Premier League clubs could display NHS and #BlackLivesMatter badges on their shirts for the first round of Project Restart fixtures.
Player’s names on the back of the jerseys will also be replaced by #BlackLivesMatter in a grand gesture of support for the campaign which has regained momentum in light of George Floyd’s death in May.
David Ornstein from The Athletic understands that no agreement is yet in place but the willingness is there for all of these things to happen.
This is what Ornstein tweeted on the subject on Thursday:
The Premier League’s stance on racism has rarely been firm enough, and this would be their strongest show of support yet to try to tackle this problem within the game. Although, it could be seen as virtue signalling. So many other major organisations have already put their weight behind this cause and failure to do so would bring the league unwanted scrutiny.
