May 18 – Blackburn Rovers have a new kit supplier after agreeing a five-year deal with Italian sportswear provider Macron. The Italian sportswear brand will replace Umbro from the start of the 2021/22 season.
“We are delighted to formally announce our new Official Technical Kit Sponsor and Supplier,” said Rovers CEO Steve Waggott.
“Macron have a fantastic reputation for the design and quality of their kits and we are really excited about our new range for the 2021-22 season and beyond. We are thrilled to be part of the Macron family. They have an impressive portfolio of clubs, not least some big competitors of ours in the Championship. Being an Italian brand means design is central to their proposition, but also commercially, this is an excellent deal for the club.”
Marcon has partnerships across Europe, including with Lazio, Sporting Lisbon, Nice and Real Sociedad. The sportswear brand also enjoys a strong portfolio in rugby, providing kits for the Scottish, Welsh and Italian international rugby sides.
Macron CEO Gianluca Pavanello added: “The agreement with Blackburn Rovers is hugely important to Macron.I am personally so proud of the partnership with this prestigious and historic club that I followed with passion back in the 1994-95 season when, against all odds, they won the Premier League under the guidance of Kenny Dalglish. The Macron Hero is our logo that represents dogged fighting spirit, that passion and determination to reach a goal, as well as the exuberance of winning a challenge.”
