08/05/2012
UK-based Chesterfield Football Club and German sportswear brand Puma have announced a new partnership that will see the two working together from June 2012. The collaboration, which will run for four years, will see Puma become the club’s official sportswear and technical kit sponsor, supplying team kit, replica kit and training wear, starting with the 2012/13 season. The news was revealed by CFC Owner Dave Allen at the Fans Forum being held at the B2net Stadium to discuss the club’s future plans.

The new 2012/13 kits, the first to be designed under the new partnership, will be revealed during the summer months and will replace the existing Respect brand. Chesterfield chief executive Chris Turner said: “It is with some pride that we have been able to announce our fantastic new partnership with Puma, whose reputation as an industry leader strengthens every item bearing their world-famous brand.

“Worn with pride by players and supporters alike, our first team kits are one of the biggest parts of our identity as a football club, so to have a renowned partner like Puma alongside us is a very exciting prospect.”

Chesterfield FC director Ashley Carson, who has negotiated the new kit deal, said: “This news will generate a lot of anticipation among our supporters.”
