Jersey Bulls score sportswear sponsorship deal

Sunday 24 March 2019

Jersey’s newest football team have scored a three-year sponsorship deal with sportswear brand Kappa, ahead of their entry into the English national league.

The deal came about through a referral from Guernsey FC manager Mark Le Tissier and will see the team given a £5,000 boost each season from Kappa, who have also agreed to create two strips (home and away) and two goalkeeper kits.

The home kit (pictured above) has been designed by a local company, while Kappa will take on responsibility for the away.

Jersey Bulls will be donning their new strips as they “make history” this August by becoming the first team to play in a competitive league outside the island.

Bulls’ Head of Merchandise, Sam Dustow, said the team were excited about the new kits, adding that the sportswear brand is “known for creating some very stylish, iconic strips”.

He added that the cash injection will also be a helpful leg-up for the team.

“No one is under any illusions that running a team in the English Football League while based in Jersey will be easy, but the support of companies such as Kappa, combined with the passion and enthusiasm from our players and supporters, will be of great help on this exciting adventure," he commented.

Jersey Bulls, which was the brainchild of Russell Le Feuvre, was created last year as a way of nurturing the island’s elite footballers.
