English Premier League top-tier football club Crystal Palace has agreed a deal with Italian sportswear company Macron.
Under the four-year deal, from 2014-15 to 2017-18, Macron will provide the team’s playing kit.
“We tested the playing, training kit and leisure wear on players and fans against a range of competitors and Macron was easily the most popular,” Palace chairman Steve Parish said. “I would like to put on record our thanks to JSPL who have run our merchandise department for the last few years but I felt we needed to be masters of our own destiny and to that end we have taken on Mike Pink from Wembley Stadium to run our merchandising and retail operation from next season.”
