Charity Auction: Match-Worn and Issue shirts benefitting the Royal British Legion (RBL)

by Alisha Weiss

Liverpool fans will have the unique opportunity to obtain an unrivaled fan item whilst showing their support for those who served in the UK with the purchase of match-worn and spare Nike LFC jerseys from the men's and women's teams. 

As in recent years, clubs and players across the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two wore a poppy on their official match day kit in games leading up to the Remembrance weekend. What’s more, these shirts have been personally signed by a player, making it the ultimate piece of memorabilia.

With this annual event, football clubs across the country rejoice in raising vital funding 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 made a sacrifice - both physically and mentally - serving their country. The Legion is the country’s largest Armed Forces charity but is completely dependent on the generosity of the public. It is their aim to provide lifelong support for both serving and ex-serving 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 highly unique piece of memorabilia, you will also provide a helping hand to some of the most vulnerable within our society.

 

Head to https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are to find out more about The Legion and how your contribution will have an impact.

 

Shirts are available to bid at www.matchwornshirt.co.uk/poppy and can be shipped worldwide. In times where 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 will eliminate traces of DNA, bacteria and virus.

 

 

Getting involved could not be simpler. Just head over to www.matchwornshirt.co.uk/poppy to find the shirt of your favourite Premier League or EFL player and once the game begins, start placing your bids. Good luck!
