Home shirt and season ticket launch event to be held

South Shields FC is to launch its 2023-24 Umbro home shirt and give supporters the opportunity to collect their season tickets next week.

A special event is being held at 1st Cloud Arena on Monday, July 3rd between 12pm and 8pm.

The first shirt created since Umbro was announced as the club's official technical partner will be available to purchase in the marquee.

First-team players will be present, as will representatives of front-of-shirt sponsor Pulman Group and back-of-shirt sponsor Darling's Pharmacy.

The team will then wear the new home kit for the first time the following night, when they begin their pre-season programme with an away match against Newton Aycliffe.

Umbro is working in conjunction with industry leading teamwear suppliers Kitlocker.com, who are assisting in facilitating the exciting partnership.

Those who have purchased 2023-24 season tickets will also be able to collect their cards from the marquee between 12pm and 8pm on Monday, July 3rd. This is with the exception of those who have ordered Flexi tickets, who will be contacted when their tickets are ready to collect separately.

The 2023-24 South Shields FC home shirt is to be priced at £45 for adults and £38 for children, with sizes ranging from Youth Small to Adult 4XL. These are the same prices as the club's retail shirts for the 2022-23 season, with an increased range of sizes now available after supporter feedback was taken on board.

Those who have purchased a season ticket for 2023-24 are entitled to a 10% reduction on the price of merchandise in the club shop, including the new home shirts.

Other items will be on sale at the launch, including new season ticket wallets, while refreshments will also be available.

The home shirt will also be available via the club's online store, store.southshieldsfc.co.uk, from 12pm on Monday, July 3rd.
