West Ham signs new deal with OddBalls

PremierLeague club West Ham United have announced a new licensing partnership with apparel brand OddBalls. OddBalls will work with the English football club to launch West Ham United branded underwear range for men and women. The partnership will see 10% of net sales of the West Ham United x OddBalls products donated to the DT38 charity, which was created in memory of former West Ham United player, Dylan Tombides, who passed away from testicular cancer back in 2014.

DT38 also currently serves as West Ham United’s Official Charity Partner as they work towards raising awareness about testicular cancer amongst young men. 

Tracy Tombides, Founder, DT38, commented,

“DT38 continue to recognise the strong support from West Ham United with their upcoming collaboration with OddBalls. With DT38 receiving 10% of the revenue from sales of this collaboration we are able to steadily increase our demand for resources that go hand in hand when we partner in the community to educate and raise awareness of testicular cancer. By supporting this collaboration, DT38 can continue its mission to save lives through Dylan’s story and legacy by focusing on early detection and getting that message out there that delay is deadly – get educated.”

Matt Jarvis, club ambassador, said,

“Dylan was a great footballer, teammate, but most importantly an amazing person and I think it’s brilliant to see the Club continue to honour his legacy by collaborating with OddBalls. Anything that raises awareness on testicular cancer, encourages early detection and ultimately saves lives is vitally important, it’s amazing to see a percentage of funds raised go directly to DT38 to support their life saving work.”

Matthew Gibson, Head of Partnerships & Licensing at OddBalls, added,

“Everyone at OddBalls is delighted to see the launch of official West Ham United x OddBalls underwear! Both brands share a passion for top-quality products and great causes, so it’s a perfect fit! Ten per cent of sales will go to the DT38 Foundation, one of West Ham’s principal charity partners that raises awareness of testicular cancer and its diagnosis. We’re looking forward to keeping people comfy – and checking themselves – this Christmas, and for a long time to come.”
