Derby County’s players will wear the club’s recently launched PUMA away kit in the pre-season friendly against Real Valladolid this weekend.
Paul Warne’s side will round off their 2024/25 pre-season games programme ahead of the upcoming Sky Bet Championship season at Pride Park Stadium against the Spanish top-flight outfit on Saturday 3rd August (3pm kick-off).
The new away kit was revealed last weekend and is now available to purchase from dcfcmegastore.com and from the DCFCMegastore at Pride Park Stadium.
The club was formed 140 years ago this year and is one of the founding members of the English Football League so, to celebrate the anniversary, the colours of the new away kit draw directly from the first-known kit of the 1884 team.
They were described in the press of the day as ‘brown on one side and green on the other, with a connecting trimming of gold’. The shirt uses Founders’ Green colour from the club’s identity palette as the base for this reinvented classic.
The kit was revealed at the end of July through specially printed ‘The Daily Ram’ newspapers located in various areas of Derby pertinent to the club’s long and proud history, including the site of the club’s first home at Derbyshire County Cricket Club, the Baseball Ground sculpture and The Old Bell, where the club was officially formed in May 1884.
