Premier League football club Newcastle United said on Friday that StormGain, a cryptocurrency trading company, would be its sleeve sponsor for next season.
A relatively new phenomenon for British football, sleeve sponsors were given the green light in 2017 and teams have had the additional branding on their kits since then.
Apart from having its logo plastered onto the shoulders of every Newcastle player, StormGain's sponsorship of the club will mean it can provide competitions to win match tickets, hospitality services and meet and greets with players.
"We are confident that this partnership will help us to expand our brand and activity in the most effective way, using the worldwide draw of the Premier League," said StormGain CEO Alex Althausen, a former executive at retail broker Libertex.
"We share many core values with Newcastle - effort, determination and the pursuit of success - and we could not have imagined a better partner to start such an exciting venture with."
