- Kit Supplier: Bolton Wanderers has agreed to a four-year deal with Macron to be their official kit supplier starting in the 2014-15 season.
- Stadium Naming Rights: The deal with Macron includes renaming Bolton's stadium to 'Macron Stadium' from July 2014.
- Previous Partnerships: Bolton had a long partnership with Reebok that ended when Adidas became their kit supplier in 2012 before switching to Macron.
Bolton Wanders today announced the agreement of a deal with Macron to become the club's official kit supplier starting in 2014-15 for at least four years. Additionally to the shirt sponsorship, the deal with Macron includes the naming rights for Bolton's stadium, currently 'Reebok Stadium'. The stadium will be renamed as 'Macron Stadium' from July 2014.
Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside said: "This is an extremely exciting and beneficial deal for our club. We will be proud to carry the Macron brand on our stadium and official merchandise for the coming seasons. We have been very impressed with their passion for football and their ideas to grow our partnership.
The deal will run for an initial four years, with the club having the option to extend thereafter.
Bolton have had a long-term partnership with Reebok, which was founded in the town. In fact the combined shirt sponsorhip (1990-2009) and kit supply (1993-2012) deals covering a total of 22 years are the longest kit partnership in English football.
When Reebok, which became a part of Adidas in 2006, stepped out of the football business, Adidas became the official Bolton Wanderes kit supplier in 2012.
Bolton Wanders 2014-15 Macron Kits
Macron will supply match kits, training and leisurewear for the club starting in the 2014-15 season. The new Bolton Wanders 2014-15 Macron kits will be unveiled later in the summer.
Macron are known for their unique and classic designs. Do you think they can match Adidas' latest Bolton effort?
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
