What to do if your most famous player is sponsored by the biggest rival of your main sponsor`? Nike-owned Jordan brand cleverly solved this problem for the launch of the PSG 21-22 fourth kit.
Maradona was very clever forty years ago
Nike-Owned Jordan Brand Hides Messi Shoes In Every Picture
In all the launch pictures for the PSG 2021-22 fourth kit, Messi's shoes are hidden behind a black poster with the lettering "Jordan Paris Saint-Germain Spring 22".
Puma-sponsored Neymar is not featured in the pictures
It will likely remain a mystery which boots Messi wore on both pictures but it was certainly no Nike's.
Meanwhile, Puma-sponsored Neymar did not appear on any launch pictures of the Jordan PSG 2021-22 fourth kit.
As noted by genial La Casaca, Maradona manages to show off his Puma boots despite Adidas (back then owner of Le Coq Sportif) trying to prevent it with some sports bags.
There are many other examples of brands/players upset their rival brands. In 2013, Adidas were very unhappy that new signing Mario Götze was wearing a big logo Nike shirt when presented as a Bayern player.

Sukhothai FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Thai League 1 side Sukhothai FC and local brand Warrix have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The launch rounds out the Fire Bats' wardrobe for the campaign following the earlier arrivals of their home and away uniforms.
The Warrix Sukhothai FC 26-27 third jersey brings a fresh and distinct aesthetic, featuring a light lavender purple base paired with vibrant orange accents on the shoulders and sleeve cuffs. Deep purple panels run along the sides, while a clean white V-neck collar finishes the look. A subtle all-over tonal pattern decorates the body, complemented by the club crest on the left chest, Warrix branding, and front sponsors CP and Chang.
Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest Kit Spotted for Sale
The upcoming Adidas Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey has been spotted hanging on retail racks ahead of its official launch in September.
Moving away from the club's traditional Bavarian-inspired palettes and subtle motifs of previous years, the new Wiesn shirt introduces a radical look featuring a vibrant, multicolored abstract graphic set against a black base. The energetic design is complemented by off-white Three Stripes on the shoulders, the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, an ornate heritage Bayern Munich crest, and cream sponsor detailing.
Bukayo Saka and Yan Diomande Debut Whiteout New Balance Furon V9 Boots
Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
