The kit, released on Tuesday, incorporates
tonal versions of the graphic found on the cover of Sheeran's
album "Equals", which was released last year.
"I got asked to help design the third kit for Ipswich," said
Sheeran, whose world concert tour has been advertised on the
club's shirt which Sheeran has sponsored since last season.
"I wanted to make something with a subtle homage to the album
but also be a cool bit of clothing people around the world would
want to wear. I love it."
Sheeran, 31, grew up in Suffolk and is a long-time supporter of
Ipswich.
Ipswich fans were quick to give their seal of approval to the
new shirt, with the club's online store witnessing heavy traffic
and long waits to place an order.
