Schalke 04 Sign "MeinAuto.de" Main Shirt Sponsor Deal - Valid Until 2025, Worth 7 Million Euro
Schalke 04 negotiated a contract with the online car dealership until 2025. According to Kicker, FC Schalke 04 will receive €7 million annually from the new main sponsor.
However, both parties have early exit options: "At the same time, we made a conscious decision to build some flexibility into the contract for both partners," emphasized S04 CEO Bernd Schröder in a club statement.
Friendly sponsor - MeinAuto adapt the colors of the kit
In the process, S04 also presented what the logo of the new sponsor will look like on the home and away jerseys. As reported, the logo is emblazoned in white lettering on the jersey chest. The actual sponsor logo is purple. On the alternate jersey, in turn, the logo of "MeinAuto.de" will appear in blue - also adapted to the jersey design.
