Singer Ed Sheeran has collaborated with League One club Ipswich Town on the design for their new "blackout" third kit.
The kit, released on Tuesday, incorporates tonal versions of
the graphic found on the cover of Sheeran's album "Equals", which was
released last year.
"I got asked to help design the third kit for Ipswich," said Sheeran, whose world concert tour has been advertised on the club's shirt which Sheeran has sponsored since last season.
"I wanted to make something with a subtle homage to the
album but also be a cool bit of clothing people around the world would want to
wear. I love it."
Sheeran, 31, grew up in Suffolk and is a long-time supporter
of Ipswich.
Ipswich fans were quick to give their seal of approval to
the new shirt, with the club's online store witnessing heavy traffic and long
waits to place an order.
