Looks Awful: Juventus Announces Zondacrypto Kit Sleeve Sponsor Deal
- Sponsorship Deal: Juventus has partnered with Zondacrypto, a Polish crypto exchange, as their sleeve sponsor for the rest of the 2023-2024 season.
- Branding: Zondacrypto's logo will appear on player jerseys and in the stadium, though the logo design has been criticized for clashing with the team's colors.
- Financial Details: The financial terms of the deal are undisclosed, but it replaces Bitget, a former sponsor with an annual value of €7 million.
Today, Italian football club Juventus announced that Zondacrypto will become the official crypto exchange and sleeve sponsor of the team for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season.

The multicolor Zondacrypto logo does not look good on the kit, clashing with the black, white, and yellow colors of the shirt.
Zondacrypto slightly adapted its wide logo for the kit, placing the icon of the branding to the top and ditching the gradient of the lettering.
The financial terms of the Juventus Zondacrypto deal are not known. Zondacrypto takes over from Bitget, whose deal had a value of €7m annually. BitGet and Juventus ended their partnership before the start of this season - Juventus played without a sleeve sponsor for six months.
Founded in Poland, Zondacrypto is a regulated cryptocurrency exchange market in Europe, with over 1.2 million active users, authorized to operate in Italy, Lithuania, Slovakia, Estonia, and Canada.
Are you lucky that the Zondacrypto logo will only feature on the sleeves for half a season? Let us know in the comments below.
