Racing de Santander, leader of the Hypermotion League, and Argentine Racing de Avellaneda have merged their kits so that the inclusive teams of both clubs share a jersey.
“You know that one of my dreams is to twin our Real Racing Club with Racing de Avellaneda,” stressed the largest shareholder of the Cantabrian entity and president of the Foundation, the Argentine Sebastián Ceria, who this Tuesday presented this and other actions of the Foundation together with its director, César Anievas.
The t-shirt design
The shirt, designed by the Marketing Director of Racing de Santander, Pablo Norberto Ruiz, It mixes the white and light blue stripes of the Argentine club with the green and white stripes of the Cantabrian club, as well as their shields, each located on one half of the chest.
Anievas has explained that it is the first action carried out by the Racing Foundation within the collaboration agreement signed this year between both clubs. “I’m sure there will be many more to come,” he added.
Fund the Foundation
The Racing Foundation “needs money” to carry out all the planned actions, its president has acknowledged, which is why it seeks to expand its sources of income, which are currently based on training activities.
“99% of professional clubs do not approach it that way. They normally rely much more on donations from fans, subsidies, etc.,” Anievas explained.
The Foundation wants to take a step in this direction and, therefore, Anievas sees it as very important that people know that in Cantabria the first 250 euros have a 95% tax deduction. “The Treasury, of 250 euros, returns you 237.50, so the real investment is 12.5,” he pointed out.
How do you get the t-shirt?
The Foundation has enabled cards for those racing players who “not only care about the team’s classification and football, but are also committed to the social part of the club.”
There will be three levels. The first, for those who donate from 60 euros, that they will receive the ‘homegrown card’; from 150 euros, level that corresponds to ‘pioneer card’; and from 250 euros will receive the ‘legend card’.
All of them will enjoy advantages, packs, raffles and discounts. Besides, Those who donate from 150 euros will receive the t-shirt as a gift which merges that of Racing de Avellaneda and its Cantabrian counterpart.
“But the most important thing is the donation from the heart, that they really donate because they believe in the social project that we are carrying out in our social work,” they noted.
In addition, Racing de Santander will donate several of these brotherhood t-shirts to his counterpart in Mozambique, who plays in the second division of this country.
Trade support
Ceria and Anievas have also detailed that The Foundation once again launches the ‘racing zone’ project for all establishments in Cantabria that want to support Racing in their social sphere.
They are distinguished two types of donations. The 250 euro onewhich includes gifts from the Foundation, such as a scarf, a flag and the brotherhood t-shirt presented today; and the one of 500 euros, with some “a little more relevant” gifts and the option to choose between this new shirt and the official personalized and signed club shirt.
In addition, they have announced that the Racing Store will sell the Foundation’s own products. “No collaboration is too little,” added Sebastián Ceria.
