📸 Austrian club unveil kit featuring double-digit sponsors
After featuring 19 brands last year across the shirt body, sleeves, and shorts, according to the portal Sports Business, the club has remained faithful to its marketing strategy.
Some people counted 20 brands featured this season on TSV Hartberg's 'cycling outfit,' after the kit went viral once again on social media!
I'm not sure about the new TSV Hartberg kit. Looks a bit too sparse to me.
The famous kit presentation from @adidasfootball for @tsv_hartberg. The only team on the planet that envies @LigaBBVAMX shirts for having so few sponsors.
Oh, these crazy shirts 😭 This is the work of TSV Hartberg, an Austrian club, which has just unveiled its new 'kits' for the upcoming season. FC Chambly can really take a seat.
Jokes on social media aside, this strategy makes a lot of (financial) sense for the club, located in the small town of Hartberg, with 6,700 inhabitants, in southwestern Austria, about an hour from Graz, the city where Arnold Schwarzenegger began his bodybuilding career – yes, there's your random knowledge pill.
Despite the criticism about the look, the club sees the kits as a sustainable solution to make itself economically viable.
In an interview with the Austrian portal Mein Bezirk last season, the club's official spokesperson, Roland Puchas, explained, 'We are very happy to have them [the sponsors]; without them, this [the Austrian Bundesliga] would not be financially possible.'
The strategy aims to avoid exclusive dependence on a single major sponsor, according to Puchas. 'We don't want to become dependent on one sponsor like other clubs,' he added.
Among the many logos on the kit, PROfertil's stands out!
It's a supplement to treat male infertility that, in addition to featuring on the kit, also gives its name to the stadium.
The club's president, Brigitte Annerl, founded Lenus Pharma, the owner of the supplement, which, of course, explains the strong ties with the sponsor.
Is this allowed, Arnaldo?
The Austrian Bundesliga does not impose restrictions on the number of sponsors on kits.
The only regulations concern the position and size of the competition logo on the right chest, as well as the size and position of the player's number and name.
There are, however, legal restrictions on advertising products such as tobacco – which is not the case for Hartberg!

Borussia Mönchengladbach sign Shuto Machino
Borussia Mönchengladbach have officially confirmed the capture of Japanese striker Shuto Machino. The 25-year-old moves to the Niederrheiner from relegated Bundesliga outfit Holstein Kiel. Kicker reports that the transfer fee is a little less than initially reported, with Gladbach shelling out between €6m and €8m for the eight-times-capped Samurai international. Machino serves as the second striker Gladbach have signed in the last eight days. Hoffenheim forward Haris Tabakovic was recently procured on loan. Machino, who can fill other roles besides that of a center-forward in attack, is designed to help the foals cope with the long term absence of German striker Tim Kleindienst. In signing Machino, Gladbach have acquired a player possessing a positional skill set more akin to the departed Alassane Plea. The signing also likely puts to rest (albeit very loose) rumors linking Bayern Munich attacker Paul Wanner with a move to the foals. Bayern are known to wish to retain Wanner anyway. 'Shuto is a versatile striker who can play in various positions,' BMG sporting director Roland Virkus noted in a club statement. 'He proved last season that he can rack up double-digit goalscoring numbers in the Bundesliga. We are therefore delighted that he has chosen Borussia.' 'I really wanted to join Borussia, so I'm delighted that the transfer has gone through,' Machino himself added. 'Now I want to do everything I can to help the team as quickly as possible.' GGFN |

Michigan Discussing Kicking Off 2026 Football Season in Germany
Michigan is having discussions about kicking off the 2026 football season against Western Michigan in Germany. The school announced Friday on social media that it is seeking to play at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Aug. 29, 2026. It would be the first game the Wolverines would play outside of North America. Athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement this would be a "first-of-its-kind opportunity" for the Wolverines and their fans. "The University of Michigan is one of the few worldwide brands in college athletics and the interest in playing an international game would be unique," Manuel said. "This would be a great opportunity to teach 'Go Blue' to a new group of fans in Germany." Home to Eintracht Frankfurt of Bundesliga, the stadium features a retractable roof with a capacity of 55,000. Deutsche Bank Park has hosted five NFL games, including two regular-season games in 2023. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said they're always looking for unique opportunities for their players, noting the program has been to Italy, France and South Africa over the past decade. The game would require a rescheduling of Michigan's home opener that's currently set for Sept. 5. "This game would provide another chance to grow our international fanbase," Moore said. American football isn't new to traveling overseas and this isn't the first time the college game has made its way overseas. There have been bowl games and annual Classics played overseas since 1976. Grambling State beat Morgan State, 42-16, in the Mirage Bowl in Tokyo, Japan. Grambling would return to Tokyo, defeating Temple in 1977, 35-32. The Mirage Bowl was an annual bowl game in Japan until 1993, featuring powerhouse programs like Notre Dame, Miami, Nebraska, USC, Oregon and Clemson. The Mirage Bowl was replaced by the Coca-Cola Bowl the following year and was shortly discontinued after two years. Japan wasn't the only place the NCAA traveled to promote the game. Dublin, Ireland has hosted collegiate games, most recently last season when Georgia Tech upset, at the time, No. 10 Florida State in Week 0. The first game to be played in Ireland was in 1988 between Boston College and Army. Boston College won 38-24. The collegiate game has traveled as far as Australia, when Colorado State took on Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1987. BYU won 30-26. The Sydney College Football Cup returned in 2016 and 2017; California trounced Hawai'i, 51-21, in 2016. In 2017, Stanford routed Rice, 62-7. The NFL has also made the move to spread the game overseas, in its "International Series", playing regular-season games in Europe, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil. The first game was in 2007 between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins. The NFL played five games in their "International Series" last season, spanning from Brazil to London to Germany.
