Bid on Poppy shirts to support the Royal British Legion
By Jill Dando News
This October, Bristol City are proud to once again join football clubs across the country in supporting the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
Shirts worn during last weekend’s match against Leeds United including the iconic poppy emblem in their design, are available to fans now via MatchWornShirt.
All proceeds raised by these exclusive match worn, signed shirts will be donated to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
MatchWornShirt’s 2022 Poppy Appeal campaign was a spectacular success, raising more than £900,000 for the Royal British Legion.
The Royal British Legion
Every year the Royal British Legion leads the nation in Remembrance across the UK to honour the contribution of our Armed Forces community, past and present.
Since it was first worn as an act of Remembrance just over 100 years ago, the red poppy has become an enduring symbol of support for our Armed Forces. Remembrance unites people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds.
Last year, the iconic poppy has been given a make-over and is now completely plastic-free and easily recycled.
The new poppy, which has been revamped for the first time in 28 years, is made entirely from paper, no longer has a single-use plastic stem or centre and can be recycled through ordinary household recycling collections.
Every donation to the RBL’s Poppy Appeal raises vital funds to support the Armed Forces community all year round and ensures their unique contribution is never forgotten.
To help the Royal British Legion continue its vital work, head to MatchWornShirt’s website and get involved in one of the many auctions for this year’s Poppy Appeal.
