Umbro launch Burnley 20/21 Home Shirt

Read Time:1 Minute, 20 Second

Introducing the new Burnley Football Club 2020/21 home shirt from Umbro.

The design takes inspiration from the kit worn by one of the greatest squad of players in the club’s history; commemorating the 1920/1921 League Championship winning heroes of 100 years ago.

With a First Division title, as well as achieving an unbeaten Football League record of 30 games that would last for 80 years, the likes of manager John Haworth, the famed halfback line of George Halley, captain Tommy Boyle and Billy Watson, and top goalscorer Joe Anderson, among others listed below, became household names in their unrelenting charge towards the first of the two English championship trophies won by the club in its long and proud history as one of football’s founder members.

Developed by Umbro, the new home kit uses the classic design from 100 years ago as its influence, with the blue collar prominent in a stylised ‘cut’ neckline that adds a modern twist. The traditional blue sleeves are also a distinguished feature, as they sit lower on the arm.

The ‘Legs, Hearts, Minds’ tri-colour stripe, which has been adopted as a mantra in the Sean Dyche era, adds another modern touch to the back neckline, along with the official licensed label to the side seam.

The shirt is complemented by white shorts with claret contrast side tipping, and claret socks with blue contrast cuff and BFC wording.
