Commercial News | Blyth Spartans become Erreà affiliated club

Blyth Spartans AFC are delighted to announce they have agreed with Erreà, in association with Elite Embroidery, to become an affiliated club on a 2-year deal starting with the 2023/24 season. Normally this is associated with professional clubs.

The agreement with the Italian Sportswear manufacturer, sees Erreà become exclusive provider of all first team playing kit as well as travel and training wear. The deal will see the provision of all first team playing and training kit, and offers the Supporters Club the opportunity to negotiate discounts on replicas and leisure wear. This is an important aspect in the current climate, meaning prices can be kept as low as possible for our supporters.

Supporter Club Spokesman Ian Hertwick said "Other manufacturers and distributors were in the running for the contract, but given that Erreà can offer a fully bespoke, sublimated shirt, along with the excellent customer service from Elite over the last 6 years, meant it was a relatively easy decision to come to." He goes on to say, "We are aware from previous comments from supporters that the kit supplier is an important factor. Erreà can give us a unique identity as no other club will have a kit like ours, it is not off the shelf and is designed by ourselves".

Elite Embroidery are a local distributor for Erreà, and were an integral part of securing the deal.

The new range of Erreà training and travel wear is available to order now from the store on match days or by visiting the clubs online store https://bsosc.myshopify.com/. The green kit will be worn by the players and the black range will be adorned by coaching and management staff.

The range is available in children's and adult sizes.

The 2023/24 playing kits will have a new twist to them. Whilst keeping with the traditional green and white stripes, the shirts will incorporate a new feature not seen on a Spartans shirt before. Information on the new kits will be released in the coming months.
