Rangers Refuse To Wear Scottish Premiership Sleeve Badge
Sep 27, 2021, by Chris
Scottish champions Rangers FC are refusing to wear the league's official sleeve badge.
Since the start of the 2021-2022 season, cinch, an online used car marketplace, is the title sponsor of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). The Scottish Premiership is known as SPFL cinch Premiership as part of the five-year deal - until 2026.
Rangers FC Refuses To Wear Cinch Scottish Premiership Logo - "Conflict To Current Sponsorship of Club"
Rangers are claiming the cinch deal is in conflict with a current Rangers sponsorship deal. In fact, their Chairman Douglas Park owns the Parks of Hamilton motoring business which is a rival to Cinch.
The club has refused to display Cinch logos on their shirts in all Scottish Premiership games of the season, and there was no cinch branding at Ibrox.
The cinch deal is worth 1.6 million GBP per season, with eighty percent of the annual sponsorship pot paid to the clubs in the first division.

Burnley Forced to Wear Ajax Socks in 26-27 Pre-Season Friendly
An unusual kit mishap occurred during the pre-season friendly between Ajax and Burnley at the Johan Cruyff Arena on July 26, 2026. Burnley lined up in their light blue Castore change kit for the match, but a kit color clash forced the English side into an unexpected equipment modification right before kickoff.
With Ajax wearing their traditional red and white home kit paired with white socks, Burnley's kit management only had white socks available, creating an obvious sock clash. To allow the match to proceed smoothly, Ajax came to the rescue by lending Burnley a set of their dark blue Adidas socks.
Burnley players wore the dark blue Ajax socks throughout the match, with many players cutting off the lower foot section to wear them as sleeves over their white grip socks. Consequently, the Ajax branding and Adidas logo were clearly visible on the legs of Burnley's players during the game, which eventually ended in a 2-1 win for Ajax.

The kit comes in a royal blue base highlighted by gold details, including the iconic Adidas three stripes on the shoulders, gold main sponsor branding, and gold player names and numbers on the back.
