Fan-voted 25th Anniversary shirt revealed

Supporters can now register their interest in owning the exclusive Foundation of Light 25th Anniversary Shirt, following its first public unveiling at the charity's annual Fixtures Breakfast.

Chosen by supporters through a public vote earlier this year, the shirt has been created to celebrate 25 years of Foundation of Light, recognising a quarter of a century of changing lives through the power of football.

Designed by Hummel, the limited-edition shirt features a unique anniversary design and commemorative sleeve detailing, making it a special collector's item for Sunderland supporters and Foundation of Light advocates alike.

Guests attending the Fixtures Breakfast were given an exclusive first look at the shirt ahead of its official release, with pre-orders now open ahead of its September launch.

Every shirt purchased will help support Foundation of Light's work across the North East, where the charity delivers life-changing programmes focused on education, health, wellbeing, employability and sport, supporting more than 23,000 people each year.

Foundation of Light Head of Marketing & Communications, Kate Smith, said: "This shirt is a celebration of everything Foundation of Light has achieved over the last 25 years, and we're delighted that supporters have played a role in choosing the final design.

"We wanted to create something that not only marks this milestone but also gives supporters another way to show their backing for the Foundation. Every purchase helps us continue changing lives across our communities."

The Foundation would also like to thank Hummel for bringing the design to life and everyone who took part in the public vote.
