Leading roof tile manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles (RRT) will continue its sponsorship of Burton Albion Football Club as the Brewers embark on their 75th season.
Burton Albion has unveiled a new kit for the 2025/26 season that pays homage to its original 1950 strip. The design mirrors the historic colours and features the Staffordshire Knot, a symbol of regional heritage for the Burton upon Trent community. The Russell Roof Tiles logo will once again feature on the back of the shirt.
The company has supported BAFC since 2016. In addition to its shirt sponsorship, the firm also sponsors the East Stand at the Pirelli Stadium, located close to its Burton headquarters and one of its three manufacturing sites.
Andrew Hayward, managing director of Russell Roof Tiles, said: “We’re delighted to celebrate Burton Albion’s 75th anniversary and to continue our close partnership with a club that’s at the heart of our community. We’ve been proud sponsors for almost a decade, supporting not only the team but also the fantastic work of the Burton Albion Community Trust. Through both the highs and the lows, our commitment has never wavered – it’s about our love for the club and the town.
