And from a year ago: March 24, 2008
BBC Gossip "QPR are set to launch their new kit on Tuesday and club owner Flavio Briatore has lined up his supermodel friend Naomi Campbell to show it off. "
The Times - QPR becoming a club of model professionals
Queens Park Rangers’ changing face will be underlined tomorrow when Naomi Campbell is expected to parade the club’s kit for next season (Gary Jacob writes). The supermodel will unveil the largest sponsorship deal in the club’s history. Campbell is a friend of Flavio Briatore, the QPR owner.
QPR have made an agreement with Lotto Sport Italia to become kit manufacturer and Kingfisher, the beer company, to sponsor their shirts. The relationships are intertwined.
