	tl;dr: The Premier League's ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsors takes effect in 2026-27, removing betting logos that appeared on 11 of 20 club jerseys last season. Finance (5 teams) and airlines (3 teams) now dominate, while Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea start the season without front-of-shirt sponsors. Gambling brands are pivoting to sleeve and training kit deals, which remain permitted under the rules.
	HN Discussion: ~Ban is insufficient as gambling companies will find loopholes like rebranding as news sites or moving to sleeves ↑Gambling is harmful to society and banning sponsorships is the right moral decision ~The ban is too limited in scope, ignoring pitch-side ads and international market targeting ↑Similar bans should be extended to other jurisdictions like US sports leagues •Skepticism about government commitment given political parties' own gambling ventures
