Queens Park Rangers: Canadian brand Dryworld replaces Nike as the kit supplier until 2026

The Canadian brand Dryworld has become the kit supplier of Queens Park Rangers FC (Championship) for the 2016-2026 period, the London club announced on 21/04/2016. Dryworld succeeds the Italian manufacturer Lotto (2008-2014) and the American brand Nike (2014-2016).

Dryworld, founded in 2010 in Victoria (British Columbia), mainly produces and sells sporting underwear and technical suits, outdoor sport shoes (football, American football, rugby) raincoats, as well as thermal and waterproof protection that is adapted to the shoes of other brands. The Canadian company became the kit supplier of the Brazilian clubs Atletico Mineiro, Fluminense (Serie A) and Goias (Serie B) in early 2016.

Queens Park Rangers thus become the first European football club equipped by Dryworld, who aim to partner with other British and European clubs over the next few seasons. This is an "eight-figure contract" (i.e., a minimum of £10m / €12.8m over the duration of the deal) and a "new business record" for QPR, said the London club on 21/04/2016.
