The new Shrewsbury Town Football club strip worn by Emma Small and Rachel Ferguson, with player Tom Bradshaw
A classic design has been unveiled for this season’s new Shrewsbury Town kit to mark the 125th anniversary of the club.
Home and away kits for the 2010/11 season were modelled by players at a fashion show at the club’s Greenhous Meadow stadium last night.
Tom Bradshaw, Chris Bright, Jon Taylor, Danny Taylor, Harry Hooman and Jake Robinson modelled the kits along with three members of staff.
Training gear created by kit makers Joma was also unveiled during the show in the Sovereign Suite at the ground.
Shrewsbury-based indie covers band Hello Cleveland also donned the kit and came out to perform a set which included its version of Catch Us If you Can, the song played near the start of Town matches
Ian Bebbington, commercial and operations manager, said the event was attended by about 150 people. He added: “It was a mixture of old and young people which was an excellent turnout. It was a huge success.
“You are always a little bit nervous because we’re not fashion show people, we run a football club but you get through it and the players put on a really good show.
“They were very professional in their attitude. We did a couple of rehearsals and then they were straight into it.”
He said he was delighted with the new kit, which is embossed with the club logo on the back and includes the numbers one two and five near the shoulders to mark the 125th anniversary.

would be better if we could see the shirt front and the back…

Don’t ever recall us playing in that colour blue before and its still got the clip art logo in it.
On a more concerning note the club was formed in 1886 so why are we celebrating the 125th anniversary this season? The club celebrated its 100th anniversary in the 1986/87 season.

What’s with the return to blue and white. Fans have endlessly voted in favour of blue and amber when given the opportunity.
Countless other clubs play in blue and white, but not many (if any) in blue and amber (not gold or yellow)
If we are concerned about club identity, surely there is nothing more identifiable than a unique colour scheme for the team kit.

i understand the club proposes charging £125 for this piece of kit, are they doing hp terms as i normally do not pay more than £5 for a t shirt.
i notice the club are persevering with their grotesque clip art badge. one would have thought that celebrating 124 or 125 years of stfc, we could have reverted to the towns original badge of 3 loggerheads and a floreat salopia.
so come on uncle roland please bring our old badge back for the 2011/2012 season, as the present 125 shirt is a disgrace to joma, greenhous, the club and our plucky bunch of players who have the misfortune to wear it.
if readers have gained the impression this 125 monstrosity has found no favour with me, they would be right.
come on roland you can do better next time surely.
floreat salopia, atcham jack, devon.

the three loggerheads and floreat salopia have been our ancint borough’s motto since medieval times. if it is still good enough for our ancient borough, then i ask why the football club cannot re adopt it. anyway who was the cretin who altered the badge a couple of years ago.
come on roland can we have our 3 loggerheads and a floreat salopia back for 2010/2011 season, who knows i might splash out and buy a shirt, many people i know will not buy club merchandise until it is changed. so roland will you be told, change that ruddy badge. aj

as shrews colours are blue and amber, whose idea was it to celebrate 125 years with this anaemic excuse for blue. who on earth is going to buy this rubbish at £125, absolute nonsense, time to change the shirt and while you are at it change that ruddy badge. bring back the 3 loggerheads and a floreat salopia.
remember town will not win promotion with that lenny the lion badge. anybody for a lion bar.

As this is the 125th anniversary of the club, they want to have a kit that likens back to be very first recorded Town kits that were worn….which were a simple Blue shirt, white shorts and blue socks.
I know the Blue and Amber is more popular, I prefer it for one, but I can see why the club wants to do this.
Rummor has it though that the 2011/2012 kit will be a fan vote, so thats the time we make them give us the Amber back.
Oh and give us the proper badge back!
