This is in line with AXA’s global tagline ‘Know You Can’ which symbolises AXA's new promise to its customers, being an encouraging partner to help them feel more confident in achieving their goals and go further.
Thomas Buberl, Chief Executive Officer of AXA, said: “We’re excited by this new important step in our partnership with Liverpool Football Club that started in 2018. Featuring the AXA logo on the Liverpool FC training kit is a great symbol of our strong ambition to strengthen the AXA brand consideration globally. By building on our similar values and vision with Liverpool FC, we will also be able to bring to life our new brand promise to our customers on self-belief with the tagline: ‘Know You Can’.”
Gordon Watson, CEO of AXA in Asia, said: “This new milestone creates further opportunities for our customers, agents and employees in Asia, as well as other members of our local communities, to interact with the Liverpool FC players, coaching and support staff via unique, money-can’t-buy experiences. With our brand on the training kit, AXA will be embedded into the fabric of Liverpool FC’s stories to build trust, credibility and recognition amongst customers to drive AXA’s growth at the local level.”
To launch the new partnership, Liverpool FC and New Balance have revealed the new collection of training apparel, which will feature AXA branding throughout the range.
Designed in grey and red pepper and just like the 2019/20 home kit, each product has been inscribed with Bob Paisley’s iconic signature on the inside, paying homage to the Reds’ most successful manager in the year in which he would have turned 100.
The Reds will begin training in the new AXA training kit this summer ahead of the 2019/20 season.
