German Football Club Karlsruher SC Renews With Klaiber, Signs With Jako

Second Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC has renewed its shirt sponsorship deal with Klaiber "and signed a new kit deal with Jako," according to SOCCEREX. The weatherproof awning manufacturer's logo will continue to appear on the front of the club's matchday jerseys "for another year." Klaiber will be paying around €700,000 ($790,000), although "this could double were the club to be promoted to the top tier." Klaiber "has been a KSC sponsor" since '10. Jako, meanwhile, will replace Hummel as KSC's kit supplier from the start of the '15-16 season. Both deals "were brokered by Sportfive, KSC's marketing partner" (SOCCEREX, 5/12).
