Luka Doncic Wears Real Madrid Kit, Covers Adidas Logo With Tape
As a Nike athlete, Luka Doncic has to adhere strictly to his sponsor's contractual obligations. But as a proper Madridista, he really wanted to wear the Real Madrid shirt (sponsored by Adidas), so he covered the Adidas logo with black tape.
Nike will certainly be pleased with Luka Doncic's action.
Recently, Vinicius posted a photo on Instagram of himself wearing a Puma Moroccan kit, which achieved a very high reach. However, from a sponsorship perspective, it's a departure from the norm.
