Premier League players will have their names replaced by 'Black Lives Matter' in the opening round of fixtures next week in recognition of the anti-racism movement sweeping the globe.
In addition, the top-flight has said it will support players who 'take a knee' in symbolic protest before or during matches.
The message will appear on the back of players' shirts in the two opening matches on Wednesday, June 17 – including Arsenal's visit to Manchester City – and the whole round of fixtures over the weekend of June 19-21.
A Black Lives Matter logo will also feature on Premier League shirts for the remainder of the season, along with a heart-shaped badge thanking the NHS for their work during the coronavirus pandemic.
Players across the top-flight are eager to recognise the anti-racism movement sparked by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed in Minneapolis last month when a white police officer knelt on his neck.
The officer has since been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
The Premier League released a statement of behalf of players from all 20 clubs, since shared across social media, which read: "We, the Players, stand together with the singular objective of eradicating racial prejudice wherever it exists, to bring about a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for All, regardless of their colour or creed.
"This symbol is a sign of unity from all Players, all Staff, all Clubs, all Match Officials and the Premier League #blacklivesmatter #playerstogether."
The top-flight added that it stood "alongside players, clubs, the FA, EFL, PFA, LMA, PGMOL and all those who oppose discrimination in any form".
Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City are among the clubs to have taken a knee during training in support of the protests, while Arsenal - who also took a knee - wore Black Lives Matter shirts before their friendly against Brentford this week.
In the Bundesliga, which resumed last month, teams and officials have taken a knee pre-match, and the chairman of anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out, Sanjay Bhandari, has urged the Premier League to follow suit.
Bhandari has also encouraged players to take a knee while celebrating goals, and the FA has vowed not to sanction players for using their platforms to protest.
Clubs are also planning to discuss paying tribute to the victims of Covid-19 with a minute's silence before kick-off, as in Germany.
