Burnley to Get New Main Sponsor Instead of Classic Football Shirts for Premier League?
May 5, 2023, by Chris
Around one month ago, on 7 April 2023, Burnley secured promotion to the Premier League. Now, with the regular season coming to an end, and the club preparing for the Premier League return, we got us asking - will we see Burnley's main sponsor Classic Football Shirts also in the Premier League?
Classic Football Shirts Unlikely to Be Burnley's Main Sponsor in Premier League
For the 2022-2023 season, Greater Manchester-based company, Classic Football Shirts, became the club's major sponsor. There was no specific announcement regarding the exact figures at that time, but it was a one-year agreement as the press release read.
Classic Football Shirts had a turnover of almost 4 million GBP in 2021
Classic Football Shirts are a popular company that specializes in retro football shirts. The company's turnover has risen significantly in the past years. In the last year of which data is available (2021), the turnover has gone from £11.9 million to £18.2 million, while its pre-tax profits have increased from £1.3 million to £3.8 million.
Indeed, Classic Football Shirts' profit for 2021 would allow them to even nail a Premier League main shirt sponsor deal, which costs at least 4 million / GBP for the smallest teams.
However, we can't imagine currently that Classic Football Shirts will invest as much in a shirt sponsor deal, but with the company's recent rise, and seems not out of nowhere.
The cheapest EPL main sponsor deal costs around 4 million GBP, but we can't imagine Classic Football Shirts paying that much
In addition to Classic Football Shirts, Burnley had EMA Equity Partners as the club's away shirt sponsor in the 22-23 season. This certainly reduced the amount Classic Football Shirts had to invest in the 22-23 Championship season.
Do you think Classic Football Shirts will continue as Burnley's main shirt sponsor (or at least as their sleeve sponsor)? Comment below.
Buriram United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Thai powerhouse Buriram United have officially unveiled their in-house 26-27 third kit. Produced under the club's own label as is tradition for domestic competitions, the shirt utilizes a very dark navy base covered with subtle geometric cross motifs, complemented by light pink accents across the buttoned collar, monochrome crest, and sponsor graphics. The release has sparked debate among supporters and collectors, as Buriram's 26-27 home kit also relies on a dark navy template, differing primarily by pairing it with coral detailing rather than pink.
Clermont Foot 63 26-27 Third Kit Released
French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 and Italian brand Kappa have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Deeply rooted in regional pride, the new strip draws inspiration from the distinctive dark Volvic volcanic stone (pierre de Volvic) that defines much of Clermont-Ferrand's historic architecture.
The Kappa Clermont Foot 63 26-27 third jersey features a charcoal base covered in an elaborate line-art illustration across the front. The design incorporates several key regional landmarks and cultural symbols, including the Puy de Dôme volcano, the iconic twin spires of Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, a football marked with the department number 63, and the traditional Auvergnat gonfanon. Off-white trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs complements the monochrome cream club crest, Kappa Omini emblems, and CA Centre France chest sponsorship.

Cittadella 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian side AS Cittadella and technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Conceived by Erreà Creative Lab, the strip draws its inspiration directly from the iconic medieval defensive walls that surround the historic city.
The Erreà AS Cittadella 26-27 third shirt combines a predominantly black base with an irregular, lived-in texture that mimics the surface of ancient stone. A striking mix of purple, aqua green, and granata accents enlivens the textured graphic across the front, back, and sleeves. The club's crest is rendered in vibrant aqua green embroidery on the chest, complemented by matching Erreà branding and sponsor detailing, while the club's founding year, 1973, is stitched onto the upper back.
Completing the outfield range alongside the previously launched home and away jerseys, the new third kit is now available through the club's and Erreà's official channels.
Isco Makes Champions League History With Fifth Different Spanish Club
Real Betis captain Isco made European history during his side's return to the UEFA Champions League, inspiring Los Verdiblancos to an exciting 3-2 away victory against Lille. By taking the pitch in Betis' opening fixture, the veteran playmaker became the first footballer in history to appear in the Champions League with five different Spanish clubs, having previously featured in the competition for Valencia, Málaga, Real Madrid, and Sevilla.
Beyond his unique journey across Spanish football, Isco enters the 26-27 campaign holding an unmatched distinction: no active player in this season's competition has won more Champions League titles. The midfielder lifted Europe's most coveted trophy five times during his spell with Real Madrid, triumphing in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Betis qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years, and their talisman marked the milestone occasion in style by registering an assist in France to cement his enduring European pedigree.
