Leicester City unveil new home shirt for 2022-23 season

Leicester City have unveiled their home shirt for the upcoming season.

Usually worn on the final day of the previous season, supply chain issues mean City have only just been able to share the new design with supporters ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. It is expected to go on sale some time in July.

The new home kit, the fifth to be made by Adidas, features a gold club badge and a white collar, which the club say is inspired by the shirts of the 1970s Jimmy Bloomfield team. It is the first City home kit to have a collar since the Champions League campaign of 2016-17, while it is the first shirt to have a white collar for more than a decade, since the Burrda effort of 2011-12.

It is the second year that online trading company FBS will be the club’s main shirt sponsor. Vietnamese beer brand BIA Saigon remains the sleeve sponsor.

Jamie Vardy, Wesley Fofana, and Harvey Barnes were the players selected to model the new kit at the King Power Stadium in the club’s promotional images, ahead of its release some time next month. It will go on sale at £63 for adults.
