Hollywood style for the beautiful game

Birmingham City Ladies football star Karen Carney has said a big thank you for the Hollywood makeover the team’s had for the launch of the new FA Women’s Super League (FAWSL).

Barques client,  signs and graphics giant Hollywood Monster, is sponsoring the Blues team’s new shirts as they embark on their first campaign in the Football Association’s eight-club elite competition.  Blues Ladies have won all three of their matches so far and are top of the table. They were due to meet second-placed Arsenal Ladies on Thursday (April28) for a top of the table clash. Blues Ladies will face top teams including Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool in the league. The aim of the league is to attract a wider audience by introducing family friendly activities including keepy-uppy competitions and music entertainment before and after matches, helping the beautiful game blossom for women.

Hollywood Monster has sponsored Birmingham City FC for 20 years and jumped at the chance to sponsor the women’s team’s shirts. Managing director Tim Andrews said: “We’ll be supporting the team every kick of the way as they take on the elite of women’s football in England. We’re proud to be associated with the ladies team and we hope that they can bring more silverware back to St Andrew’s.”
