Premier League Temporarily Ban New “Related Party” Sponsors

In a move to tighten rules regarding “related party” sponsorship, the Premier League a looking into limiting these type of deals.

The Premier League To Tighten Sponsorship Regulation

After the Saudi takeover of Newcastle United, concerns were raised by other clubs regarding a potential transfer and wages arms race.

The current system only considered a sponsorship "related party" if it's reported as such in the club’s annual accounts. This means that deals between the likes of Manchester City and Etihad or Everton and USM (Alisher Usmanov’s company) do not fall in such category.

New deals related to the club owners are temporary banned

For now, any sponsorships proposal of this type will be refused. However, this is a temporary ban while clubs working out for a solution.

A working group has been established to tackle rule changes around sponsorship, headed by the Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters. It was established after the takeover of Newcastle United.

The value of deals should be a fair market price

They are working towards a new system that will require clubs to acquire pre-approval from the Premier League for sponsorship deals. This would ensure that the value of the contract is not inflated but at a fair market price.

The new rules would also cover shirt deals and stadium naming rights agreements.

Napoli Women 26-27 Away Kit Released

Following the launch of their ocean-themed home strip, Napoli Women have unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 season. Produced in partnership with Swedish brand Craft and creative agency Modì, the jersey represents the second chapter of the club's "Dagli abissi al cielo" (From the abyss to the sky) narrative concept.

The design draws unique inspiration from Urania, the Neapolitan protagonist of Ernesto Capocci's 1857 proto-science fiction novella about the first woman to journey to the Moon. Capocci, a famed astronomer and former director of Naples' Capodimonte Observatory, penned the story nearly a decade before Jules Verne. To reflect this lunar theme, the shirt adopts muted gray and lilac tones paired with a crater-like lunar soil texture across the raglan sleeves, side panels, and shorts. A crisp white panel on the upper back features the inscription "To the Moon," while the chest carries Napoli Women's new emblem rendered in pearl-white 3D PVC.
