North West Counties Football League side Hanley Town will sport a mental health charity’s logo on its 2020/21 home kit to honour their partnership.
Men Unite – a charity that supports men suffering with mental health difficulties – announced that they and Hanley Town had agreed a long-term partnership last week.
The charity has a football team (Men Unite FC) and as part of the partnership, the Sunday league team will be able to use the club’s facilities, including the pitch at Potteries Park.
Both Hanley Town and Men Unite described the agreement as “mutually beneficial” and that both parties are looking forward to what lies ahead.
Now, Hanley has revealed that the charity’s name and logo will be printed on the front of the Staffordshire club’s home jersey for the upcoming campaign, whenever that may start.

Stoke-on-Trent-based sportswear designers Fused Sport have produced the club’s 2020/21 campaign kit and is also providing Men Unite FC’s strip.
A spokesperson for Hanley Town said: “We are proud to introduce our new home kit for the 20/21 season.
“We would like to thank Men Unite CIC for the sponsorship. Men Unite are a Stoke-on-Trent based men’s mental health charity doing magnificent work in the community to tackle the stigma.”
In response to release of the home strip, Men Unite tweeted: “What a thing of beauty. Delighted to be involved with Hanley Town and spreading the word.”
The kit will be available to purchase from July 1.
