2021-22 Kits To Be Not Made by Stone Island - Carlo Rivetti Completes Purchase Of Modena FC
May 30, 2021, by Khoi
Modena FC has officially confirmed that the deal between Carlo Rivetti's Rivetex S.R.L. and Kerakoll Spa, the owner of the club, has been finalised. The Stone Island's CEO bought the club outright and will replace the current club president Romano Sghedoni.
Sghedoni, who is also president of Kerakoll wrote a farewell message after the announcement. It reads: "Since the beginning of my adventure at Modena in 2018 I knew that sooner or later I would have to pass the baton, as my age requires it to be. This time has come."
"I want to thank you for the time we spent together, for your dedication, your commitment, and above all for your kindness, which will stay with me forever."
He also speaks about the deal with Rivetex in the press release on Modena FC's website: "Modena Calcio is a club with an important tradition and history in the Italian football scene and with strong roots in the territory.
"I am sure the people of the Rivetti family possess the excellent principles and values required to ensure that the Canary will continue to grow further [...]"
More details of the operation of Modena FC's plan for next season will be discussed on June 3rd at the Braglia Stadium.
Unfortunately, any hope of a Stone Island football kit is quashed, as Rivetex confirms in the press release that this is "a personal operation" and "completely unrelated to any other activities that see them involved."

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
