Burnley players have officially swapped tracksuits for tailoring, stepping into the 2025/26 season in sharp Batch LDN suits, and proving that football has entered its most stylish era yet.
As part of a new partnership, Batch LDN has been named the official formalwear supplier to Burnley Football Club, redefining what it means for players to make a statement before they even step onto the pitch.
From Turf Moor to Tailoring
This season, Burnley’s squad will arrive at Turf Moor dressed in Batch LDN’s modern navy herringbone suits (shop the look), a sleek silhouette paired with the brand’s crisp cotton shirts. Each jacket features subtle but meaningful details: a Visit Detroit logo stitched onto the pocket, sitting neatly beside a gold Burnley pin. It’s a nod to the club’s landmark partnership with Visit Detroit and a symbol of the shared industrious spirit that binds both regions.
The shift marks a clear departure from the traditional tracksuit arrivals fans have come to expect. Under manager Scott Parker’s direction, Burnley’s pre-match image has evolved, a reflection of unity, discipline, and the club’s confident return to the Premier League.
Parker’s influence on this sartorial upgrade can’t be understated. Known for his own polished sense of style, the Burnley manager has brought that same eye for refinement to his players. As Batch LDN co-founder Julian Osborne explains,
“It’s been a fascinating 12 months, as we’ve navigated a number of Premier League opportunities. But the partnership with Burnley excited us most. This was a big decision from Burnley and from Scott Parker. Scott doesn’t want the boys arriving in suits, he wants his team arriving in Batch.”
A Brand Built on Modern Menswear
Founded in 2022 by friends Julian Osborne and Sam Matanle, Batch LDN began as a self-funded start-up with a mission to redefine modern menswear. Just a few years later, it’s become one of the UK’s most talked-about labels, blending the structure of tailoring with the ease of contemporary design.
The brand’s rapid rise has seen it attract a roster of famous fans, including Steven Bartlett, Ant & Dec, and Leo Woodall. With a flagship store in Covent Garden and a loyal online following, Batch LDN has carved out a space for men who value both confidence and comfort, a demographic that perfectly mirrors the modern footballer.
For Burnley, the collaboration is more than just a wardrobe update; it’s a statement of intent. The new uniform represents professionalism, ambition, and a forward-thinking culture that matches the club’s trajectory both on and off the pitch.
The Intersection of Fashion and Football
Football has long been a proving ground for cultural change, and the rise of pre-match fashion moments shows how much the sport now influences men’s style. What was once a routine team arrival has become a runway moment, an opportunity to express individuality and confidence through what players wear.
Batch LDN’s partnership with Burnley cements this evolution. By dressing players in versatile, made-to-move tailoring, the brand bridges the gap between the training ground and the boardroom, a visual reflection of how today’s athletes embody more than just physical performance; they represent lifestyle, leadership, and modern masculinity.
The announcement also aligns with Keeping The Faith, the first X Originals series commissioned in the UK, which documents Burnley’s return to the Premier League. The show captures real-time moments of resilience, teamwork, and style, including the first time the squad debuted their custom Batch suits.
The moment, captured on Batch LDN’s Instagram, shows founders Julian and Sam seeing their creations worn by the players for the first time, an emotional reminder of how far the brand has come in just three short years.
A New Chapter for Both Sides
For Batch LDN, the Burnley partnership signals another step in its mission to redefine what smart-casual means in 2025. For Burnley, it’s a visual expression of growth, grit, and togetherness, showing that in modern football, confidence starts before kick-off.
From start-up beginnings to the Premier League spotlight, Batch LDN continues to prove that style and sport are no longer separate worlds. They’re part of the same story, one of precision, purpose, and personality.
And for Burnley FC, arriving in Batch isn’t just about looking good, it’s about arriving with intent.
