Premier League in talks for Black Lives Matter to replace players' names on shirts


Discussions are ongoing about the proposal to show support for the movement in a meeting between all 20 Premier League clubs held on Thursday ahead of Project Restart

Premier League clubs are in talks to replace all players' names on their shirts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Top-flight sides are discussing the possibility of displaying a Black Lives Matter badge on their kit, which will be placed next to one honouring the NHS, as well as carrying the slogan across each players back.

As reported by The Athletic”s David Ornstein player names will be replaced for the first Premier League game for each club only, if the proposal gets the go ahead.

 

The Premier League are yet to confirm the decision, but the subject is believed to have been broached on Thursday as clubs unanimously approved return to play protocols and a matchday operations plan.

Protocols for the third stage of Project Restart - following socially-distanced training and full contact training - will come into play when fixtures resume again from next week.

The season is due to kick off next Wednesday, with Aston Villa hosting Sheffield United and Arsenal travelling north to take on reigning champions Manchester City.
