Premier League x FIFA 20 Anti-Racism Kit Revealed
EA Sports has revealed that special new jerseys will be coming to FIFA 20 in conjunction with the Premier League's No Room for Racism campaign. The No Room For Racism campaign is the league's effort to bring awareness of, and help eliminate, racist abuse and other forms of discrimination in football.
"Racism is not and never will be acceptable in sport or society," Jesse Lingard, a Manchester United midfielder and FIFA 20 Ambassador, said. "Everyone has the right to feel safe and included."

The EA Sports FIFA 20 Premier League Anti-Racism kit boasts a bold and unique design in black and white. It comes with the Premier League and the EA Sports logo on the chest area. The front boasts the campaign slogan "No Room for Racism".
"It’s encouraging to see the Premier League demonstrate their ongoing commitment to tackling racism in football through their No Room For Racism campaign," Sanjay Bhandari, chair of anti-discrimination organization Kick It Out, said in a statement.
"As a passionate football fan and British Asian man myself, I’ve seen the unique reach and power that football and the Premier League has to challenge discrimination in society. Together with Kick It Out, the English Football League, The FA and the PFA, it has a vital role to play in promoting equality across the country."
Along with the jerseys, EA will also add "special FUT Kits, stadium dressing, and LED boards all carrying the No Room for Racism" message. The real-world No Room for Racism campaign will be on display at all Premier League matches from October 19-27.
There will be no cost for the "No Room for Racism" kits. Information on how they'll be obtainable will be revealed later.
