Ed Sheeran’s affinity with the town

Positivity continues for the town as @ipswichtown announce that Ed Sheeran will be their new shirt sponsor next season.

Sheeran, who lives in Suffolk and supports ITFC, has signed a one-year deal to sponsor the men’s and women’s first-team shirts in the 2021/22 season.

“The Football Club is a big part of the local community and this is my way of showing my support,” Sheeran said.

“I have always enjoyed my trips to Portman Road and I’m looking forward to going back there as soon as supporters are allowed into stadiums again.

“With the new owners from the US coming in, there are sure to be exciting times ahead for Ipswich fans, including myself.”

Asked what the logo on the front of the shirt means, he added: “All will be revealed in time.”

Ed Sheeran has a long-standing affinity with Ipswich and Suffolk in general and finished his Divide Tour with four performances in Ipswich in 2019.
