Southern League Central Premier outfit Hednesford Town has unveiled its new home, away and goalkeeper strips for the 2020/21 season, subject to “minor amendments.”
The home shirt pays tribute to the clubs nickname ‘The Pitmen’ depicting a miner with a pickaxe in homage to the town’s history of coal mining.
As always, the top is in white with the shorts and socks in black.
On Twitter, chairman Graham Jones, who officially acquired Hednesford Town along with co-owner Hayden Dando at the start of the month, stated: “Red changed to green on the collar to better match everything else going on and the sponsor colours.
“(The) Pitman (was) added as a celebration of who we are.”
Next year’s edition will brand the logo of design consultants RACE – the company owned by Mr Jones.
The sleeve of the shirts will feature the logo of Lionheart Security, which is owned by Mr Dando.
The jerseys are also set to display ‘HTFC 1880’ as a tribute to the club’s 140th anniversary year.
Next campaign’s away strip will be entirely lime-green-coloured with a touch of grey on the shoulders.
Finally, the goalkeepers kit will consist of an all-blue outfit with Marcon being the club’s kit supplier for another season.
Mr Jones told Sport in Staffs that all the kits are “subject to minor amendments prior to official release” but that “we don’t expect too many changes, however.”
The announcement has received lots of positive feedback from fans.
One supporter commented: “Yes loving the green… Cannock chase etc, always wanted green in our kits.
“Liking the sleeve sponsor. Liking the new shirt sponsor. Liking the pitman/miner. But me personally would of liked are traditional colours for the season and a historical badge/crest that’s all.”
Another said: “Love the goalkeeper one” with a fellow fan agreeing, stating: “Nice – love the blue one.”
One club follower added: “Unsure on the green trim on home kit, think red would have been better. Like the inclusion of the ‘pit man’ though showing the heritage of the area and the club.
“Just looking forward to my 24th year of watching now to be honest! New era! Can’t wait!”
Another club follower said: “(the) home kit is one of the best I’ve seen from any club.”
