English championship football club Burnley has announced Classic Football Shirts as the team's official shirt sponsor for the 2022/23 season.

Classic Football Shirts is a Manchester-based online retailer founded by Matthew Dale and Doug Bierton, which, according to a statement, has grown to 'become a go-to destination for fans to buy rare and unique shirts from teams around the globe'.

Burnley FC’s 2022/23 home shirt is a celebration of the classic kit from the team's 1991/92 title winning season and the new agreement marks the first time in Burnley's history that the men's, women's and academy teams will share a front of shirt sponsor.

Burnley FC Chairman, Alan Pace said, “I’m thrilled to continue our successful relationship with Classic Football Shirts and welcome them as official shirt sponsor for the season. We have been working together for some time now and I’m delighted to further develop this exciting collaboration.

“We all appreciate how important kits are to fans, Classic Football Shirts epitomises this. A football kit can ignite memories and take you back to a special moment in an instant, this is why we are delighted to make a nod to our history with this year’s retro style home kit and partnering with Classic Football Shirts is the perfect fit.

“The collaboration is perfectly timed in the year that we celebrate Burnley FC’s 140th anniversary and together, we have some fantastic events and unique activations planned for the season ahead to tell the story of and celebrate our great club and the iconic kits that have been there along the way.”

Classic Football Shirts co-founder Matthew Dale said, "We are immensely proud to be partnering with Burnley FC. We’ve had a great working relationship with the club for the past eight seasons and it will no doubt be a special moment seeing the players run out for the first time with our sponsorship adorning this iconic design.”

Fellow co-founder Doug Bierton added, “We hope to make a lasting impact on the local community and football as a whole via our unique partnership as the club embarks on an exciting new chapter.”
