Fiorentina Kit Deal: Mizuno Poised to Replace Kappa from Next Season

Reports indicate that Fiorentina may soon announce a new kit supplier, with Japanese brand Mizuno expected to take over when the current agreement with Kappa concludes at the end of the season. The Serie A side, known for its distinctive violet home colour and a rich history that includes the late‑1990s Nintendo sponsorship and Gabriel Batistuta’s prolific goalscoring, has long held a nostalgic place in football culture.
Current Partnership with Kappa
Italian brand Kappa has been responsible for Fiorentina’s matchday kits since 2020, delivering several well‑received designs along the way. The 2023/24 collection was particularly praised. However, with that deal expiring this summer, the club appears ready to make a change.
Mizuno’s Growing European Presence
Mizuno has been steadily rebuilding its footprint in European football after a period away. The Japanese manufacturer currently supplies Lazio in Serie A, FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga, and AS Monaco in Ligue 1 — the latter having also moved away from Kappa after a six‑year partnership. A potential deal with Fiorentina would underline Mizuno’s increasing ambition in the kit market.
History Between Mizuno and Fiorentina
This would not be a first collaboration. The two parties worked together briefly during the 2001/02 season, before the club entered bankruptcy and was reformed the following year. A reunion now would create a sense of footballing symmetry.
Past Interest from Joma
Last summer, Spanish brand Joma was heavily linked with Fiorentina and was reportedly in a strong position to secure the contract. That deal ultimately collapsed, leaving the door open for Mizuno to step in.
What This Means for the Club’s Identity
Mizuno has long been respected in the boot market, but this move signals a clear push to become a major player in European kit supply. If confirmed, combining Mizuno’s refined design aesthetic with Fiorentina’s unmistakable violet identity could produce a highly anticipated first release — a revival of the 2001/02 strip.
Official confirmation has not yet been announced, but the arrangement appears close to completion. Mizuno‑produced Fiorentina kits are expected to debut around July this year.
