7 Clubs With No Shirt Sponsor in 22-23
Shirt sponsorship has been the norm at club level since the 70s, but these seven clubs are outliers in that regard.
7 Clubs With No Shirt Sponsor
As teams try to squeeze as much advertising revenue as possible out of their kits, space on the sleeves, shoulders, and back of shirts is now increasingly occupied by companies that you've never heard of, usually with names that give no indication of what they actually do. While not all clubs have sold off these sections yet, central chest sponsors have been part and parcel of football kits for decades.
Clubs don't tend to waste time replacing a sponsor when their contracts run out, but in some cases there is a gap between the old and the new. It can be because of lofty financial demands, lengthy negotiations, some sort of scandal that leads to one party ending a deal unilaterally, a lack of potential suitors for a not-so-marketable club or simply a wait before the new deal comes into effect. Whatever the reason, it very often leads to a better-looking shirt. Take a look at these seven clubs who are currently in between chest sponsors.
Boca Juniors
The presence of the yellow band on Boca's iconic home shirt means that it will never look too plain in the absence of a sponsor. Their dramatic title win surely helped, but this one will become a classic.
Bordeaux
Likewise for Bordeaux, the chevron is an ever-present and fitting a logo around/over/under it without taking away from the overall look is not an easy task. Such a shame they've squeezed one in over the Adidas logo.
Colorado Rapids
MLS teams used to play with their name splashed across the front, so it really is odd to see a blank chest on an American club's jersey.
Granada
Granada seem to have an on-and-off relationship with chest sponsors, going without one in five of the last ten seasons. Looking at some of their previous partners, they're much better off alone.
Nottingham Forest
A case could be made here that a sponsor might actually balance out the high collar and tonal sleeve pattern of the home shirt, but it is nonetheless a nice change of pace for a Premier League team.
SPAL
Striped kits without sponsors always look great, but Macron have designed a real beauty for Spal this season. The gorgeous detailing on the front can be seen here in all it's glory, but they snuck in a small sponsor on the match kit.
Venezia
Venezia's kits have been drawing praise from all corners for the last few years, with part of the appeal being the stylised lettering on the chest. We hear a lot about the importance of "visual identity" for clubs and Venezia certainly know what they're doing in that department.
What do you think of the sponsorless look for these teams? Would any of them be improved by the addition of a logo? Comment below.
Limited to 350 Pieces: Seongnam FC 2026 Third Kit Released
Seongnam FC and kit supplier Umbro have officially launched the club's 2026 third kit. Celebrating an unbroken 11-year partnership between the K League 2 side and the British brand under the concept "11 Years Together, Built for Today", the jersey arrives as an exclusive collector's release strictly limited to 350 numbered units.
The Seongnam FC 2026 third shirt introduces a refined champagne gold and cream base paired with black accents. A classic black ringer collar and matching cuffs frame the silhouette, complemented by black side flanks. Across the body, the fabric incorporates a subtle tonal jacquard pattern formed by repeating Umbro double diamonds in vertical stripes. A prominent condensed "SEONGNAM CITY" sponsor script sits across the center, accompanied by the Umbro logo and Seongnam's iconic magpie crest with surrounding stars. Alongside the cream outfield shirt, an equally striking magenta-pink goalkeeper version in the same template was also presented.
The special 11th-anniversary shirt follows the club's 2026 home and away strips, which were released earlier this year in February.
Persita Tangerang 26-27 Third Kit Released
Indonesian club Persita Tangerang has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Made in-house, the release follows the launch of their purple home and white away kits late last month, completing the Pendekar Cisadane's look for the new Super League campaign.
The Persita Tangerang 2026-27 third jersey introduces a clean look based around a deep forest green colorway. The front of the shirt features an intricate, tonal jacquard graphic pattern woven into the fabric, accented by contrasting white piping along the raglan sleeve seams and collar edge. A central stylized monogram crest sits front and center on the chest, positioned just above the Indomilk Moya sponsor wordmark finished in a muted sage tone.
Matching dark green shorts and socks complete the full uniform. The in-house third strip is already available through the club's official retail channels.
Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.
