COLCHESTER United have revealed their new home kit – with a special nod to their 75th anniversary season.

The blue and white kit includes a special patch on the lower part of the front of the shirt and also a gold panel on the shoulder to ensure it has a ‘unique identity’ for the landmark season.

It also, as previously promised, does not include a sponsor with the club undertaking a special project to make the shirt sponsorship available game-by-game to local businesses.

The decision was taken as the club wanted to reflect on the early days of the club’s history without a shirt sponsor.

The shirt is available to buy on July 15 at the club’s annual open day or by pre-ordering via www.cufcretail.com from midday tomorrow.
