English second-tier soccer club Burnley have revealed vintage soccer shirts marketplace Classic Football Shirts as their main shirt sponsor for the 2022/23 Championship season.
The partnership will see Classic Football Shirts’ logo feature on the Clarets’ men’s, women’s and academy shirts for the upcoming campaign, replacing betting brand Spreadex, which signed a multi-million pound, one-year deal covering a campaign that saw Burnley relegated from the Premier League.
“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,” said Alan Pace, chairman of Burnley football club.
“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’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, added: “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.”
