Hackett London to dress Chelsea

Menswear brand Hackett London has signed up as an official supplier of English Premier League football club Chelsea.

The deal will run for three years, from 2013-14 to 2015-16.

Under the agreement, Hackett London will dress the first-team squad, management and coaching staff.

“I have lived and worked in Chelsea and our flagship store is located in Chelsea, so when I was approached to dress the Chelsea team in formal kit it seemed the perfect opportunity to support the local team,” Hackett London chairman and co-founder Jeremy Hackett said.

“Football has moved on tremendously in the last decade and Chelsea is now not only a first-class football team but also globally popular in markets where we too are growing our brand. The fact that Chelsea plays in the Hackett colours is an added bonus.”
