Rams Link Up With MatchWornShirt To Raise NSPCC Funds

Derby County have linked up with MatchWornShirt for the 2022/23 season.

The relationship with MatchWornShirt will give fans the opportunity to own the shirts of their favourite Rams players fresh from the pitch over the course of the campaign.

All shirts that are made available and sold on the platform will see the monies raised donated to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).

The club opted to gift the sponsorship opportunity to a national charity with a strong influence in the East Midlands for the season and the NSPCC logo made its debut on the Rams’ shirts in the Carabao Cup Round Three tie at Premier League side Liverpool back in early November - and Derby’s shirts from the game will be the first ones available on MatchWornShirt.

The Rams’ partnership with the NSPCC will provide the charity with the chance to raise brand awareness, not only through its presence on the players’ shirts, but also by having their logo on show on the club’s interview backdrop boards and website, LED advertising assets and matchday advertising inventory, giving it a global presence.

In addition, the move has provided the NSPCC with the opportunity to further build relationships in the local community and, together with the club, the Derbyshire Football Association and Derby County Community Trust, activate fundraising opportunities.

Head of Business Development at MatchWornShirt, James Flude, commented: “We are extremely proud of our partnerships across the EFL and know that Derby County are one of the most internationally recognised names of the 72.

“We're therefore genuinely excited to bring their shirts to our global platform - and especially proud of the fact that the monies raised will benefit the NSPCC. Charity is a huge part of what we do at MatchWornShirt and I can't think of a more worthy recipient at this time of year.”
