First-team kit release

Hinckley AFC are delighted to reveal our first-team playing kit for the new 2024/25 season created in partnership with Fused Sport.

As previously announced in April, Fused Sport have become our kit supplier for the new season and their fresh new design will certainly announce our arrival at step five!

The high quality shirts are fully sublimated this year with an embroidered club badge, meaning our players will look the part heading into the competitive season.

The bespoke design sees more blue return to the red home shirt, something we were keen to achieve and which received good feedback from fans in the draft stage. The violet away shirt features a pattern across the front and back, as well as our red and blue club colours on the trim of the neck and sleeves.

We also have two options for the goalkeeper’s kit, one grey and one orange. Both feature the same pattern as the away kit on the shirts.

Unfortunately, however, the new playing kit will not be with us in time for the start of the league season this weekend. We are hopeful that the kit will arrive in the first full week of August.

Director Ron Ashby said: “The delivery date for the new kit has slipped beyond Saturday 27th July and our opening game away at Eynesbury Rovers. While this is undoubtedly disappointing, we’re sure that it will be a case of ‘good things coming to those who wait’, but we do extend our sincere apologies.”

Replica shirts available now!

We are also pleased to announce that these replica shirts are available for order by fans now costing just £32 for adult sizes and £27 for juniors. Gold, silver and bronze members can also enjoy a discount on these, with discounted rates in the club shop forming one of the many benefits of becoming a member.

Merchandise Director, Mark Langley, said: “We know many supporters will be keen to get their shirts to show their support for the team in this season at step five. We have a size chart in the club shop and can take orders for the first batch from now until 9th September.”

To place your replica shirt order, simply head to the club shop on a home matchday or email mark@hinckleyafc.co.uk.

Kit sponsors

Sponsorship is the cornerstone of our ability to provide a competitive, supporter-owned football club for the Hinckley area, and we have five kit sponsors across the shirts and shorts who are all locally based.

Director Liam Finn has led the sponsorship approach this season and said: “To have achieved this for the first time is a great indication of what we can do as a community.

“We’ve made a great effort in recent years to achieve two objectives. Firstly to diversify the club’s sponsorship revenue to build our resilience, improving sustainability, and also to emphasise the importance of local business involvement as a key part of our identity as a community club.

“Alongside your go-to aggregate supplier and plant hire Golden Site Solutions, who are our new Primary Sponsor, we have Sumac Grill, a fantastic Turkish restaurant in town returning as our back of shirt sponsor, as well as the sleeve sponsors for this season: long-standing sponsor Steve Hardy Energy Assessor, who has offered invaluable commercial advice over recent seasons, and UK Oak Doors, a fantastic new sponsor and door specialist.

“Completing the line-up is another new sponsor Burbage Custom Windows, your first stop for custom window solutions, who have won the shorts sponsorship in this season’s sponsorship raffle.

“We truly appreciate the support shown by these sponsors as we begin our next chapter, alongside all our other sponsors who have joined or returned to provide critically important support. All of these can be found on our Partners page and we encourage our supporters to support our local businesses in turn, as they support us!”
