Stonewall FC Release 20/21 LGBT+ Kits In Partnership With adidas

As the world strives for equality on every level, Stonewall FC take the opportunity provided by Rainbow Laces week to unveil their new club kits for the 20/21 season, created in collaboration with lead club sponsor adidas as part of the adidas football collective.

Rainbow Laces week is in full flow, and alongside the incredible activations and visible shows of support, Stonewall FC, the world's most successful LGBT+ friendly football club, have taken the opportunity to launch their three new club kits, all designed to hero LGBT+ inclusion in football. As well as their unveiling, the shirts will be worn by the club from the 12 December.

The home and away kits are in the colours of the new club crest, blue and red, with the 'Unity Team' kit built around the colours of the Trans Pride flag. The kits represent more than just a new playing strip though; the left sleeve of all shirts includes a newly stitched modern LGBT+ tag whilst the right sleeve proudly displays Kick It Out as a clear symbol of support in the fight against racism, and all forms of discrimination.

The eye-catching 'Unity Team' kit in particular looks to celebrate and demonstrate the club’s solidarity with the trans community, using big, bold colours from the trans flag in a contemporary camo style.

The launch of all three kits also see’s Stonewall FC announce their new partners, EA Sports, as the club’s official shirt sponsor, with a hint at some exciting opportunities to potentially come as a result of the two-year partnership to increase LGBT+ participation within the game.

The Stonewall FC 'Unity Team' Shirt is available for preorder now at stonewallfc.com
