ITV Global are the Club's Official Licensing Partner, who license the Sunderland AFC trademarks to a variety of different companies.
These official licensees proceed to manufacture their individual products bearing the Club's trademarks ie the Club Crest, Black Cat logo etc
Once manufactured, the products are then sold nationally and internationally through various retail outlets and websites, independent of the Club. Many of these items can also be found on sale at Sunderland AFC Official Club Stores.
One of the UK's leading licensing agents, ITV Global is the consumer products division within ITV plc. They currently work with 250 licensees across 70 countries with more than 1,000 product lines across Sports, Entertainment, Children's, Comedy, Drama and Film
By licensing the Club brand to established licensees, we are able to increase our retail footprint which will help to expand the Club's appeal onto a more national and international base.
