Since featuring as the warm-up shirt for our men’s and women’s first teams on 30th September and 1st October, our equality shirt campaign in partnership with hummel has continued to deliver positive impact for the local community.

The shirts were worn as a commitment in partnership with our Official Kit Partner, hummel, to stand together in the push for equality within the game.

Since then, the limited-edition equality warm-up shirts have been auctioned by Saints Foundation to help fund their equality projects in the local community. So far, just over half of the shirts have been sold, already raising more than £2,500 in funding.

The only Saints equality shirts in existence are those that were in the kit room for our men’s and women’s first teams on the 30th September and 1st October. You can still get your hands on one. The next batch of equality shirts are being auctioned now via the Saints Foundation eBay store below.

We also used this campaign as an opportunity to inspire the next generation of sports leaders, by surprising seven new participants of the Premier League Changemakers programme to a football session with Women’s First Team player, Sophia Pharoah. They also received a VIP training ground tour, complete with a Q&A session with Men’s First Team players James Bree and Ryan Fraser. Watch the video below to see how they got on:

The Premier League Changemakers programme addresses inequalities by supporting young women and girls to realise their potential and inspire them towards leadership.

We strive to make football an inclusive environment for everyone, working to make the club a place where everyone can be their most authentic self. We’re committing to that aim by challenging inequalities, removing barriers to inclusion and educating those around us. Through this equality shirt campaign, in partnership with hummel, we aim to shine a spotlight on this essential value and inspire positive change in our community and beyond.
