Kit sponsors BSR Housewares became the clubs first shirt English football sponsorship during the 1981-82 season. The clubs shirts have been sponsored for the majority of the time since then, although there was no shirt sponsor at the end of the 1993-94 season, after local solicitors Coucher & Shaw were closed down by the Law Society of England and Wales. Unusually for a Premier League club, Albion were again without a shirt sponsor for the start of the 2008-09 campaign, as negotiations with a new sponsor were still ongoing when the season began. The longest-running shirt sponsorship deal agreed by the club ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2004 with the West Bromwich Building Society. Today the clubs principal sponsor is Ideal Boilers.
