Strike gold with our fantastic new third kit for the 2009/10 season!

In a style echoing design elements of the new 2009/10 home kit, the kit is predominantly black with horizontal gold stripes. It comes complete with a sleek embroidered badge.

The new kit will officially go on sale in stores on Thursday 6th August but you can be one of the first to sport the new third kit by pre-ordering from Monday 13th July! Orders can be placed directly at www.afc.co.uk or through our club shops, here at Pittodrie or Bridge Street.

As with all AFC replica kits, the black and gold shirt is constructed from Nike's innovative Dri-Fit fabric, which keeps players drier, cooler and lighter by drawing sweat from the body to the fabric's surface, while the mesh back panel provides optimum ventilation rapidly moving moisture away from the body.

AFC defenders Richard Foster and Andrew Considine donned the new kit for our photoshoot and were impressed with the new offering.

Richard commented: "It's always great to be involved in the unveiling of a new strip and the third kit hasn't disappointed. All the boys in the dressing room are impressed with the stylish black and gold combination and are looking forward to trying it out during the course of the season. The material is extremely lightweight which provides great ventilation during a game...although it might be a wee bit chilly on a Tuesday night at Pittodrie! I am sure it  will be a hit with the supporters."
