Blackburn Rovers sued by kit supplier
Macron are taking them to the High Court
Blackburn Rovers are being sued by sports kit manufacturer Macron at the High Court, records show.
Court filings show Macron Sportswear UK Limited filed a claim against the Championship club on Wednesday over an alleged "breach of contract".
No other details of the claim are currently available.
Blackburn, who are third from bottom in the Championship ahead of their game against Hull on Saturday, announced it had signed a five-year deal with Macron in May 2021.
The deal, which saw Macron become the club's "official technical kit sponsor and supplier", will expire at the end of this season.
Responding to the legal claim, a spokesperson for the club said: "We confirm that the club has been served with court papers by its technical kit supplier, Macron S.p.A., in relation to a contractual dispute.
"The claim is being handled by the club with the support of its legal team, and it would be inappropriate to comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing."
A spokesperson for Macron said the company was unable to comment.
