League Two Forest Green Rovers have signed a new kit deal starting this season following continued broken promises from their current partners Hummel.

Forest Green, the world's first United Nations carbon-neutral football club, announced a new partnership with Nottingham-based sportswear brand PlayerLayer, who share the club's eco-friendly beliefs.

The decision to change kit suppliers follows Hummel failing to deliver the promised clothing almost a month into Forest Green's second season in the Football League.

Forest Green owner Dale Vince has already demonstrated his frustration with Hummel by turning their advertising hoarding upside down.

Vince said: 'I'm genuinely excited to be working with PlayerLayer as the spirit of collaboration between us is really strong .

'Their flexibility and focus on one-off designs means we can be be super creative - not just with our first team kit but with training wear and club merchandise too.

'We have some ground-breaking ideas for next year which we'll start work on in the autumn and meanwhile we are at last confident that our kit is on its way.'

All PlayerLayer designs will include FGR's three stars - one filled in to signify the club's promotion to the Football league in 2017 - with two greyed-out to represent the chairman's ambitions to reach the championship.

It was incorrectly reported in Sportsmail's Sports Agenda column that Vince believed Hummel were prioritising their relationship with Glasgow Rangers.

Instead Vince says that Hummel are simply in disarray - incapable of keeping their promises, having let down several clubs this season including Charlton and Telford.

Vince said: 'PlayerLayer are a great British company and I've been really impressed by the work. In three days they have managed to deliver templates of our new kit for production - something Hummel did not manage in eight months.'

FGR will have all three PlayerLayer replica kits on sale for fans by mid-October. Joe Middleton, PlayerLayer CEO, said: 'We are a young company and we have an urge to build something new and do some things differently.

'We have looked at Forest Green for some time and admired their fearless approach to doing things in their own, sometimes unique way.'
