Macclesfield Town are to launch their new away kit at an event on Saturday 25th July at the Cheshire Building Society, Castle St, Macclesfield.

The new kit, which is manufactured by sportswear giants Adidas will get its first public airing four days earlier on the 21st July as the Silkmen take on Oldham Athletic in the first home pre-season friendly.

Supporters who want to reserve their new shirt after seeing it in action for the first time can pre-book by calling Penny on (01625) 264686 or by e-mail at PennyBaguley@mtfc.co.uk.

The kit will then go on sale the following Saturday, on the morning of the Silkmen's next pre-season match, against Tranmere Rovers.

The launch event starts at 9.30am and will give supporters the chance to meet and greet the Silkmen's players and staff who will be making appearances throughout the morning. And Roary will be on hand to hand out balloons as well as face painting for our younger supporters.

Commerical Manager Penny Baguley told us: "Once again Adidas have developed a really excellent kit for the lads to wear for the next two seasons. It is of their usual high quality and we think the fans are going to love wearing it around town."

The shirt will cost £40.00 for adults with kids sizes selling for £35.00. Meanwhile shorts will cost £16.00 (£14.00 for junior sizes) and socks are £8.00 (£6.00).

After the launch, the kit will be availalable from the club shop at the Moss Rose and online from www.silkmen-store.co.uk
