Players wear false beards in sponsorship deal

Share/Save

Kendal Town football club have signed an unusual sponsorship deal that requires players to wear crocheted black beards with sideburns and red beanie hats in pre-match warm-ups.    Local firm Rosetta makes off-the-wall giftwear.   The beards are a big seller in the US and it is hoped that this success will be replicated in the UK.

The beards come in a variety of colours, including grey.
