Vasco da Gama signs Diadora as new kit partner

Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A football team Vasco da Gama has agreed a kit supply deal with Italian sportswear brand Diadora.

The length of the agreement was not disclosed, but the Maquina do Esporte website said that the deal would run for three years.

Maquina do Esporte noted that the partnership marks a change in strategy for the Rio de Janeiro-based club, whose kits were previously supplied by UK sportswear brand Umbro.

The report said that Vasco would generate revenue based on the number of kits it sells. With Umbro, the club had received a guaranteed fixed amount each year.
