Sunderland fans may have caught their first glimpse of the 2022/2023 home kit after it was leaked on Twitter on the same day as the club announced their new shirt sponsor. The Black Cats announced their new principal partnership with ‘UK-based financial trading and sports betting firm’ Spreadex Sports on Wednesday morning.
The two parties have put pen to paper on a three-year deal which will include the gambling company's logo on home and away kits until the summer of 2025. That announcement was followed by an apparent leak of the club’s home shirt for their first season back in the Championship, complete with Spreadex Sports’ logo on the front.
The shirt, manufactured by Nike for the third season in a row, adorns the classic red and white stripes all over, with a black trim on the neckline and shirt sleeve cuff - reminiscent of the 2011/2012 shirt.
