Cádiz CF Set to Switch from Macron to Kappa for 2026-27 Season Kits
Cádiz CF is preparing for a fresh chapter both on and off the pitch. After securing their Segunda División survival in a tense campaign, the Andalusian club is now gearing up for a major change in their kit supplier — with Italian sportswear brand Kappa widely expected to replace Macron starting with the 2026-27 season.
While the move has not yet been made official, multiple reports indicate that Kappa will become the new technical sponsor for the Yellow Submarine’s southern cousins, marking the first time the iconic Italian brand, known for its double-stripe logo, will partner with Cádiz CF.
End of an Era: Macron’s Five-Year Legacy
The departure of Macron after five seasons brings an end to what many fans consider one of the most creative periods in Cádiz kit history. Macron took over from Adidas in 2021-22, and from the start, their approach was different. While Adidas had delivered generic templates, Macron went all-in on storytelling and local identity.
Some of the most celebrated Macron-era designs include:
- 2021-22 debut kit: A clean, classic first kit paired with a striking away shirt that immediately won over fans
- 2023-24 & 2024-25 kits: Designs inspired by the club’s glorious history, evoking key moments from Cádiz’s past
- Phoenix-themed alternate kit (2025-26): A tribute to the Phoenician roots of the city of Cádiz, one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities
- Special editions: Carnival-themed shirts, designs celebrating the club’s connection to the sea, and a Rosary band tribute
- LaLiga Retro Round kit (2025-26): Macron’s final masterpiece — a nostalgic design inspired by a cult classic shirt from Cádiz’s Segunda B days
What Kappa Brings to Cádiz
Kappa is no stranger to Spanish football. The Turin-based brand currently supplies Deportivo de La Coruña and Real Valladolid, and across Europe, they kit out Fiorentina, Empoli, Genoa, and OGC Nice. Their signature bold stripes and modern silhouettes are likely to bring a fresh aesthetic to the Cádiz yellow and blue.
The switch to Kappa adds the brand to a long and diverse list of Cádiz kit manufacturers over the club’s history, which has included Macron, Adidas, Hummel, Luanvi, Errea, Kelme, Diadora, Elements, Rasán, Massana, and Meyba.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect
Fans can expect the first Kappa-designed Cádiz kits to be unveiled in the summer months ahead of the 2026-27 season. Kappa typically brings bold, clean designs with their signature Omini logo prominently featured. Given Cádiz’s strong connection to their city and fanbase, the new collaboration is expected to continue the tradition of designs rooted in local identity.
For collectors and custom shirt enthusiasts, this manufacturer change means the 2025-26 Macron kits will be the last of their kind, making them potential collector’s items — especially the special editions from this final Macron campaign.
