Supplier Change: FC Famalicão is ending its partnership with Macron and will be switching to a new apparel brand.
Evidence of Change: The club's shop is having a stock-off sale on all Macron products and players are renewing contracts while wearing the clubs own clothing lines rather than the current home shirt.
Potential New Supplier: Puma is a possibility due to their recent sponsorship of the Primeira Liga and desire to increase their brand awareness in Portugal.

FC Famalicão is set to leave its current supplier, Italian manufacturer Macron, to join another brand. Footy Headlines has not been able to confirm which brand the Portuguese team is joining, but looking at the club's recent social media posts, the change is evident.

Firstly, the biggest evidence is the stock-off promotion for all Macron items in the club shop.

Está aí o verão e uma campanha que promete escaldar 🔥

Secondly, the club has been renewing several players' contracts, without the current season's home shirt, opting instead to use one of the club's own clothing lines.

Famalicão has been on a crescendo since the year they have been promoted, managing to establish themselves as a successful Primeira Liga club.

Not only that, their U-19 team managed to win the National Championship, beating the likes of Benfica, Sporting and Porto.

That coincides with the improvement in the club's training facilities, as shown below.

Given the fact that Puma is actively looking for assets in Portugal to increase its awareness in the country in line with the sponsorship of the Primeira Liga, it would not be weird to see them join Famalicão, but currently, it's no more than an educated guess.
