We are delighted to announce that we have agreed a three-year deal with Lewes FC to supply them with Nike match, training and replica kit, starting this season.
As part of the deal, we’ll be operating the club’s online store, which will provide their supporters with replica kit and merchandise throughout the course of the multi-year partnership.
It’s a real privilege to be working with a club that holds such a strong ethos. Their commitment to promoting participation, inclusion and equality mirrors our own values.
Back in 2017, Lewes FC became the first professional or semi-professional club to pledge equal pay for both their men’s and women’s teams. This saw them become trailblazers for equality in football, earning the nickname “Equality FC”.
We recently headed down to the south coast to film their Nike kit launch.
Commercial Manager for Lewes FC, Stef McLoughlin: “Nike is a bold, brave brand, and we are a bold, brave club. In the conversations leading up to this partnership, it was clear that we aligned on our vision for a partnership that was more than just a kit.
“It was about purpose, ambition and democratising football for all. We’re delighted to be taking this step forward with such great partners by our side”.
New Business Development Manager for Kitlocker.com: Ben Dixon: “Kitlocker.com are very excited to be working with Lewes FC and Nike. The club is very progressive and there’s a lot of synergy between all involved parties.
“We’re looking forward to applying the best practices that have seen us become service and apparel leaders across sport in the UK over the last 10 years. As well as unveiling match kits we’re sure fans will love.”
The men’s team will be competing in the Isthmian League Premier Division this season, while the women’s side play in the Women’s Championship.
We look forward to following their progress and getting behind the club, both on and off the pitch.
