There is another problem with the Atletico Madrid jersey

It's raining cats and dogs at Atletico Madrid, after a not-so-exciting championship that sees Simeone's team now more than a little distant from the title race led by rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid, a new problem has been added regarding the jersey and more. WhaleFin, the club's jersey sponsor, has in fact decided to discontinue its partnership with the Madrid club and will most likely disappear from the uniform due to the collapse of the cryptocurrency market. This is no small headache because the existing agreement is a very lucrative one that envisages a fee of €40 million per season. A sum that has not been fully collected by the club, which has obviously said it is ready to take legal action against the company also linked to Chelsea. A similar case has already happened a few months ago at Inter with DigiltalBits, with the meneghina team still not finding alternative solutions, playing with the same shirts as at the beginning of the season.

In short, the Atletico jersey seems to have no peace, after having disappointed with its design now there is also the sponsor issue. Because Nike, for the first time in the history of the team, have distorted the stripes of Simeone's team, as they did last year with Inter and their snakeskin pattern, applying wavy stripes inspired by the meanders of the river where the team's old stadium, the Vicente Calderón, used to be. A design ill-digested by the fans, who since the first leaks have been clamouring for it to be changed in its entirety, and sales prove it. According to reports in various newspapers, sales have fallen heavily, registering a frightening 40% drop compared to previous seasons.
