Everton have agreed a new front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with financial services firm CMC Markets.<\/p>\n
The FTSE 250 company will replace Stake as the club\u2019s main sponsor as Premier League<\/a> clubs adhere to a voluntary ban on having gambling outlets on the front of their shirts from this season.<\/p>\n Stake were announced as having signed a deal to become the club\u2019s sleeve sponsor<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Under their deal, CMC Markets\u2019 branding will appear on the front of the men\u2019s, women\u2019s and Under-21s\u2019 kits for the coming years. The new men\u2019s home kit, the first to be released with CMC Markets on the front, will be unveiled at 9am on Thursday (July 2) morning.<\/p>\n CMC Markets will also have a presence across the club\u2019s matchday and digital channels, including at Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/a> and Goodison Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n Details of the agreement have not been made public but the combined deals with CMC Markets and Stake are understood to represent an uplift on the agreements they are replacing, a significant achievement for Everton<\/a> given the competitive battle for sponsorship that has arisen from Premier League clubs\u2019 move away from gambling companies as their front-of-shirt partners.<\/p>\n Upon the announcement of the CMC Markets deal, Andrew Middleton, Everton\u2019s president of business operations, said: \u201cWe are delighted to welcome CMC Markets as Everton\u2019s main partner \u2013 a brand that shares our ambitions, our values and our belief in what Everton is becoming.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an important agreement for the club and one that will play a key role in our continued commercial growth.
