This is one of the most important commercial partnerships in the history of the Club and we are looking forward to working closely with the totesport team in delivering this fantastic partnership opportunity."
totesport Chief Executive Trevor Beaumont said: "We're delighted to announce our sponsorship with Hull City and the fact that we're breaking new ground in becoming the first UK bookmaker with a major high street presence to have our name on the front of a Premier League shirt.
"We know the Tigers dare to dream, and this deal offers totesport a dream opportunity to link up with such a vibrant brand that not only strengthens our reputation here in the UK but globally as well.
