Hex deal cancelled

BARNSLEY FC are looking for a new shirt sponsor after terminating their week-long agreement with HEX.

The Reds had the cryptocurrency’s logo on their shirts for two matches last week before cancelling the agreement after homophobic tweets emerged allegedly made by people associated with HEX.

The deal ended last Friday then there was no sponsor on the kit at Derby County on Saturday or the home game with Bristol Rovers on Tuesday. A Reds statement read: “Barnsley Football Club value our fans and our core beliefs above everything else.

“Following recent events and a subsequent investigation, the club has assessed its relationship with its front of shirt sponsor and has taken steps to end that relationship with immediate effect.

“The Hex.com logo will not appear on the team’s kits going forward.”
