This is the first time we've changed sponsor in 20 years.

No, this sucks:

Online gaming and entertainment company, 188BET, has today announced an innovative agreement to become the first brand in modern Premier League history to concurrently sign two shirt sponsorship deals with Premier League clubs.

The in-play football betting specialist will become principal sponsor of both Bolton Wanderers FC and Wigan Athletic FC from the start of the 09/10 season, and the brand logo will appear on all adult club shirts for the next two seasons. These agreements mark 188BET’s first significant step into the English football market.

The new look kits will be unveiled by the clubs this week and will be worn for the first time in each team’s last home game of the season; on Saturday 16th May when Bolton Wanderers play Hull City and on Sunday 24th May when Wigan Athletic take on Portsmouth.

188BET will officially kick off the agreements with major initiatives to coincide with the start of the new Premier League season. With the aim of rewarding fans, 188BET will work with both clubs across a number of areas of activity including in-stadium, online and community initiatives where appropriate.
