Sunderland AFC has unveiled its home kit for the 2016-17 season, with the new-look strip set to go on sale next Thursday.
The shirt proudly bears the name of the club’s principal partner Dafabet, and of course features Sunderland’s classic red and white stripes.
Gold detailing throughout the branding on the kit also pays tribute to a classic club colour and marks a move back to the predominantly red base design, which remains hugely popular with fans and players alike.
As with all adidas high performance apparel, the new kit includes the latest in cutting edge Climacool material, designed to provide the players with the best in lightweight and breathable technologies.
The shorts are Sunderland’s traditional black, with gold detailing. Red socks make a return for 2016-17 and feature black and gold accents.
Modelling the new kit, striker Jermain Defoe said: “The Sunderland shirt is iconic and instantly recognisable across the world. Every player is tremendously proud to pull on the historic red and white stripes and we love this new shirt.”
