The Best Prices Are Online…

Make sure you take advantage of our extra special offer. These include an extra 10% off some of our best value trophies and our online EXCLUSIVE Training Kit Deal, which is available for both Adults and Juniors.
Pendle Sportswear Tops The Polls!
Is there such a thing as bad publicity?! A Paddy Power advert prominently featuring Pendle kit became the most complained about advert last year in the UK, with 1,313 complaints in total. Watch the advert in question on our website and read the article on the BBC website. Thankfully, the complaints were not upheld & we didn’t know about the advert’s content. So, what do you think? A fair criticism or taking things too far?
Winners Wear Pendle!
Despite being runners-up many times Arbroath FC has never won a trophy since forming the club in 1878. Until now! Last season they had their first win, becoming Scottish Football Division 3 Champions and being promoted to Division 2. Is wearing Pendle a coincidence?!
League Winners Also Wear Pendle!
We are also very proud to announce that Stoke Youth FC have recently won both the Jon Russell Cup Final, along with Charter Standard Club of the Year for Somerset. When you also add to it that their league won Charter League of the Year, then that’s what we call an impressive season! Can your team do any better?
Share any stories with us by emailing them to enquiries@footballkit.co.uk and they might make the next newsletter
Recycling Carries On Going Round…
Following on from last newsletter’s recycling report, where we reported that rather than throw their old kit out with the rubbish, Brinkworth Cats recycled it on by donating it to a team in Kenya. Several of you have got in touch with us to say you do the same, including Reading Rangers JFC who have donated old kit from themselves, along with collecting other kits from teams in the league, to the charity Kit Aid. So far they have impressively sent over 150 kits all over the world.
