Cobblers announce new kit partner for 2020/21 campaign

Cobblers will have a new look when the 2020/21 campaign kicks off after announcing that hummel are to become the club's Technical Partner from the start of next season.

The Danish sportswear company already work with a number of Premier League and EFL clubs, including Everton, Middlesbrough, Charlton Athletic and Coventry City, as well as the Danish national team.

In addition to the first team kit and training wear, all of the club's academy, development centres and ladies and girls teams will also wear the same playing and training kit, although Cobblers will continue to play in the current Nike kit for the forthcoming League Two play-off games.

Chief executive James Whiting said: "We are really excited to be working with hummel and to bring a new look to both our kits and our training wear.

"Hummel are a high quality and hugely respected brand and the number of partners they have in football is growing, so we are delighted to welcome them on board.

"When released, I think the new home and away kits, both designed especially for the club, will prove very popular.

“These kits will hopefully be on sale soon, however an exact date will be decided once we get more information regarding Covid-19 and when next season will begin. We would ask supporters to watch this space as all details will be released on the club’s website.

"We have enjoyed a successful partnership with Nike and Just Sport over the last few years and we thank them for their support and now we look forward to our new partnership with hummel."

Commercial director of hummel Neil Burke added: "We are pleased to be partnering with Northampton Town Football Club.

"We are extremely proud to have been chosen as the new Technical Partner. At hummel we pride ourselves in doing things a little differently by adding that extra twist and a bit of character to all that we do. Over the next few years we will endeavour to provide players, staff and most importantly loyal fans with an exceptional range of products both on and off the field.”

The club's current online store at ntfc.clubstore.co.uk will be taken down on this evening and a new online store will be launched in early June. All orders placed up to tonight will be fulfilled as the online store sale continues.
