Under Armour to Become AS Monaco Kit Supplier
May 1, 2017, by Chris
Under Armour has contacted AS Monaco to express its interesting in making the kits of the Monegasque club, according to information of French radio station RMC Sport. AS Monaco is under contract with Nike until 2019, while the club is set to starts negotiations about a new contract in the coming weeks.
Thanks to a very successful campaign so far, AS Monaco will exhaust its entire stock of jerseys before the end of the season for the first time ever. This, together with Monaco's success in the Champions League, is expected to allow the club to upgrade its contract with Nike. The number of jerseys sold is between 180,000 and 200,000, exceeding the sales of Olympique Lyonnaises, which are estimated at 180,000.
Under Armour Wants to Become Monaco's New Kit Supplier
Thanks to recent sales records, AS Monaco hopes to improve its contract with Nike significantly. RMC reports that the club will renegotiate its contract in the coming weeks.
RMC also reports that the American brand Under Armour, which wants to establish itself in European football, has contacted Monaco and expressed its interest in becoming an equipment manufacturer. The club did not wish to comment on this information.

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
