MACRON IS THE NEW TECHNICAL PARTNER OF SOUTHEND UNITED F.C.

Macron further enriches its presence in English football, announcing a new technical partnership with Southend United, a professional association football club based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

With 115 years of football history behind, "The Shrimpers" competes today in the National League, the fifth tier of English football.

The multi-year partnership will see the Italian sportswear company manufacture Blues’ home and away shirts and training wear.

Southend’s Chief Executive Officer Tom Lawrence said: “Macron has a reputation for quality, style and reliability and we are delighted to announce them as our new technical kit partner.

“Macron is a significant player in the technical kit market and have partnerships with Clubs throughout Europe. It’s great to be joining such an impressive portfolio.

Macron’s Area Manager Andy Dyer said: “We are delighted to welcome Southend United to the increasing group of English clubs that have opted for Macron game kits.

“Sharing the history and symbols of a team with more than 100 years of history is a great source of motivation for us to produce a collection that does justice to the identity of the Club and its many fans. We can’t wait to see the players wearing The Macron Hero logo in a very important season for the Club in the quest to see The Shrimpers back to the Football League.”
