- Ben Chilwell is delighted with the brand new 2017/18 Leicester City PUMA away kit- The new Foxes strip combines a black and gold design with cutting-edge technology- Supporters can buy the kit in the City Fanstore at King Power Stadium or online now
The Foxes got their hands on the eye-catching black and gold strip during the official players’ photoshoot at the end of last season ahead of its launch at 9:30pm on Wednesday 12 July. With a specially developed polyester material to ensure optimal comfort, the new PUMA kit is equipped with dryCELL technology, making it one of the most advanced City shirts of all time.
Leicester will debut the new strip during their pre-season campaign, which commences at the Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong this coming week, following the successful launch of the new PUMA home kit in May. Popular left-back Ben Chilwell, speaking at Belvoir Drive, was among the first to lay eyes on the Foxes away shirt - and he admitted he was delighted with the design.
“It’s a really good [kit],” said Chilwell. “It’s always exciting when you get to see the new kit because it’s something new and hopefully it’s something you’re going to look forward to playing a lot of games in. All the boys have said good things about it and we’re all looking forward to playing in it next season.
"Not just for us, but for the fans as well, because they always turn up in good crowds, wearing the kit, and it’s important for them for it to be a good kit like this.”
Produced by PUMA - one of the world’s leading sports brands in designing, developing, selling and marketing football apparel – the new kit marks a return to an all-black design. The last black kit adorned by the Foxes was during the Premier League title-winning campaign of 2016, a season which included a memorable 3-1 triumph over Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.
The Blue Army will be hoping for more enjoyable away days like that when City open the new Premier League season with a trip to face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Friday 11 August (7:45pm kick-off).
