São Paulo will be sponsored by New Balance from 1 January 2024, leaving Adidas. Now, it could be that the club won't wear New Balance kits in the first days or even weeks of the new year. Story via Mantos do Futebol.
São Paulo Youth Team to Play With In-House Kits, as New Balance Kits Not Launched Before mid-January 2024
In early 2024, the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr (Copinha) will take place. The regional U20 tournament could see the youth team wearing in-house kits, as the New Balance São Paulo 2024 kits could not be launched before mid-January 2024.
The possible in-house São Paulo 2024 kits were previewed by Passaporte FC, the official tourism organization of São Paulo, who organized a match featuring them.
The in-house São Paulo kits feature the logo of SAO, the club's brand. The home has a modern and clean look, while the away boasts a polo collar. Both have the club's trademark designs, which are part of the club's rules. São Paulo cannot play with standard teamwear kits, therefore.

Although unconfirmed, the in-house SAO kits could serve as an interim solution until New Balance are going to launch SãoPaulo's official kits, avoiding the use of Adidas uniforms post-contract expiration in December 2023.
