Trent Rockets will wear the iconic Nike swoosh in The Hundred from 2026, in the first season of a multi-year partnership.
One of the world’s most recognisable sports brands, Nike will feature on the Rockets’ men’s and women’s kits through an official partnership with KitKing, with the team’s eye-catching yellow and red set to feature prominently.
Trent Rockets' first Nike-branded kits will be unveiled, and available to purchase, before the team return to Trent Bridge for a sixth season between 26 July and 10 August.
“With their richly-deserved reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious sports brands, it feels entirely fitting for Trent Rockets to be wearing the Nike swoosh as we look to take the team to the next level this summer," said Lisa Pursehouse, Chief Executive of Trent Rockets.
"The sea of yellow and red in the stands at Rockets home games has been really striking ever since The Hundred began, and we're looking forward to unveiling the evolution of those unmistakable Rockets colours."
The identity of the players who will wear the Rockets’ Nike-branded apparel will be revealed at The Hundred Auction this week, with some of the world’s best players in the running to be selected.
“This agreement reflects where we are heading as a franchise and brings world-class technical support to both our men’s and women’s teams,” said Jonathan Goldstein, Chairman of Trent Rockets and Co-Founder and Chief Executive of Cain, which owns a 49% stake in Trent Rockets alongside Ares Management Credit Funds.
“We are building something we want fans to be proud of. Having Nike with us for the next three seasons gives our players the very best on the pitch and strengthens what we are creating around the club for everyone who supports the Rockets.”
Dips Patel, CEO of KitKing, added: “We’re delighted to partner with a local East Midlands based club to bring an iconic brand like Nike to Trent Rockets.
"As the dad of two cricket-playing daughters, I’ve attended Trent Bridge every year since the start of The Hundred, and the Rockets’ unmistakable yellow and orange kit has been a big part of the experience.
"We are looking forward to working with the Trent Rockets team to support building their brand within the East Midlands and around the world.”
