SSC Napoli Owns Image Rights Of Players
“With the signature of this important deal, which follows that of Lorenzo Insigne, the inclusion of another four of our players consolidates the collaboration with Adidas,” said President De Laurentiis.
“This agreement further reinforces our strategy of owning image rights, unique on the football landscape, and is another example of the way Napoli are making the most of their players in commercial terms.”
Napoli is a real unicum case in the management of image rights in the international football scene. The club claims 100% of the player's image rights, which gives the player higher gross wages while making it not possible to get money from indiviudal deals; Only Rafa Benitez, Pepe Reina, and Gonzalo Higuain own 50% of their image rights, while Marek Hamsik managed to obtain 100% of the rights to use his image in Slovakia.

Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
