Torquay United Launch Limited Edition 'Blackout' Shirt

Continuing the club’s 120th anniversary celebrations and aptly arriving on Black Friday, Torquay United release their second special edition shirt of the season, turning out the lights on their existing 19/20 kit template for a special edition blackout anniversary shirt.

Torquay United had cause to celebrate coming into the 19/20 season, having bagged the National League South title at the end of last season, and the obvious promotion that came with it, they were also in the midst of their 120th year. As part of the celebrations, the the Gulls released a stunning special edition anniversary shirt, which combined a black base with gold detailing, the iconic coastal club stepping up its style game to unprecedented new heights. Now the club are at it again, opting to release another special edition in an equally pleasing aesthetic of black on black.

Utilising the same template as their 2019/20 shirts, the blackout shirt again includes United’s new minimalist crest, with the anniversary years appearing on either side – 1899 on the left, 2019 on the right. It sits adjacent to the legendary Nike swoosh on the right of the chest, with the club’s ‘1899’ insignia proudly taking centre-stage below them in place of a regular sponsor. It also arrives in a special presentation box – perfect for wrapping for Christmas? That's up to you.
