Sports News] Recently, Vissel Kobe, a Japanese professional league team and the
defending champion of the J-League, released their latest home and away jerseys
for the new season on their official website. With their championship status,
the price of the jerseys has increased. However, despite the higher price, the
demand for the jerseys has exceeded the supply. The new player version of the
light plate short-sleeved jersey, which sells for up to 35,000 yen, sold out
within two hours of its release on the official online store. This indicates
the strong enthusiasm among fans to purchase the jerseys, even at a higher
price. Vissel Kobe’s rise from a regular team to becoming champions can be
attributed to the support of a consortium behind the club. After being acquired
by Japan’s Rakuten Group and receiving continuous investments over several
seasons, the team achieved satisfying results. Despite having high-earning star
players like Andres Iniesta, the club’s operations have remained healthy,
reflecting the significant investment made by the consortium.
