Essex Cricket is proud to celebrate the incredible response to our special collaboration with national charity Help for Heroes, delivered in partnership with our Principal Partner, Ambassador Cruise Line.
The limited-edition Help for Heroes playing shirt – created after Ambassador Cruise Line generously donated their front-of-shirt branding for two Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures – has proven hugely popular with supporters and is now sold out in most sizes.
Due to unprecedented demand, we are now taking final pre-orders for delivery in October. This will be the last chance to secure the shirt, with 50% of all proceeds going directly to Help for Heroes and their vital work supporting veterans and their families.
The shirt will also worn for Essex Women’s return to action against Hampshire Women on Thursday 04 September at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground.
Special thanks to our Official Clothing Partner, Surridge, who donated the playing shirts for the match which can be purchased via our online auction on mathcwornshirts.com. The shirts from our comprehensive victory over Gloucestershire Men on Sunday are now live with a chance to own a signed and worn Eagles shirt with all proceeds donated to Help For Heroes – visit here
