City Announce JJB As New Sponsors

Last updated : 02 March 2005 By Mark Maher

City will be the first club to don a JJB logo on their shirts, with the deal commencing at the end of May.

City will retain the Alliance and Leicester sponsorship on their shirts as the deal has a further two years to run. However, JJB are technical sponsors, and they will effectively replace Le Coq Sportiff.

Paul Mace said…

"This is a quantum leap forward for the football club both in terms of the size of our agreement and the retail expertise which JJB Sports are able to offer us.

"It is a unique partnership from which both parties will derive substantial benefits and we look forward to jointly developing a significantly enhanced range of retail products for the benefit of our supporters.

"Using JJB's expertise, we will be able to offer a higher quality, more technologically advanced range of retail merchandise at extremely competitive prices."
