""London City Lionesses was founded to reimagine women's football -- to be bold, independent, and drive women's football forward," Kang said in a statement Wednesday. "Our partnership with Togethxr reflects that same goal and allows us to do it at pace! Seeing 'Everyone Watches Women's Sports' on our kit is a powerful statement and we look forward to starting influential conversations that progress women's sport.""
""The 'Everyone Watches Women's Sports' T-shirts were first released in 2023 and quickly gained popularity. Celebrities and athletes including actor Jason Sudeikis and Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry have worn the shirts. Togethxr announced earlier this year that merchandise featuring the slogan had generated $6 million in revenue for the media and commerce company.""
""Togethxr's agreement with the Lionesses is described as a partnership as opposed to a sponsorship, so the company is not paying to put the saying on the jerseys. Togethxr also has partnerships with the WNBA and NWSL. "We're joining forces to reaffirm that the future of women's sports is here," Morgan said in the announcement. "It's global, and it's inevitable. London City Lionesses were born to disrupt football, and Togethxr was born to disrupt sports media.""
Togethxr, founded by athletes Alex Morgan, Sue Bird, Simone Manuel and Chloe Kim, placed its slogan "Everyone Watches Women's Sports" on London City Lionesses jerseys for the English Women's Super League season. London City begin their campaign at Arsenal and are owned by Michele Kang, who bought the club in 2023; they remain the only WSL team unaffiliated with a Premier League club. The slogan T-shirts debuted in 2023, gained celebrity traction, and generated significant merchandise revenue. The arrangement with the Lionesses is a partnership rather than a paid sponsorship, and Togethxr maintains other partnerships with the WNBA and NWSL.
