Nike to Supply Brighton & Hove Albion Kits from Next Season

English Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion have secured sportswear giant Nike as the club’s new kit, teamwear and technical partner from the start of the 2014/15 season. 

The club has agreed a multi-year partnership, commencing 1st June 2014, which will see Albion’s first, under-21, women’s and youth teams sporting new Nike kit when they report back for pre-season training at the club’s new training ground and academy this summer.

Chief executive Paul Barber said: “In securing a long term agreement with Nike, we are delighted to announce another record-breaking partnership for the club. Nike is the leader in football and a huge global brand, which will help lift our club’s profile as we continue to develop.

“The new deal represents a significant increase on our existing commercial arrangement, and we are looking forward to working closely with Nike to give our supporters a new kit and exciting product range.”

Marc van Pappelendam, GM/VP Nike UK & Ireland, said, “We’re looking forward to this new partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion and equipping the team with their kits for playing and training.”

Nike will produce a new Albion kit for 2014/15, which will be unveiled later this year, and a highly technical range of training and leisurewear for both Albion’s teams and the club’s fans alike.
