Football history chooses Macron. It cannot be said otherwise when an English football icon like Blackburn Rovers Football Club decides to wear the jerseys of the Italian company. Football heroes who will have the Macron Hero on their chest for the next 5 seasons. The Italian brand will wear, in addition to the first team, the women’s team, the youth sector and the football school.

The foundation of the club of the eponymous town in Lancashire dates back to November 5, 1875, and a month later the white and blue team played their first official match against a Church team. Along with Everton and Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers is a founding member of the Football League and the Premier League. In the trophy cabinet of victories, there are 3 titles of English Champion, 6 FA Cup, 1 English League Cup and 1 Charity Shield. For years it has been a reference team of British football and was the first high-level team to adopt one of the oldest tactical playing rules, the Cambridge pyramid, a 2-3-5 scheme that on the field appeared as a reversed pyramid whose peak was the goalkeeper and which was used for a long time until the modification of the offside rule and the simultaneous arrival of the method and the system, in the second half of the 20s.

Today, Blackburn plays in the Football League Championship, the second division of the English football league, and for over 120 years has played its home games at the historic Ewood Park.

Macron’s already strong presence in English football is further enriched by Rovers, who from the 2021-2022 season will have at their disposal match kits, technical clothing and a merchandising line characterized by the style, design, technology and quality that make the Italian company a leading brand in the teamwear sector. The agreement for technical sponsorship is followed by the design and development of the new Blackburn Rovers shirts, in which, in close collaboration between the club’s staff and Macron’s style office, the colors, symbols, history and tradition of the British club will be ‘enhanced’.
