Our new away kit was launched this morning and although we will have to wait another week for its first run out at the Club World Cup, some of our Blues have already been seen wearing this London masterpiece.
There is an artistic feel to our new away kit, with the photoshoot taking place at Saatchi Gallery on the King’s Road and the colour palette inspired by a cult classic kit from days gone by.
Our manager from the early 1970s, Dave Sexton, introduced an away strip back then which was a tribute to Hungary’s famous ‘Magnificent Magyars’ team from two decades earlier and it evolved into a white shirt with a broad red and green vertical stripe.
This theme has now been reimagined and the end result is a classy shirt which will be given its first viewing at the Club World Cup against Flamengo on Friday 20 June.
Blues Kadeisha Buchanan, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke were part of the kit launch and you can see some of the photos captured below.
