With a nod to the club's mining heritage Sunderland AFC launched a new third kit which is charcoal in colour, reflecting the proud mining history of the region and the stadium site.
Fan Barry Collinson, who worked at Monkwearmouth Colliery, the former pit site where the Stadium of Light is now built, took pride of place in the kit unveiling. In a further twist of fate, Barry now works for Sunderland AFC, so his links to the former pit continue to this day.
