Burnley Release Their 2018/19 Home Kit Featuring Record Sponsors
They have some of the most passionate fans in the world. Step into any bar in the UK and start chanting “we love you, Burnley, we do,” and it’ll soon become very obvious who the supporters are. This is because you’ll very quickly be surrounded by these kindly Northern souls. Whether it’s Adam Blacklaw or Sam Vokes they’ll be more than happy shooting the breeze about the club that they love so much. But, whatever you do, don’t get them started on Blackburn Rovers or Bolton Wanderers. Just don’t.
The might Clarets play at the hallowed ground of Turf Moor. With a capacity of just under 23,000, it’s quite a modest stadium for such a large club. Give it a couple of seasons and Burnley will surely add more seats.
The club finished their 2017/18 season in 7th place. Just nine points short of Arsenal and the top 6 teams. This is a brilliant achievement and surely all Burnley fans are thinking that a 2015 Leicester-esque situation could happen.
While most attention is on the World Cup with England playing Colombia this evening, the club have to focus on transfers and 2018/19’s season.
Burnley haven’t made too many waves in the transfer market just yet. However they have just signed a record sponsorship deal with LaBa360, an online casino and sports betting company. While the price hasn’t been released, it will likely give the club the extra funding that they need to really compete with the top six clubs.
To showcase the new sponsor in the best light, Burnley have released their latest home kit. It reflects the club’s extensive history and retains the colouring that fans have come to love over the years.
The body is claret in colouring and the sleeves are sky blue. LaBa360’s logo dominates the front of the kit and sits on top of a ‘V’ pattern. This is reminiscent of the ‘V’ kit that was worn in the 1970s. When a new kit is created, to get the fans on board instantly, kit designers like Puma opt for a classic style, one that reflects an element of the club’s past.
We at UK Soccer Shop love a classic kit.
The shorts are white with a blue strip down the side and the socks are also white in colouring.
This kit, together with the extra funding from their new sponsors could mean that Burnley compete in the top six over the next few years.
