Synopsis
Who wears what in the English Premier League? Which apparel brands are dominating on the Premier League pitches? Are most shirt and sleeve sponsors gambling companies?
Below we answer those questions and more by giving you an overview of the sponsors – kit, shirt and sleeve sponsors – of the 2019/2020 Premier League clubs. We also take a look at the league’s official partners and the history behind it all.
The 20 Premier League teams are sponsored by eight different clothing brands. We will see Adidas, Umbro, Nike, Puma, Erreà, New Balance, Kappa and Under Armour on the Premier League pitches this year. In 2018/2019 there were six different brands sponsoring Premier League kits, while there were eight in 2017/2018 and ten in 2016/2017.
Adidas is once again the main kit supplier with six teams. Manchester United, Watford, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers will continue wearing the German brand. Promoted side Sheffield United is added, along with new partner Arsenal who switched from Puma. Cardiff City and Fulham were both relegated while wearing Adidas last year.
About Caroline Elwood-Stokes
Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues.
“As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
