The jersey is produced by Football Shirt Collective and kit manufacturers INARIA, and features 84 rhombi on the front and the number 84 on the back to represent the 84 men who take their life each week in the United Kingdom (stats correct as of 2018).
The CALM logo can also be seen as a patch on the sleeve.
The shirt was originally launched in 2018 and sold out in one day. The re-released jersey will be ready to ship from June and costs £49.99.

“Once again we’re delighted to have teamed up with The Football Shirt collective,” said CALM CEO Simon Gunning. “In these unprecedented, uncertain times, CALM’s life-saving services are needed more than ever, it’s therefore vital that we continue to connect with each other through our shared love of football and support the CALM helpline services which have seen a 37 per cent increase in demand in the past couple of weeks.”
There are fears the lockdown guidelines introduced due to coronavirus will lead to an increase in deaths due to depression and suicide as isolation wreaks havoc on the public’s mental health.
Mike Maxwell, founder of Football Shirt Collective, added: “At times like this when everyone is stuck at home and people are more isolated than normal, charities like CALM need our support more than ever.
