Reading Announce Casumo Shirt Sponsorship Deal
Jun 29, 2019, by Pat
Championship club Reading have announced a two-year deal with Casumo, an operator of online casinos, to become the club's new main and shirt sponsor.
Casumo replaces previous Reading main sponsor, energy drink brand Carabao. Due to Casumo being a casino brand, the logo will only appear on the adult replica shirts for Reading.
Greg Tatton-Brown, UK & Ireland Country Manager, said: “Casumo is extremely excited to launch this partnership with Reading Football Club, in what is an historic moment for our brand.
"We are passionate about working with the Royals to make Madejski Stadium a fun, vibrant and exciting environment for its fans over the course of the next two years.”
Named Online Casino Operator of the Year at the 2019 International Gaming Awards, Casumo continues to develop and promote a modern and responsible way of playing and gambling online. It has recently released its sports betting product in select markets and aims to release it to UK players in the coming months.
Chief Executive of Reading FC, Nigel Howe, said: “As a club we celebrate our history, football traditions and our glories gone by - but we also pride ourselves on being innovative and forward-thinking.
"Like Casumo, we strive to provide a fun, friendly and exhilarating environment for our fans and we look forward to working closely with Casumo this season and beyond.”
The first-ever Reading kits to feature the Casumo logo, produced by new kit brand Macron, are set to be launched in early July.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
