The Bristol Premier Combination and the Bristol and District League committee are proud to announce a three-year partnership with sportswear brand uhlsport, along with local retailer equipment suppliers Harris Sports and Doug Hillard Sports. This landmark collaboration is set to enhance all associated football clubs across each league by offering improved access to high-quality kits, training gear, and essential equipment. As part of the agreement and as of the new 2025/26 season, both leagues will be rebranded the uhlsport Bristol Premier Combination and the uhlsport Bristol & District Football League, respectively—signifying a fresh chapter and a shared vision to elevate the profile and professionalism of local football. Established in 1957, the Bristol Premier Combination plays a key role in the football pyramid, feeding into the Marcliff Gloucestershire County League and welcoming teams from the Bristol and District League.

This partnership will benefit all teams associated with both leagues by streamlining access to top-tier resources and ongoing support, enabling clubs at every level to grow both on and off the pitch. Beyond equipment provision, the deal reflects a significant investment in the long-term growth and sustainability of grassroots football, aiming to raise standards, strengthen community bonds, and ensure that players, coaches, and clubs are well-equipped for success now and into the future.
