Nike will be opening a new club shop in the Sir Tom Finney Stand, next to the ticket office, on July 21. Adult replica kits will go on sale that day, with a release day for the junior kit set to be confirmed shortly.

The home kit is the traditional white shirts, navy blue shorts and white socks, with the away strip navy blue shirts with a white sash, white shorts and blue socks.

A yellow third kit will be released in due course, while the first-choice goalkeeping kit will be all green and the keeper’s change kit all black.
