Gillingham launch 2023/24 away kit - days after successfully revealing their new home shirts ahead of the League 2 season

Gillingham have gone back to their roots with the design of the club’s newly revealed away kit.

The black and white stripes are a nod the the club’s original colours when they first formed as New Brompton.

It’s not the first time the club have gone for the black and white away strip, using those colours as part of the 125th anniversary season.

Fans have again reacted well to the latest reveal, modeled by defender Max Ehmer.

Steve Knight said he loved the new design while Harry Beale said the club had “absolutely smashed both home and away kits.”

Gemma Johnson loved it too, writing on Twitter: “Absolutely brilliant! That’s a beauty!”

The launch of the away kit comes four days after the new home strip was revealed - with fans giving that one the thumbs up.

A poll on KentOnline attracted close to 1,000 votes and an overwhelming majority said they loved it.

Gillingham have new shirt sponsors after reaching a two-year agreement with Medway-based construction company Bauvill.

Flooring company PISO and GRIT Consultancy - an IT support and hosting service specialist - have also agreed deals with the club to have their names on the backs of shirts.

The club will also have a third kit this coming season which is yet to be revealed.
