Whilst we're sorry to be ending our excellent partnership with them, we're excited about entering a new era with Mitre.

 

“Mitre is renowned for the quality of its products and their experience in the design and manufacture of sports products is second to none. They've got a great team and we are very much looking forward to working with them over the next few years. I think that Ipswich Town fans will be impressed when they see the design and quality of the products that we plan to produce with Mitre.”

 

Mitre Brand Director Gary Hibbert added: “We are delighted to be re-entering the pro kit market, and particularly with a Club of the stature and heritage of Ipswich Town. Like us they were founded more than a hundred years ago and have a history that includes an FA Cup win, a UEFA Cup victory and a top five Premiership finish as well having been the proving ground for two England managers. We couldn't ask for a better partner. We are totally committed to providing Ipswich Town and their supporters with the very best designs and the highest quality products.”
