Sunderland’s new change kit goes on sale on Saturday 4th September, and
the Stadium store will open its doors at 7am to give those supporters
who are eager to be the first to get their hands on the new kit the
chance to do so as early as possible.
The new Diadora change kit is white with a navy and red trim, this
replicates the style running through the entire Diadora range. The
shirt itself is made from a performance enhancing fabric and features a
new navy Napoli style neck. It also has discreet side panels which,
when shirt tugging occurs on the pitch, are designed to stretch to
highlight a blue panel and alert the referees attention. The shorts and
socks are also white with a matching navy and red trim.
The club would urge all supporters buying the new change kit to do so
from official outlets as all profits are re-cycled back into the Club
and ultimately therefore help the Club in pushing for promotion. Anyone
purchasing a shirt from official outlets will receive a £5 gift voucher
to be spent on Diadora training wear. This voucher can be redeemed in
Club stores and via mail order only.
To celebrate the launch of the new away kit and to thank fans for their
loyalty in purchasing from official Club outlets, Sunderland AFC are
holding a free prize draw where one lucky supporter will win a behind
the scenes day at the Club’s Academy of Light.
This fantastic prize will allow the lucky winner and
their guest to experience a typical day in the life of a Sunderland
player. The day will kick off with breakfast with three members of
Sunderland’s first team squad. Breakfast will be served up by the
Academy’s head chef but that is not all that’s on offer, the lucky
winner will also have the opportunity to chat with the players and may
even get some team news or tactics!
After breakfast there’s a tour of the Club’s state-of-the-art training
academy, widely recognised as one of the countries leading facilities.
The winner will be able to experience first hand just how this
magnificent facility is used on a day-to-day basis by the players.
After the tour it’s out to see Mick McCarthy put the lads through their
paces as the winner heads out to watch training. After the session is
complete, the winner will be presented with a signed away shirt before
heading back into the training ground for a spot of lunch. This truly
is a unique opportunity to see the training ground in action and to meet
Mick McCarthy and the players in their day-to-day environment.
All supporters who purchase the new away shirt between now and the end
of the first week of sales (close of business on Saturday 11th
September) will qualify to be entered into this free prize draw. Anyone
pre-ordering either online at safc.com, through mail order on 0191 551
5030 or in person at the Club’s retail outlets will automatically be
entered into the draw.
Pre-orders are being taken now so supporters are encouraged to either
call into the Club shop, log onto www.safc.com/store
and be in with a chance of winning this fabulous prize.
All pre-orders are dispatched to reach supporters on Saturday 4th
September.
