Schalke Need a New Main Sponsor for Bundesliga Return & Release of Adidas 22-23 Kits - No More Umbro
Jun 6, 2022, by Chris
German club FC Schalke 04 need a new main sponsor for the 2022-2023 season, according to various reports.
Schalke had been sponsored by Gazprom for 15 years. After the start of the Russian war against Ukraine, they ended the deal. They then signed a short-term deal with housing provider Vivawest.
Schalke Are Searching For New Main Sponsor For 2022-2023 Season
Vivawest agreed to pay Schalke about 4.5 million euros in the 2. Bundesliga until 2023. The company do not want to pay much more after the club's promotion - but Schalke want at least 8, if possible even 10 million euros from a new shirt sponsor.
Schalke hope to sell 80,000 jerseys in the 22-23 season
According to information from Bild, the ambitious search has been so far so slow that the cash-strapped club has called in a marketing agency (which receives around 7 to 15 percent commission).
Schalke 04 will switch kit suppliers from the 2022-23 season. From July 1, Schalke want to release the new 2022-2023 Adidas kits. The promoted team switches from Umbro (the contract is terminated early) to Adidas and 11teamsports, which together transfer about 3 million euros per season.
In the best case, Schalke wants to quickly clear the future main sponsor, so that its logo is also emblazoned on the new jerseys in time for July 1.
In the worst case, the promoted team will have to start the season with Vivawest on its chest and then change the entire collection later.
Schalke hope to sell 80,000 jerseys in the 22-23 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo Gifts IShowSpeed Ultra-Rare Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 'Gold Scorpion' Boots
Cristiano Ronaldo has gifted streamer and super-fan IShowSpeed an incredibly rare pair of football boots. The Portuguese legend presented Speed with the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Elite FG Gold Scorpion edition, adding another memorable moment to their well-documented interactions.
These boots hold significant historical value, as they were worn by Ronaldo during his final World Cup campaign. Nike created this spectacular gold design specifically for the forward to wear on the biggest international stage.
Originally, Ronaldo had planned to personally present this gift to Speed if Portugal had defeated Spain and advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals. However, after Portugal's early elimination, CR7 had to leave the special gift with a staff member, who was then asked to deliver it to Speed.
According to the staff member, Speed is one of only two people in the world to own a pair of boots that Ronaldo personally wore during the recent World Cup.
PSG to Wear Two Stars Only on Champions League Kits
Following their second consecutive UEFA Champions League triumph, Paris Saint-Germain will likely add two stars above their crest exclusively on their Champions League kits for the 2026-27 season. This info comes from PSG experts La Source Parisienne (@lasource75006).
The club has decided against featuring them on their Ligue 1 shirts. This decision "stems from a desire to maintain a clean kit aesthetic without an excess of patches, as well as a club mentality focused on securing future titles rather than resting on recent successes."
