Vikings lift lid off new season kits

-

WIDNES Vikings launched their Oxen Sports 2020 home and away kits ahead of the next Betfred Championsh­ip season on Tuesday evening.

The uniforms were unveiled at an exclusive event for Early Bird season ticket holders.

Held in the Bridge Suite at the Halton Stadium, the launch event gave those who purchased their season ticket at the earliest opportunit­y the first chance to see the new designs.

More than 200 supporters packed out the Bridge Suite in anticipati­on of getting a first glimpse of the designs, as representa­tives from the First Team, Reserves, Academy, Scholarshi­p, Womens Team, Learning Disability SL Team and Early Bird Season Ticket holders emerged on stage to reveal the kit.

Shane Grady, Dec Baker, Dan Hill, Aidan Doolan, Scott Riley and Aimee Cleaver were joined by Joseph Barracloug­h, Matthew

McCormick-Hughes, Lexi Vowles and Leon Woods who all purchased a 2020 season ticket in the Early Bird period and were the lucky winners of a Kit Launch competitio­n.

A traditiona­l black and white hooped home kit has been partnered by a red and white away strip which pays homage to the alternativ­e colours of the club’s past.

The Vikings have entered a new partnershi­p with Oxen Sports which will see the club continue to work alongside Elite Pro Sports as official kit suppliers in 2020.

This coincided with the launch of the official 2020 Training Range on Friday afternoon, before revealing the kits that Tim Sheens’ side will be wearing next season.

The club has worked alongside Elite Pro Sports and Oxen Sports to produce products that incorporat­e the proud history and tradition of the club, while creating a range that is instantly recognisab­le as Widnes Vikings.

Supporters will be able to purchase the new 2020 home and away shirts from the Club Shop, located within Widnes Indoor Market, from 9am on Wednesday November 20, with the range also available online simultaneo­usly.

As revealed earlier, Early Bird season ticket holders can now collect their 2020 season ticket from the Club Shop, and upon collection will receive a £5 voucher to use against the purchase of the new home or away shirt.

Please note, these vouchers are valid until March 31, 2020, and only one voucher can be used per shirt purchased.
