SOUTHEND United have announced Solopress as their new front of shirt sponsor.

The printing company, which was formed in 1999, have supported the Shrimpers in the past two seasons.

And Solopresshave now opted to step up their involvement.

Simon Cooper, Managing Director at Solopress said: “Our relationship with Southend United has been extremely positive over the past two seasons, so when the chance came to become the Platinum Partner, it was an opportunity too good to turn down.

"The new shirt designs look fantastic, and as a local business with a national reach, we are proud to have the Solopress logo on the front when the team and supporters travel the country this season in the National League.”

Rylee Doe, Commercial Executive at Southend United, added: “Companies such as Solopress are the exact embodiment of what this football club is about.

"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to the entire team at Solopress for their valued support and look forward to growing our relationship throughout the next few seasons.”

The Solopress logo will go immediately on the club’s home and away shirts, which are available to pre-order on the club's official website.

The shirts will also be available to buy this coming Friday in the Macron club shop at Roots Hall.
