Great News For Fans - Gladbach Loses Main Sponsor Postbank
Aug 9, 2019, by Chris
Borussia Mönchengladbach has to find a new main sponsor for the season 2020-21 - German bank "Postbank" will cease its main sponsorship with the German club at the end of the 2019-20 season.
Postbank has been Borussia's main and jersey sponsor since July 2009. In April 2014, the sponsoring agreement was extended ahead of schedule until 2020. Borussia Mönchengladbach receives estimated 6.5 million Euro from Postbank. In the case of sporting successes, such as participation in the European Cup, up to 7.5 million Euro are going to the club.
Gladbach To Get New Main Sponsor For 2020-21 Season
"From summer 2020, Postbank will no longer be our main sponsor," Guido Uhle, Borussia's authorized signatory and sponsoring director, is quoted on the association's homepage. The step came as no surprise for the club, "after all, we at Borussia heard the news about developments at the DB Privat- und Firmenkundenbank, whose branch Postbank has been since 2018.
Uhle commented: "Negotiations with Postbank for an extension were concluded. It was the express wish of both sides to continue this partnership. But as an association, we understand and respect Postbank's decision, which unfortunately came about due to cost pressure from Deutsche Bank."
The development will not have any impact on the season now beginning. "The contract with Postbank expires in summer 2020. Until then, the main sponsor will be the reliable and trustworthy partner on Borussia's side, which it has been since 2009," says Uhle.
Postbank has been the ninth Borussia shirt sponsor in history. The search for number ten is now underway. "We are entering this exploratory phase quite openly. There is a market for Borussia. We are interesting for many companies," explains Uhle. "It is our clear goal to find a partner who fits the philosophy and values that Borussia stands for and who is interested in a long-term and sustainable partnership.

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.
