Mar 18, 2017, by Chris
Arsenal will not have a sleeve sponsor on next season's kits, news agency Bloomberg revealed. Manchester City yesterday became the first Premier League team ever to sign a sleeve sponsorship deal.
FLy Emirates Deal Does Not Allow Arsenal to Have a Sleeve Sponsor
Arsenal's kit will feature the league patch on both sleeves next season, just as this year.
Arsenal's current deal with Fly Emirates, which was signed back in 2012 and will run until the end of the 2018-19 season, does not allow the club to have a extra sponsor on the sleeves. The Fly Emirates deal also prevents Arsenal to have a special training shirt sponsor.
In contrast to Arsenal, Chelsea could have a sleeve sponsor next season, even though it is not clear yet if the deal allows them to have one. According to people familiar with the clubs' marketing strategies, Chelsea is currently examining its contract with Yokohama Tires.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
