Big money in kit sponsorships

In the 2018/19 season, the value of the kit sponsorships of all Premier League clubs amounted to 349.1 million British Pounds. This figure represents a significant increase in the 100 million generated some nine years earlier. This astronomical rise shows the increasing commercialization of the league and how clubs are able to cash in on the global appeal of the Premier League. During the 2018/19 season, the clubs of the Premier League were projected to have generated around 2.95 billion Euros from broadcasting and a further 670 million Euros from commercial endeavors.
