All Premier League clubs, as well as referees, will wear a patch on their right shirt sleeves with the slogan "No Room For Racism" for all matches during the 2020-21 season of the English championship, announced the English League on 12/09/2020.

"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 (Professional Game Match Officials Board) to eradicate racism," said the English League.

"This initiative will build on the momentum created last season when, in consultation with the players, 'Black Lives Matter' appeared on kits for all the games following the restart. The League will also continue to support players who 'take a knee' (to protest police brutality) at matches," added the Premier League.
