Sunderland’s 08/09 away kit is due to be launched on 8th July 2008. The official description reads like this:

“The new Umbro away kit design for the 08/09 Premier League season features a V-necked shirt with broad royal and navy blue stripes, teamed with navy blue shorts with a royal and white trim. The socks are royal and navy hoops.”

In one word - smashing.

The Sunderland home shirt for the 08/09 season went on sale last month.

They’ve done a good job with this year’s version - the black blends in nicely with the traditional red and white and gives the the shirt an imposing aura that was missing from last season’s kit.

During the 2007-08 Premiership Campaign, when Sunderland travels to other places, they will be wearing a simplistic white kit from Umbro. This is a change from the previous season that saw Sunderland in a light blue for away matches. This plain white kit has a few black and red markings on the shoulder and collar area, but really is nothing more than a plain white jersey.

I have always said that I like the simple kits, and it does not get much more simple than this one. Umbro took a classic looking kit, added the Sunderland Crest and made it timeless. Great work again by the folks at Umbro and Sunderland.

When Roy Keane brings his team to play in front of the home fans, they will be wearing the same design on their kits as previous years. The red and white vertical stripes have become a staple with Sunderland, and no need to stop something that is working so well. With Umbro on board as the kit manufacturer, the task was easy on the home kit…do the same thing as previous years. The only difference is Umbro has designed a few of the “diamonds” on the shoulders that are so conducive with the Umbro logo.

I like this kit, granted nothing has changed in a while. When a club takes their badge or crest and makes the kit resemble that, it shows pride in the team and their loyalty to the crest. Sunderland has done just that with the red and white vertical stripes. Everything looks in place and I give all the respect for it to Umbro and Sunderland. Great work.
