If you are a Swansea City fan, last season was probably rather tough. You watched your team go from competing in the Premier League, to treading water, and finally slipping into the relegation spots. You’ll know that your rivals in Cardiff were probably cheering for your demise and it eventually came. You dropped down into English football’s second division with West Brom and Stoke City. Now fans will want to see passion and Welsh fire. They certainly don’t want 2017/18’s season to be remembered as Swansea’s swan song.
To ensure that Swansea bounce back like Newcastle, rather than linger like Ipswich Town, Graham Potter will want to see his players giving 110%. Despite that not being possible. Furthermore, Swansea City has teamed up with Joma, a kit designing company, to craft an excellent third kit.
We showed you their 2018/19 home and away kits. The home one was simple, subtle, and a fan favourite. The away jersey was bright and eye-catching. Their third kit combines these kits to create a more subdued, carefully-coloured kit that has so far proven very popular with the Welsh fanbase.
The colouring is a wine shade of claret. If that’s possible. This rich colouring stretches up to the top of the kit and is separated with a gold, thin line. The shoulders and across to the neckline is contrasted with black. This carefully considered colouring is highly eye-catching.
The neckline itself is simple. A black, semi-classic collar with a single button at the front completes the kit. Around the back of the neckline, a gold band wraps around to add further character and depth to this excellent kit.
Swansea City fans won’t want a repeat of last season. They not only want to survive in football, they also want to compete. Currently sat in 10th place, the fans will hope to see a run of positive results over the coming weeks.
