- Premier League launches 'No Room For Racism' The official Twitter handle of EA Sports FIFA on Friday unveiled the new kits on Friday with a picture that featured FIFA 20 figures of Premier League players sporting the new kit with 'No Room For Racism' written on it.
- There’s room for passion, for rivalry and for drama but there’s #NoRoomForRacism, anywhere.
The children didn’t need much encouragement to join in the Premier League Primary Stars No Room For Racism challenge as they were excited to support a cause they believe in. Children are familiar with the website and they are proud to have received Premier League Primary Stars football kit as part of our PLPS Kit & Equipment Scheme and this is further encouragement to. Through No Room For Racism, the Premier League and its clubs work with fans, the FA, EFL, PFA, Kick It Out and the police to tackle racism on and off the pitch, promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across all areas of football. Together we can all do more to make a positive impact.
Premier League clubs and match officials will wear a No Room For Racism badge on their shirts this season and continue to take a knee after captains of the 20 top flight teams agreed with league plans to continue to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement.
Senior figures from the Premier League held an online discussion with the captains on Thursday and agreed that players and match officials will wear a No Room For Racism sleeve badge on their shirts in place of Black Lives Matter badges for the 2020-21 season.

'This is the first time the badge will feature on players' and officials' kit throughout the season, and will act as a constant reminder of the commitment by the Premier League, its clubs, players and PGMOL to eradicate racism,' the league said in a statement.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: 'We, our clubs, players and match officials have a long-standing commitment to tackling discrimination.
'Players rightly have a strong voice on this matter, which we saw last season. We have continued to talk and listen to players on this issue and will support them as well as continuing to emphasise the Premier League's position against racism.
'Discrimination in any form, anywhere, is wholly unacceptable and No Room For Racism makes our zero-tolerance stance clear. We will not stand still on this important issue and we will continue to work with our clubs, players and partners to address all prejudiced behaviour.'
Back in June, footballers across Europe gave voice in the campaign to raise awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement outside of the United States, as it gained worldwide attention in the wake of the death of American citizen George Floyd in police custody in May. Captains from all 20 clubs agreed on a collective recognition of the campaign.
