ATHLETIC have gone back to white for their new away kit ­- and blue is still the colour for the club's home matches in 2016-17.

A new kit launch took place today, with the Sondico strips for home and away matches modelled by Carl Winchester and Brian Wilson.

The home kit is blue, with a white trim. The red trim present on last season's kit has gone, with the all-red away kit replaced by an all-white version with blue trim.

Button-down collars and elasticated arms are in place for a smart look, with the kits again featuring main sponsors PFE Express Ltd.

The all-red strip of last season will be used as a third kit for next term.

The new home kit goes on sale in the Sports Direct store at the ground from Friday, July 15, with the away kit on sale as of Thursday, July 28.
