BORO Strike New Garmin Deal


BORO have bettered their best ever kit sponsorship deal by extending their current contract with the world's leading manufacturer of satellite navigation systems, Garmin Sat-Nav.

BORO boss Gareth Southgate, chairman Steve Gibson and Garmin officials posed for press as they announced the deal, which will see the words 'Garmin Sat-Nav' branded across the chest of the BORO players until the end of 2008-2009 season.


BORO's Chief Operating Officer, Neil Bausor spoke on the deal, "The new deal cements our relationship with Garmin and allows us an opportunity to forge a strong partnership over the next 18 months and drive both our success in football, business and community support."

The new deal allows Garmin to further raise their existing global profile and marketing Director Clive Taylor added "Garmin is very proud to associate its name with such a prestigious Premier League club, both organisations share the desire to be on the leading edge of our respective fields."

Meanwhile BORO recently launched their latest 'kit debate'. Fans were given the opportunity to vote for whether the next BORO kit should sport the famous 'white band' or whether the shirt should be all red. An overwhelming majority (80%) of fans voted for a return of the 'white-band', like that worn by BORO players throughout 888.com's sponsorship reign.

Following the success of the poll, club officials have decided, for the first time, to allow fans the opportunity to vote on next season's home shirt. Previously fans have been able to choose the away kit that BORO would wear, but now fans have been given a choice of three new designs for the 2008-2009 season home shirt.

Tuncay Sanli, David Wheater and Adam Johnson model the three new shirts below.
