Nottingham Forest to Start Season in Sponsorless Shirts? Still Without Main Sponsor
Newly-promoted Nottingham Forest are still without a shirt sponsor for the 22-23 season, less than two weeks out from the start of the campaign. Sportbusiness report that they have already refused proposals that do not match their desired fee of £10 million per season.
Nottingham Forest Without Shirt Sponsor
Forest have revealed their new shirts and new signings with the chest left blank. They had been sponsored by boiler manufacturer BOXT last season, but the company confirmed on Monday that they will not be renewing that deal. Prior to that, virtual stock market and betting platform Football Index adorned their shirts, but that partnership ended abruptly when the company collapsed, in what should serve as a cautionary tale for other clubs when it comes to getting into bed with betting and crypto sponsorships.
Now that Nottingham Forest can boast Premier League status, they are in a position to negotiate more valuable contracts with sponsors thanks to the vastly increased exposure they can guarantee potential suitors. BOXT say they had a "multi million pound offer" to remain as shirt sponsor turned down, and therefore decided to pull out of the race.

The club were in negotiations with other companies but have not yet received an offer that they deem acceptable, with SportBusiness reporting that a deal worth around £10 million a season would see them put pen to paper. It remains to be seen who will stump up the cash to have their name on the front of Forest's shirt, or if the club will have to settle for a smaller sum. For now, starting the Premier League season in sponsorless shirts is a real possibility.

All-New Ligue 3 Revealed
The French Football Federation (FFF) has officially announced the launch of the fully professional "Ligue 3" for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, permanently replacing the current third-tier Championnat National. This historic move marks the first time the FFF will directly organize a professional men's league.
As part of this major restructuring of the French football pyramid, the lower divisions will also be renamed for better clarity: the current National 2 will become National 1, and National 3 will shift to National 2. The newly formed 18-team Ligue 3 aims to bring greater financial stability, technological innovation such as a coaches' video challenge system, and increased exposure to the division, with all 309 matches set to be broadcast exclusively on the Ligue 1+ platform.
To mark this monumental transition, the FFF has also introduced a completely new visual identity for the competition. The rebranding is centered around a modern logo that combines the rectangular shape of a football pitch with the tiered structure of a stadium grandstand. This design visually embodies the league's new official slogan, "Terrain de rencontres" (Meeting Ground), aiming to highlight the intersection of professional ambition and popular, locally rooted football.

Uniqlo J.League All-Stars 2026 Kits Released
The J.League has officially unveiled the uniforms for the
upcoming 2026 All-Star DAZN Cup, produced in a unique collaboration with
Japanese retail giant Uniqlo and exclusively designed by Francesco Risso.
The bold aesthetic of the All-Star collection is deeply rooted in heritage,
utilizing a traditional Japanese ink-marbling technique known as "suminagashi"
to create a fluid, organic pattern across the fabric. The shirts carry a deeper
meaning as a "garment of gratitude," featuring a special bow-style motif on the
back that symbolizes the strong connection tying together the league's players,
staff, and passionate supporters. To ensure all fans are represented, the
collection drops in six distinct colorways mapped to the tournament's division
brackets. The top-flight J1 teams will wear red (East) and blue (West), while
the combined J2 and J3 divisions are split into four regional subgroups: light
blue (East-A), green (East-B), yellow (West-A), and purple (West-B).
Players will also use a special custom match ball produced by Sfida,
which boasts a nostalgic design heavily inspired by the iconic football anime
Captain Tsubasa.

Francesco Risso-designed collection is your favorite? Let us know in the
