Fresh from being crowned champions in last season’s League Two, Northampton Town have unveiled their 2016/17 away kit ahead of their return to League One
Northampton Town 2016/17 Away Kit
This is the away kit Northampton Town will wear during the 2016/17 season.
The shirt is predominantly white. Nike has added the traditional maroon club colour in the form of shaped shoulder panels, leading from the white collar through to the top of the sleeves. Down the side of the body of the shirt runs a maroon stripe on either side.
Using a three-button neckline, Nike has aimed firmly at the casual market with this design. A small wing completes the stylish collar.
The Swoosh features in maroon on the right breast, opposite the elaborate club crest with the Cobblers primary shirt sponsor, the University of Northampton, featuring prominently on the chest.
On the reverse of the shirt, the only break from the plain white design comes with the logo of secondary shirt sponsor, Opus Energy, being placed across the shoulders, directly below the collar.
The shorts for the away kit will be maroon with the only trim being the club crest on the right thigh with Nike’s Swoosh opposite, on the left. Both emblems are at the bottom of each leg of the shorts.
The kit will be completed with plain white socks.
Nike and Northampton Town deserve immense credit for such a simple kit design. The temptation is to add shades and splashes but these have, for the most part, been ignored. As a result, last season’s League Two champions will be wearing a stylish kit on their travels next season.
