2013-14 league champions Red Bull Salzburg signed a new kit deal with the US-giant Nike, replacing Adidas.
The new Nike Red Bull Kit contract also includes the kits of the partner club RB Leipzig, who will play in the 2.Bundesliga next season, promoted from the third division. Curiously, as Adidas is the exclusive kit supplier of the MLS until 2018, Red Bull New York will still receive Adidas Kits.
Therefore, Adidas and Nike kit will design respectively kits with a similar design. That makes it possible to compare the efforts of the two biggest sport brands designing the new Red Bull Kits.
Nike and Red Bull Salzburg signed a ten years kit from the 2014-15 season, at least until 2024. While no further contract details were unveiled, Red Bull Salzburg commented the deal.
Sports Director Ralf Rangnick said about the upcoming co-operation: I am delighted that we have found the global brand Nike as a long-term partner for our two locations in Leipzig and Salzburg. We are convinced that working with this strong brand represents a further important factor in the development of our two clubs.
The new Red Bull Salzburg 14-15 Kits are expected to be unveiled in July 2014.
