Inter Milan's Special 24-25 Home Kit Situation - Available With Sponsor & Without but Not at All via Nike
- Sponsor-Free Kits: Inter Milan's 2024-25 home kits were initially produced without a sponsor due to delayed sponsorship negotiations and are now being sold without the logo at independent retailers.
- Delayed Nike Sales: Nike has not yet started selling the new Inter kits directly due to the sponsorship situation, while the club does sell kits with the new sponsor and Nike does sell the socks.
- Barcelona Situation: Barcelona's 2024-25 kit has a similar situation with a delay in availability of the sponsor logo, mirroring Inter's situation and rare versions being produced.
Inter Milan's 2024-25 home kit situation is imperfect this season, showing off the complexities of football sponsorship and, especially, production deadlines.
Was this sponsor-free version intended to go on sale at independent retailers?
Inter Milan 24-25 Home Kit Situation
Sponsor-Free Kits: The 2024-25 Inter Milan home kits were initially produced without a sponsor. This situation arose because the club was still finalizing the main shirt sponsor deal when the kits were produced. Inter had to add the Betsson Sport logo afterward.
As a result, the kits available via independent retailers on Unisport and other retailers are being sold without the sponsor's logo.
Delayed Nike Sales: Despite the kits being available at the club and now also at certain independent retailers, Nike has not yet started selling the new Inter kits directly on its website. This delay is attributed to the sponsorship situation. Nike apparently still needs to wait for the sponsor to be added before releasing the kits through their channels.
Oddly, Nike is selling one Nike Inter 2024-25 home kit product - the socks.
Current Availability: As of now, fans can purchase the Betsson Sport version only directly from the club and the sponsor-free version of the kit from retailers like Unisport. This unique opportunity allows fans to own a clean version of the iconic Nerazzurri stripes, free of any commercial branding.
Indeed, Nike also produced Barcelona kits without any sponsors, likely exclusive to the club. Sneaker Market RO spotted this and somehow got his hands on images of that rare version.
Club (sponsor) vs independent stores (sponsor-free)

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
