Arsenal and Sheffield United have released the first pictures of their new-look Premier League kits.
Aston Villa vs Sheffield United will end the UK’s 100-day break without top-flight football on Wednesday.
And Premier League stars will be wearing shirts with Black Lives Matter and NHS logos when the action resumes.
The words ‘Black Lives Matter’ will replace players’ names on the back of their shirts for the first 12 matches of the restart.
The Black Lives Matter movement has been at the forefront of news headlines since George Floyd, an African-American man, died while a police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis last month.
Premier League players revealed they would be wearing the words ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the back of their shirts last week.
A joint statement read: “We, the players, stand together with the singular objective of eradicating racial prejudice wherever it exists, to bring about a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for all, regardless of their colour or creed.
“This symbol is a sign of unity from all Players, all Staff, all Clubs, all Match Officials and the Premier League #blacklivesmatter #playerstogether.”
The Premier League also confirmed it will support players who choose to kneel, in a sign of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, before or during matches.
Meanwhile, a heart-shaped NHS sign will be displayed in the middle of each shirt to pay tribute to the healthcare system’s commendable work during the coronavirus pandemic.
NHS workers have been inundated with patients as the virus has killed over 40,000 people in the UK.
In the first twelve games of the Premier League restart, a pre-match minute’s silence will also be held for people affected by the virus.
