Liga MX To Get Single Kit Maker For All Teams?
The Mexican first division, known as Liga MX, studies drastic changes in their business model to enhance competition and ensure greater recurring revenue to all clubs. Among the ideas is the exclusive production of all team uniforms from the same supplier.
The MLS and the Chinese Super League are the only big football leagues with one single supplier
Currently, USA's MLS and the Chinese Super League are the only big football leagues with one supplier for all teams. In other US sports like American Football, basketball and ice hockey, it is common that one brand makes the uniforms for all teams.
The Covid-19 pandemic drastically affected the team's finances and the centralized asset sales model. In addition to one-supplier only uniforms, the television rights, advertising signs and activations on social networks are also in the package imagined by the league.
Liga MX President Talks About Idea Of League-Wide Kit Maker
“We have to prove that the market pays more if it is negotiated by the league. If you are Pumas and earn five pesos for selling the rights to your uniform, you will not release it to me if I do not guarantee that you will earn more than five."
The big obstacle is that the big clubs accept a centralization in the agreement
"You will not even see controversy, we will ask the market what they think of the uniform of one of the three most important leagues on the continent, we will see what the market tells us. I have evidence and I am sure that the market will give us more than we currently have,” explained Mikel Arriola, executive president of Liga MX, to ESPN Deportes, Mexico.
The big obstacle, as explained by Mikel Arriola, is the fact that the big clubs accept a centralization in the agreement. The big clubs such as Club América, Tigres, PUMAS, Monterrey and Chivas Guadalajara have the most valuable contracts in the country.
There are assets that we can sell better if we centralize
“There are assets that we can sell better if we centralize. If we centralize something that is negotiated by many parties, we need to generate economies of scale and receive more than each participant receives, we are seeing which assets we can put in this basket. Uniforms, advertising, because it is urgent to return the flow of money to the teams to invest in talent, which is what is invested, in addition to the basic forces, and this to deliver the best possible to the public”, added Arriola.
Liga MX 2020-21 Kit Makers
Currently, of the 18 teams in the Liga MX, Mexican Charly Futbol supplies five teams (Atlas, Pachuca, Querétaro, Santos Laguna and Tijuana). Another national brand, Pirma, supplies four clubs (Atlético San Luís, Club León, Mazatlán and Necaxa). Nike and Puma both supply two teams, while another five suppliers have one team each.
Our Evaluation - League-Wide Kit Very Unlikely In Near Future
We think it is just "load thinking" about an idea without any further concrete steps to be taken soon - Mikel Arriola has been the executive president of the league just since December 2019.
What do you think of the president thinking about signing an exclusive kit supplier agreement for the league? Do you think chances are high that the league will get a single kit maker for all teams? Comment below.

Ezeta and Daniel Norris Reveal New Tivoli Calcio Logo
Italian creative sports brand Ezeta has officially presented a brand-new logo for Tivoli Calcio 1919. Designed in collaboration with graphic designer Daniel Norris, the updated crest aligns perfectly with Ezeta's established reputation for blending modern design aesthetics with deep local history, providing the Italian side with a highly bespoke and culturally resonant identity.
The newly unveiled emblem intricately weaves several of the city's most recognizable historical landmarks and symbols into a single, cohesive design. The crest prominently features a traditional eagle, the historic Rocca Pia fortress, a classic three-arched bridge, and the flowing waters of the Aniene River. These carefully chosen elements have long safeguarded the historical identity of Tivoli, and their inclusion ensures the club's badge remains deeply connected to its geographical roots.
According to Ezeta, the updated logo was specifically created to celebrate the city's rich heritage and highlight the pride of the local "Tiburtini" people.

Leaked: Official Look at Nike x Palace England Jacket and Boots
Following the announcement of the highly anticipated England x Nike x Palace World Cup collection, we have the first detailed images, courtesy of sneaker insider @vladieboi.
The image shows a striking full-zip Enfland Palace track jacket paired with matching pants. The tracksuit features a two-tone grey and silver colorway, dominated by a geometric, repeating cross pattern that serves as a subtle, stylized nod to the St. George's Cross. The defining detail, however, sits on the right chest: a bespoke co-branded logo that sees the iconic red Nike Swoosh slicing directly through the famous Palace Tri-Ferg emblem, sitting opposite the traditional England national team crest.
Also visible is a pair of retro-inspired Nike x Palace footwear. Bearing a strong resemblance to classic heritage silhouettes like the Nike Premier, the black shoes feature a nostalgic fold-over tongue adorned with bold red "PALACE" text and a small white Swoosh. The boots come with a cage, making it easy to wear them on the streets.

River Plate Unearth Previously Unknown 1914 Crest
Argentine giants River Plate have officially unveiled a previously undiscovered crest from 1914. The historic emblem was revealed by the club's Museum, Trophies, and History Department as part of their 125th-anniversary celebrations. With the official recognition of this newly found design, the total number of crests used throughout River Plate's extensive history has now risen to 24.
The vintage logo features a circular shape characterized by striking Art Nouveau typography, perfectly reflecting the popular artistic trends of the early 20th century. This unique piece of footballing heritage was discovered on an original membership card belonging to Esteban Fortunati, the club's fourth-ever member and a key figure who served as vice president and treasurer during their formative years. The historic document was recently brought to the River Plate museum by his great-granddaughter, Florencia Gilardón, allowing the club to officially preserve the forgotten emblem.
This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the early visual identity of River Plate, showcasing a completely different aesthetic long before their iconic "CARP" monogram became a globally recognized symbol.
How do you think this circular 1914 Art Nouveau crest compares to River Plate's modern badges? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Hertha Berlin Announces Sparda-Bank Berlin as New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor
German 2. Bundesliga side Hertha BSC has officially announced a new front-of-shirt sponsorship agreement. Starting July 1, the logo of Sparda-Bank Berlin will feature prominently across the chest of the club's kits. The cooperative bank is stepping up its involvement with the capital city club, having already served as Hertha's official sleeve sponsor during the previous campaign.
The new primary sponsorship contract is set to run for four seasons, keeping Sparda-Bank Berlin on the front of the shirts until the end of the 2029-2030 season. This long-term agreement marks the official end of the club's relationship with previous main sponsor Checkcars24, whose branding will no longer appear on the club's uniforms. Checkcars24 did not pay Hertha for more than half a year, which led to the end of the deal.
Hertha Managing Director Peter Görlich praised the expanded partnership, highlighting the bank's strong regional roots and the proven success of their existing relationship. According to the club's official press release, the new deal will extend far beyond matchday visibility, with both parties committed to tackling specific social initiatives over the next four years. These upcoming community projects will include promoting financial education, supporting partner clubs in the Brandenburg region, and funding campaigns in the fight against cancer.
