BK8 Sports Shirt Sponsorship

On 7 June 2021 Norwich City F.C. announced that they had terminated the shirt sponsorship with existing sponsor Dafabet and signed a new club record deal with betting firm BK8 Sports.[3] Within hours of the announcement pressure from fans forced BK8 Sports to remove adult content from their social media accounts.[4] Continued pressure from fans and fans groups led to the club and the betting firm cancelling the deal by mutual consent on 10 June.[5][6] On 25 June the club announced Lotus Cars as their front of shirt sponsor for the 2021/22 Premier League season.[7] JD Sports followed as shirt sleeve sponsor on 9 July.[8]
