With Remembrance Day approaching, football fans will have the unique opportunity to obtain an unrivaled fan item while showing their support for those who served our country.
As in recent years, clubs and players across the Premier League, Championship, League One, and League Two will wear a poppy on their official matchday kits for the games leading up to Remembrance weekend. What's more, the shirts will be personally signed by the player, making each one the ultimate piece of memorabilia.
With this annual event, football clubs across the country take pride in raising vital funds and awareness for the work of The Royal British Legion. The money raised helps provide essential support to members of the armed forces community who have made sacrifices, both physical and mental, while serving their country. The Legion is the country's largest Armed Forces charity, but it is entirely dependent on the generosity of the public. Its aim is to provide lifelong support for both serving and former service personnel and their families.
By winning one of these shirts, embroidered with the national symbol of remembrance and hope, not only will you receive a truly unique piece of memorabilia, you will also lend a helping hand to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. You can go to https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are to learn more about The Legion and how your contribution will make a difference.
The shirts will be put up for auction live from kickoff at www.matchwornshirt.co.uk/poppy and will be available to fans around the world. At a time when supporters cannot get close to football, this is the perfect opportunity to bring a piece of the match to them. To mitigate any potential health risk, all shirts will be professionally disinfected using UV-C light before being shipped to the winner. This will preserve 'match worn' elements like mud and grass stains, but it will eliminate traces of DNA, bacteria, and viruses.
Start bidding!
Getting involved couldn't be simpler. Just head over to www.matchwornshirt.co.uk/poppy to find the shirt of your favorite Premier League or EFL player and, once the game begins, start placing your bids. Good luck!
