Almeria to Join Castore - No More Puma
Jun 10, 2022, by John
Almeria, who were recently promoted to La Liga, are reportedly leaving Puma for Castore. They are one of many club's to partner with Castore for the 2022-23 season.
Almeria to Sign With Castore
It has been reported by Diario de Almeria that UD Almeria will be leaving Puma for Castore. The British brand, founded in 2015, have massively expanded their reach in Europe this summer, signing with a multitude of clubs.
Almeria meanwhile only joined Puma two years ago, opting to leave the German brand early. Puma supplied Almeria with bespoke kits, something that predecessors Adidas (miteam or teamwear) and Nike (teamwear) did not do.
We expect Castore to provide the Spanish club with fully bespoke designs. Almeria would be Castore's second La Liga team, after they signed a deal with Sevilla recently.

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.
