Global superstar Ed Sheeran has been named as the new shirt sponsor for Ipswich Town Football club

The Singer, who lives in Suffolk and is a big fan of the League One side, has signed a one-year contract to sponsor the men’s and women’s first team shirts for the 2021/2022 season.

The logo will feature the title of Ed’s first three albums which are the symbol +,x and ÷ – as well as minus and equals symbols above the word tour.

“The football club is a big part of the local community and this is my way of showing support,” Sheeran told the club’s website.

“I have always enjoyed my trips to Portman Road and I’m looking forward to going back there as soon as supporters are allowed into stadiums again.”

“With the new owners from the US coming in, there are sure to be exciting times ahead for Ipswich fans including myself,” added “the Shape of you” hitmaker.

When asked what the logo means, he responded: “All will be revealed in time”
