Inter to Ditch Pirelli Amid Chinese Takeover?
Inter Milan surprised its fans today by turning up to training with the Pirelli sponsor logos covered with tape, after it was totally normal the day before. This immediately prompted speculation over a possible new main sponsor at Inter, speculation which had never really stopped despite the club and tire producer signing a new deal in February.
Today, the Pirelli logos normally visible on the front of Inter's training gear were more or less well hidden under tape covering. This most likely is a way to put pressure on Pirelli, much like when players are 'blacking-out' sponsor logos on their boots in order to improve their bargaining power.
It was previously rumored that the new agreement between Inter and Pirelli had clauses to allow either party to cut short the deal, as was the possibility of new club owner, Chinese company Suning bringing new sponsors that are willing to offer larger sums of money compared to the Italian company.
What do you think? Will Inter soon cancel the Pirelli contract and unveil a new main sponsor? Let us know in the comments below, and make sure to stay tuned as the story evolves.

Figueirense 26-27 Home Kit Released
Brazilian Série C side Figueirense has officially unveiled its new home jersey for the 2026-2027 season, produced by domestic technical partner Volt Sport. The new primary uniform directly follows the recent release of the club's away kit and serves as a major part of the team's ongoing celebrations to mark the 105th anniversary of their founding in 1921.
The Figueirense 26-27 home shirt remains deeply rooted in tradition, featuring the club's classic black and white vertical stripes. However, Volt Sport has elevated the historic aesthetic by deeply embossing the black stripes with commemorative elements that honor the club's 105-year history. The heavily detailed body is framed by solid black sleeves and a matching black block on the back for player numbering. The look is completed by a classic black polo collar and sleeve cuffs, both of which are detailed with ribbed white striping.
Further custom details are integrated throughout the garment, including the phrase "Avante Figueirense, pra frente Furacão" printed along the inner hem.
In a final nod to the milestone year, a special 105th-anniversary seal is applied to the lower right corner of the shirt.

Shamrock Rovers 2026 Third Kit Released
Irish champions Shamrock Rovers have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026 League of Ireland season, completing their matchday lineup following the earlier releases of their home and away strips. Produced by technical partner Macron, the latest design injects a bold, contemporary aesthetic into the Dublin-based club's apparel, specifically drawing on streetwear influences and urban styling to create a vibrant alternative look.
The new Shamrock Rovers 2026 third shirt utilizes a bright yellow base, which is immediately broken up by an intricate, sublimated geometric graphic. This dynamic pattern is composed of diagonal and vertical green and black bands featuring broken lines and a distinct paintbrush effect, giving the garment a highly textured and energetic appearance. The striking yellow foundation is smartly framed by an asymmetrical green and black crew-neck collar, with matching knitted sleeve cuffs providing visual continuity.
The new third kit will be worn for the first time during the Rovers' away fixture against Dundalk on Friday night.
