'Sampdoria' style strip returns

24 Jul 2016 By David Watters

Whitby Town will be running out in their classic horizontal Sampdoria-style striped kit again when the new EVO-STIK Northern Premier League season kicks off.

Unveiled for the weekend, the all-blue kit for the 2016-17 EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division campaign was designed by Whitby Town chairman Graham Manser, the Sampdoria-style stripes last used 20 years ago for the 1996-97 season.

Once again manufactured by TSM of County Durham, the Seasiders strip will be adorned with the logos of two sponsors, both at home and on their travels. As well as main sponsor, The Hart Inn, the kit will also carry the logo of Dennis Hobson Promotions of Sheffield who've been instrumental in organising the club's upcoming Coastline Festival.

Supporters will have the first chance to buy the new replica shirts, pictured being modelled by manager Chris Hardy, Steven Snaith and Jamie Poole, for £35 on Tuesday night (July 26) when the Blues host Marske United at The Turnbull Ground.

Officials say stocks in the club shop are expected to be limited but pre-orders will be taken by shop manager Matty Berry who can be contacted on 07766 738410.
