Update: It is getting serious now. There are just a few hours left until the 2020-2021 kit partnership deals of many of Europe's biggest clubs will begin - their current deals mostly expire on June 30 2020, with the new deals beginning at July 1 midnight.
Not all teams will begin their 2020-21 jersey maker deals on July 1 2020 - with the COVID-19 pandemic having caused most leagues to extend their seasons beyond June 30, we expect clubs like Everton, Fiorentina and others to start their deals later. In the case of Liverpool, that has been already announced (August 1 instead of June 1).
English Premier League giants Liverpool have won their legal battle with current kit supplier New Balance and signed a deal with the US sportswear giant Nike. Many more teams already announced kit partnerships for the 2020-21 season, and there are also some kit supplier switch leaks. We take a look at all kit maker switches of 2020.
