Sligo unveiled their new 2016 jersey and kit during a special launch event at AbbVie's Manorhamilton Road facility in Sligo today.
The County Board recently advised club delegates at the Annual County Convention that the local biopharmaceutical company would be their main sponsor for the next three years.
The new sponsorship deal will see the AbbVie logo appear on all Senior, U-21 and Junior Football team jerseys from the start of the Allianz National Football League season. The new jersey will make its first competitive appearance in Miltown Malbay when Sligo begin their Division 3 campaign against Clare on January 31st next at 2pm in Hennessey Park.
Members of the Sligo senior squad, including Mark Breheny, Neil Ewing and Niall Murphy, attended the launch event sporting the distinctive black and white strip, which features the AbbVie logo on the front with associated sponsor branding from IT Sligo on the back.
AbbVie and Sligo IT work together across a number of engineering and science-based educational projects so the presence of the two logos on the Sligo team jerseys reflects close ties between both entities.
