West Ham United could release new home kit within days as JD Sports sponsorship deal on the cards
West Ham United could release their new home kit for the 2023/24 campaign involving new JD Sports sponsorship within days, according to ExWHUemployee.
It is believed that Betway and Umbro will remain the club’s sponsors for the foreseeable future but according to reliable club insider Ex, the Hammers sleeve sponsorship from Scope Markets to £8bn company JD Sports is set to change for next season.
Speaking on his Patreon page [9 May], Ex revealed that the new shirts have already been shown to players and staff at West Ham United and are likely to be released very soon to the public.
He said: “As we have covered for months now Betway and Umbro will remain the main supply and sponsor but we believe the sleeve sponsorship could be changing from Scope Markets to JD Sports, the same company that sponsors Southampton’s sleeve, although this hasn’t been 100 per cent confirmed by more than one source yet!
“It is believed that the club have already introduced the kit to the players, and staff and that some former players/club associates have also been involved in the photo shoot.
“There is talk that the home shirt could be released within the next week or so as other clubs have done.”
New era
West Ham United have been trying to secure news sponsorship for months now, as the club look to transition into a new era at the London Stadium. There has also been talk about a new sponsor and naming rights for the stadium which could mean the Hammers are certified owners of the ground officially.
Much change is needed at the East Londoners, especially after their rather disappointing Premier League campaign, which has seen them largely try to pull away from the relegation places.
But that looks all but wrapped up now after their crucial 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday and it seems as if Karen Brady and the Hammers board are looking to kick things off ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
With West Ham United still fighting on the European front, set to take on AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals, there is still much to fight for in order to make this season a rousing success despite the difficult circumstances.
And the news of a new sleeve sponsor will certainly the Hammers faithful excited for the weeks and months ahead as they look to get back to within touching distance of the Premier League elite next term.
