RETAIL: New kit to be unveiled at the Community Fun Day

Fans attending the Fun Day will be greeted at the stadium entrance by the new Blues Store external wrap - designed and fitted by AST Signs - which will be unveiled ready for your arrival on the big day.

Pre-orders for all sizes and age ranges of our new home kit will be taken by the Blues Store on Sunday but, due to delivery timings, kits will NOT be available for purchase on the day.

The new kits will be available for season ticket holders, and to fans who have placed pre-orders, in the Blues Store from 10am on Thursday 21 July and will be on general sale from 10am on Friday 22 July.

Please note – the new 2016/17 training and leisure wear ranges are on sale NOW. Visit the Blues Store on Sunday to make your purchase.

Sales and Marketing Director Phil King said: “We are extremely excited about our new kits and we think they will be a hit with our supporters this season. They look fantastic with the new sponsor logos and they have a very distinctive Carlisle United look.

“They have been given the thumbs up by the players and we are looking forward to revealing them at the Community Fun Day on Sunday. Hopefully there will be a big uptake on pre-orders ahead of the arrival date later in the month.

“We will have the home kit on sale to season ticket holders and fans who placed pre-orders on Thursday 21 July, with general sale following the next day. The away and third kits will be available for general sale on Thursday 28 July.”

Speaking more about the decision to use a third kit this season, he said: “We’ve gone with it following problems with kit clashes last season. On one occasion it meant we had to turn a third kit round, using some of our training stock, at very short notice. This should mean that we will avoid that kind of situation this time round.”
