Leicester Tigers are pleased to announce a new partnership with global fan-engagement and fundraising platform MatchWornShirt, to bring supporters the opportunity to get their hands on the players’ match-worn and signed shirts.
In this new partnership, shirts from pre-determined fixtures will be placed on auction at kick-off for fans to bid on. Each shirt will come equipped with the players’ signatures placed alongside all the match-worn elements of mud, grass, and everything else that makes them so unique.
Speaking about the new partnership, Leicester Tigers Chief Revenue Officer Mark Davies said: “We are delighted to welcome Match Worn Shirts to the Tigers Family. They bring a strong pedigree in this space and work with many leading clubs across the sporting landscape and we are excited about working throughout the season.
We are thrilled to give our supporters the chance to take home a piece of our incredible game, complete with stains from the hallowed Mattioli Woods Welford Road turf!”
Head of Business Development at MatchWornShirt James Flude said: “Leicester Tigers are the most successful rugby club in the English game and we have seen first-hand the domestic and global appeal that they retain. "
“Their shirts over the years have been synonymous with that success and are instantly recognisable within European rugby folklore.
“Partnering with such an iconic club at this phase of our expansion into rugby is extremely exciting for MatchWornShirt - and we can’t wait to see the partnership progress over the next 5 years.”
