SPONSORS OF SHEFFIELD UNITED

Staff Staff

Under manager Chris Wilder, the Blades have climbed rapidly up the English footballing pyramid. In 2017, United were playing in League One, the third tier of English football. Two years later, they were leaving Premier League clubs bamboozled on the pitch with their unconventional yet efficient tactics. The club will be looking to build on their ninth-place finish from last season. We look at their sponsors for the 2020-21 season.

UNION STANDARD GROUP – Australian global multi-asset broker Union Standard Group (USG) became Sheffield United’s principal sponsor in 2019 in a three-year deal reportedly worth $4.4m per season. The deal sees USG’s logo appear on the Blades’ matchday kits.
However, the deal is currently in jeopardy as USG went into administration earlier this year amidst allegations from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) over the firm’s unconscious action towards its customers. In a worst-case scenario, United’s three-year deal with USG could be cut short with the former left to find a new sponsor.

ADIDAS – German sportswear giant signed an initial four-year deal with Sheffield United back in 2014, when the club was dwindling in the wilderness of English football’s third tier, the League One.

H. E. Barnes currently serves as the official UK mechanical and electrical partner of Sheffield United.

UTILITA – Independent energy supplier Utilita serve as United’s official energy partner since 2017.
The deal between the two has been renewed multiple times over the last three years; the last renewal made a month ago.
