Nothing new, for example Ronaldo wears Adidas Real Madrid kit but also gets paid millions to wear Nike boots.

i think this was part of the reason it took so long to finalise the contract? i doubt either company are overjoyed about it, but at least they will both get lots of advertisement from him

Contador wears a Giro Aeon while the rest of Saxo wear Spec Prevails.

Backham is also a good example, during his MUFC days the club kit was Umbro and then Nike but he was the poster boy for Adidas.

And David Ginola played for Newcastle, wore addidas and was sponsored by Loreal.

I thought nike bailed from cycling a while back?

I got a great windbreaker gilet for 75% off since it was nike and it was all discontinued.
