Agreement Reached: Manchester United and TeamViewer to End Kit Sponsor Deal
Dec 15, 2022, by Chris
TeamViewer could soon be history on the front of Manchester United's kit. Both parties have reached an agreement that allows to dissolve the main sponsorship contract.
TeamViewer, a German company for remote support systems that profited from the COVID-19 crisis, became Manchester United's main sponsor for the 2021-22 season, replacing Chevrolet. The contract negotiated at the time was for a five-year partnership and was expected to bring in 275 million Euro for Manchester United.
TeamViewer and Manchester United Rech Agreement to Dissolve Main Sponsorship Contract
After confidential talks over the past few months, both parties have reached a mutually-beneficial agreement for the end of the deal. Manchester United can buy back the rights to the main jersey sponsorship and look for a new main sponsor, TeamViewer announced late Thursday night.
TeamViewer "would exit this role as quickly as possible"
The agreement was accompanied by the expectation that the Goeppingen-based company would exit this role as quickly as possible, the MDax company said.
TeamViewer’s financial commitments to Manchester United remain unchanged whilst they remain the club’s shirt front partner, after which their financial commitments will reflect their status as a global partner.
This should reduce the cost burden from the Man United sponsorship at the specialist for remote maintenance software to a single-digit million US dollar amount and thus significantly increase profitability. Teamviewer shares rose almost 9 percent in after-hours.

Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem.

QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
