Sunderland AFC’s new home and away kits for the 2018-19 are unveiled for the first time today.

The new home shirt sees a return to broader stripes, and features a round neck, which is favoured by players and supporters. The logo of Betdaq, the club’s new principal partner, sits prominently on the front of the shirt, along with logo of technical partner, adidas and the club crest.

The shirt is complemented by interchangeable shorts, in both red and black, giving options for when kit clashes occur. The kit also features red socks with a red and white turnover cuff.

Both the shirt and shorts feature ventilated adidas climacool® technology to keep wearers dry and cool.

The away kit is black, with a red trim on both the shirt and shorts. The Betdaq logo is also featured in red. Supporters are advised that the BETDAQ logo will not appear on junior sizes shirts.

The home kit will be on sale exclusively to 2018-19 season card holders on Friday 20 July. Season card holders will be invited to attend a special event to mark the kit launch at the Stadium of Light, further details of which will announced very shortly.

It will then go on general sale to all supporters from Saturday 21 July at all three stores - the Stadium of Light, Debenhams in Sunderland and The Galleries, Washington.

Supporters can order online at www.safcstore.com from Friday 20th July up until 11am on Sunday 22nd July for a delivery to a UK address on Monday 23rd July.

The away kit will be on sale for the start of the new season.
