Inter Milan & Nike In Clash Because of Moncler Deal
Nike want to reduce their payment to Internazionale by €1 million because of Inter's deal with Moncler.
Nike pay Inter just 10 million Euro a season
Nike have been sponsoring Inter since 1998. The current deal expires in June 2024. Nike pay Inter around €10 million a season, much less than other big teams, including Juventus (€51 million from Adidas/season).
Nike Say Moncler Deal Overlaps With Their Deal
Nike have considered the partnership between the Nerazzurri club and the Italian brand of French origin a violation of their agreement with Inter. This has been revealed by Calcio e Finanza, who were able to view internal documents.
Nike’s sponsorship deal with Inter reportedly includes a clause that limits the Nerazzurri from entering into other clothing and shoes partnerships, but which makes an exception for formal wear.
"Under the sponsorship agreement with Nike, we may enter into agreements with clothing and footwear brands limited to formal clothing and formal shoes," the Nerazzurri club explained in the documents. "Following the signing of the sponsorship agreement with Moncler, Nike have formally informed us that it intends to reduce the base commission by €1 million Euro per year as compensation for waiving this limitation and allowing the sponsorship agreement with Moncler."
Adidas were rumored to become Inter's new kit maker
"We are currently in discussions with Nike as we believe our relationship with Moncler is fully compliant with the terms of the existing sponsorship agreement with Nike, but we cannot rule out Nike attempting to withhold this amount from the base commission payment in the future or attempting to seek any other remedy."

Adidas Launches Special 26-27 Dog Kit for Real Madrid
Adidas has released a dedicated kit for dogs linked to Real Madrid. The designs adapt the club's new 2026-2027 home kit.

Arsenal Sends Kit Without Adidas Logo & Arsenal Crest
Arsenal shirt collector @NathanPanter_52 has posted images of the 26-27 home shirt bought for £136 that is missing both the Adidas logo and the club crest. The item is an official product - it is very uncommon that something like that happens.
LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
A quick color analysis of Newcastle's 26-27 home kit. It are not the colors that make this shirt bad, unlike the Madrid 26-27 kit.
