How much are Premier League's jerseys sponsor worth?

The new Premier League season is about to start and it's already time to analyze some numbers: waiting to calculate the amount of all the money spent on summer signings, because the transfers market is not concluded yet, the specialized website Sportingintelligence has released for the ninth year in a row the table of all sponsorships deals concerning the twenty teams of the highest British league.

It's clear that for the 2018/2019 season there will be a further increase in the total revenues affecting the sponsors, given that it has exceeded 300 million pounds overall. The two Manchester's teams are the beneficiaries of the biggest contracts, followed by Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool: United can benefit from a record-breaking agreement with Chevrolet (47 million a year), while the cousins of the City receive a little less from Etihad (45 million). An enormity if we consider the only 1,5 million perceived by two small clubs like Huddersfield and Brighton.

The English portal also underlined how, in addition to the jerseys' sponsors, we have to consider also the sleeves' ones, such as Hyundai on those of Arsenal or Angry Birds on those of Everton: in this case, we have to add another 46 million pounds. Among all sponsors, massive is the presence of foreign giants and especially Asian, nine to be exact, clearly predominantly on local companies, only three. Another aspect to consider is that of international betting companies such as Betway, Dafabet and Sport Pesa, sponsor nine teams despite the strict prohibitions linked to gambling.
