- Sponsor Background: Totally Wicked is a vaping company with headquarters near the stadium, and was the club's training shirt sponsor since 2018.

Blackburn Offer Fans to Add New Sponsor Patch Over Previous Sponsor Logo
Fans can have the Totally Wicked patch printed onto the front of their shirt free of charge from next week. We are unsure whether the players received new kits or if the player's kits were just patched with new sponsor logo.
Blackburn Rovers, who currently sit in third place in the Championship, have announced Totally Wicked as their new main sponsor.
Vaping store Totally Wicked, which were founded in Blackburn and have already been the club's training shirt sponsor since 2018, will take over for the remainder of the season.
Today's announcement comes as a reaction to performance and recovery brand Recoverite cutting short their two-year deal, which would have ended in the summer. The club and Recoverite state that the Covid pandemic has prevented them from developing "a number of the exciting and innovative product and performance plans" that they had in mind when the deal was signed in the summer of 2020.
Totally Wicked Chairman, Fraser Cropper, said: “Our headquarters are located within a short walking distance of Ewood Park and many of our team across the business, including our leadership team, are passionate supporters of our hometown club.
"With such a great start to this season, along with every other supporter, we hope that this season’s end is as memorable and successful as 1992 and 2001.”

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.

The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe.
