📸 Austrian club unveil kit featuring double-digit sponsors
TSV Hartberg has officially unveiled its new kit for the 2025/26 Austrian Bundesliga season, once again revealing a model filled with 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! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Hibs new signing Raphael Sallinger's career so far
Goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger signed for Hibs on a permanent transfer from TSV Hartberg this week. The Austrian will compete with Jordan Smith for the number one spot following a strong campaign in the Austrian Bundesliga. Born in Austria's sixth-largest city, Klagenfurt, Sallinger came through the youth academies of local teams FC Kärnten and FC Welzenegg. The towering keeper's first foray into senior football came in the 2012/13 season with SC Kalsdorf in the Regionalliga Central – the third tier of the Austrian football system. Aged just 17, Sallinger moved to Germany after catching the eye of FC Kaiserslautern. Impressing as a key player at a very young age for the Red Devils' reserve club, he soon earn a move to the Austrian top-flight. The goalkeeper's Austrian Bundesliga debut would arrive in April 2017 for Wolfsberger AC versus SV Mattersburg before a move to TSV Hartberg would materialise. Sallinger fought to earn the number one spot at his new club and would go on to make 106 appearances during his time at the Profertil Arena. A standout 2024/25 campaign saw Sallinger keep 12 clean sheets across all competitions, including four crucial shut-outs across five rounds to help guide Hartberg to their first ever Austrian Cup final – which they would narrowly lose 1-0 to Wolfsberger. Sallinger has represented his country at youth level, earning his Under-20 debut in 2015 while plying his trade in Germany. Now, the goalkeeper ventures out of central Europe for the first time in his professional career and joins David Gray's side on a three-year deal. Like this: Like Related
