Bristol City issue statement on shirt sponsor for remainder of the season

Bristol City have said that their shirts will remain unchanged, despite their principal partner stepping down.

Earlier this week, it was announced that MansionBet would stand down as the clubs primary sponsor.

Mansion Bet announced that their betting brand will cease trading as of March 31st 2022, with a focus now on their casino brands.

Despite ceasing trading, there will be no alterations to the kit of City’s men’s team  with the first-team players continuing to wear it for the remainder of the campaign with 10 games left of the Championship season.

A statement from the club read: “The club will continue to wear MansionBet on the front of its first team shirts until the end of the current campaign and thanks MansionBet for its support over the last two seasons.”

Christian Block, CEO of Mansion Group, said: “After careful deliberation, we have decided to cease trading our MansionBet brand. The commercial decision was a difficult one, but it does provide an opportunity to focus on our casino brands, where we have a long history of excelling.

“To minimise impact on consumers, we have ensured our customers’ future winnings continue to get paid out, and stakes will be returned regardless of outcome.

“Finally, I would like to thank all our colleagues and partners for building the sportsbook brand, and our loyal customers for their support throughout.”

The men’s team of City are the only side that wear Mansion Bet on their kit with the Women’s team’s main sponsor being Somerset-based Yeo Valley, which is on the front of their home, away and goalkeeper shirts.

City have already agreed a new sponsor for next season, with eCommerce fulfilment company Huboo taking their place on the men and women’s shirts.

Huboo will also appear on the team kits of BBL Championship side Bristol Flyers, as well as the men and women’s teams of English Premiership outfit Bristol Bears.

It is a sponsor that has local links to the area with a head office in the central part of Bristol.
