Reebok and NorthEast United FC: A Powerhouse Collaboration for Indian Football

The "Vector" is back! After a long wait, legendary sports brand Reebok has officially returned to the Indian pitch by partnering with North-East United FC (NEUFC).

When does the 2025-26 ISL Season Start?

If you’ve been checking the calendar, you’ll know things are a bit different this year. After some administrative delays and roadmap discussions, the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season is tentatively scheduled to kick off on February 5, 2026. This season is historic because it’s the first time we are seeing a major shift in how the league is run, moving toward a more sustainable model that aligns with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) calendar.

The Kit Battle: Who is Partnering with Whom?

 here is the current breakdown of major kit collaborations:

• NorthEast United FC -Reebok
• Mumbai City FC -Puma
• Bengaluru FC -Puma
• Kerala Blasters -Six5Six
• FC Goa -Six5Six
• Mohun Bagan SG-Skechers
• East Bengal FC -Trak Only
• Jamshedpur FC -Nivia
• Punjab FC -Shiv Naresh

Why the Reebok x NEUFC Collab is Different

While other clubs have solid deals, the Reebok-NEUFC tie-up feels more personal. Reebok is using its "global football push" (similar to their deals with Botafogo and Charlton Athletic) to focus on the Northeast—the heartbeat of Indian football.
 By bringing in Reebok in 2026, he’s giving the fans high-performance gear that matches the intensity they bring to the stands.

The road to the February 5th kickoff has been a bit bumpy, but seeing brands like Reebok, Puma, and Skechers invest so heavily in Indian football proves one thing: The world is watching our game.
Which club do you think has the best-looking kit  for 2026? I’m personally leaning towards the Reebok x NEUFC look, but I want to hear from the fans! comments needed
