West Ham United will wear kits designed by adidas after a gap of 26 years since the club last wore the famous brand with the three stripes.

The Hammers deal with adidas goes into effect on June 1. The agreement will see the German sport manufacturer designing their kits, training wear and equipment for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

West Ham United began their first partnership with adidas in 1980 when the kit manufacturer took over from Admiral, and designed West Ham’s kits from 1980-1987. Since then, West Ham United have worked with seven different kit manufacturers.

West Ham United currently wear kits manufactured by Macron, an Italian company.
