New season, new kit, new look

Yesterday, we announced we had secured some new sponsorship deals. Today, we've another announcement in that after 5 years, we are retiring our current Grays match day kit and will be launching a new kit and training range very soon for 2019-2022.

This is it, no more surprises..... for now!

We did intend to launch a new kit last season to coincide with the 60th Anniversary and our return to Garstang but as you can imagine, there was A LOT of work entailed with those activities which left no time for much else.

During our summer break from league activity, Frank, Brendan and Dave have been working with several businesses to secure the sponsorship which will be reinvested in to developing the Club further. In return, we'll promote their businesses on the kit and elsewhere. Frank has also been beavering away with a new kit supplier and engaging with Committee members with requirements and feedback. We have seen the kit first hand and tried it on and taking into consideration, looks, quality and cost, we feel we've struck a good balance. This is why we encourage members to attend AGMs and join the Committee at some point in their time with us, so you get to find out about exciting things like this and have the opportunity to contribute to decisions ;-)

There'll be 'bundles' available (playing kit and training wear) and with a contribution from the sponsorship, at prices we think will appeal. The range will also be available to our younger members who have been enquiring about a training range in their sizes for some time. We'll be arranging some 'try on' sessions and the intention is that our new look will launch in time to start the new season. Our team photos and off the field attire on match days always look much smarter when everyone is in the same kit.

Want to know what it will look like? We'll reveal it soon so keep your eyes peeled. Would be great to launch it with players from across the club wearing it. Men, women, juniors.... interested? Then get in touch with SJ or leave a comment below..... sooner rather than later :-)
