V is for Valiants.

Port Vale Football Club is proud to present its new home kit for the 2015/16 season.

Designed and manufactured by Italian firm Errea, the strip combines classic features with a modern twist, incorporating the ‘V’ from previous shirts worn in the early 1900s and 1980s.

Boasting a sleek style, the new kit – modeled by club captain Carl Dickinson – combines a white shirt, black shorts and hooped socks with a subtle amber trim.

The kit, which also proudly shows the logo of club sponsors GMB Union, is being worn this afternoon during the Valiants’ Sky Bet League One clash with Fleetwood Town at Vale Park.

It will go on sale from Vale’s official club shop prior to Fathers’ Day with the exact date of release still to be announced.

Chariman Norman Smurthwaite said: “I’m really pleased that we are able to reveal our new 2015/16 home kit ahead of schedule.

“I’m delighted with the negotiations I’ve had with Errea and both the quality of the kit and their support throughout the design process. It’s a retro design which I hope will remind fans of one of our most successful periods.

“I have also made the decision not to replace the away shirt because I understand the costs associated for fans supporting a football club.”
