Supporting the "Neighbourhood"
This partnership represents a natural progression for both entities, which globally represent and are widely recognized for the London district of Chelsea in both sports and fashion.
Since 2003, Chelsea FC has won 11 major trophies, including the Champions League and three Premier League titles. It is a club team whose name is known not only to football fans but to virtually everyone. Meanwhile, Hackett London opened its first store, "HACKETT," on King's Road in the Chelsea district in 1983. Today, with stores in over 50 countries, it is loved worldwide as a proud British menswear brand.
Ron Gourlay, CEO of Chelsea FC, commented, "We are delighted to partner with an international brand like Hackett. They represent the very best of British design and fashion. We look forward to a great partnership with them over the next three years."
Jeremy Hackett, founder and current chairman of Hackett London, also offered the following comment on the news:
"I have built my foundation in Chelsea. Our flagship store is also in Chelsea. For Hackett to provide official suits to Chelsea FC will be the ultimate support for our local team. Football has evolved over the past decade, and Chelsea FC is not only the best team but a global brand that has grown just like us. It's also pleasing to see Chelsea FC playing in Hackett's brand colours."
