Barrow AFC is delighted to announce that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has been named our brand-new Front of Shirt Partner.

This recording-breaking club sponsorship will see the Newfoundland and Labrador name and brand proudly worn as the prominent front logo on both Barrow AFC’s home and away jerseys for the upcoming next two seasons. The newly designed brand features a maple leaf and the new website showcases everything that makes Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada the ideal spot to call home.

Newfoundland and Labrador is the most-east and youngest province of Canada having joined Canada on March 31, 1949.

For thousands of years, Indigenous groups have hunted, fished and settled in the province. Prior to joining Canada, the Republic of Newfoundland was a Dominion in the British Empire. The province is made up of two parts, the island of Newfoundland, and the mainland region of Labrador with a combined population of 541,391.


St. John’s is the capital and is the oldest city in North America. Newfoundland and Labrador is a young, vibrant and welcoming province with deep history and culture. It is home to the Mi’Kmaq, Innu and Inuit indigenous people; European settlers who resettled from England, Ireland and France; and more recently arrived people from more than 50 countries around the world who now call Newfoundland and Labrador home and, together, have made it statistically the happiest province in Canada.

On Saturday, June 22nd, Barrow AFC Captain Niall Canavan, Goalkeeper Paul Farman and Strength and Conditioning Coach Chance Homer will be in the St. John’s area assisting in developmental training camps with some local youth soccer organizations and the Association for New Canadians, beginning what is hoped will become a continuing sport exchange between the club and province.

The Honourable Gerry Byrne, Minister of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills, added: “This exciting new partnership between professional football club Barrow AFC and the province gives Newfoundland and Labrador the opportunity to enter into the world’s game and be showcased on a global stage.

“As Barrow AFC players wear Newfoundland and Labrador with pride on their jerseys, soon we will all be cheering along with pride of our own as the team takes the field. The truly global audience that professional English football has achieved will allow Newfoundland and Labrador to be promoted and featured to millions of viewers as a welcoming place to live, work and visit on an incredible level.”

Co-owner of Barrow AFC, Tony Shearer, added: "I was fortunate enough to visit this beautiful province recently and meet our new partners. There is a natural empathy between our two hard-working blue-collar communities who also enjoy life to the fullest.

"We felt so welcome wherever we went, everyone was so friendly and hospitable. What a great place to live.

"This partnership provides an exciting international platform for both parties, and I know we’ll enjoy working together."

A totally unexpected deal, but it will attract a lot of attention. Love the kits, especially the away one. Are Dom Telford’s tattoos part of the home kit?

[Alwaysblue]

Do we actually pay money for someone to design these kits ?

[CH BAFC]

Best kits we've had in a long time, big fan of both, sponsor really makes it pop and hopefully a great deal for our brand internationally

Home one might have been alright if it never had a submarine sticking through the sponsor. Hoping they grow on me

If correct just under £50,000 a season if thats the biggest deal in the clubs history we must have given previous shirt sponsorship deals out very cheap, hopefully shirts sales go well here and Newfoundland.
