In the first deal of its kind in the history of the Club, Hitchin Town Football Club is delighted to announce a new three-year kit partnership with Danish kit manufacturer Hummel, taking effect from the 2021-22 season.

Within the deal, Hummel will provide all teamwear from the first-team and ladies team to all 20+ Hitchin Town Youth FC teams, retaining the traditional yellow and green colours, via Stevenage-based retailer KC Sports Teamwear.

The new home kit will be unveiled during Spring 2021, with hummel also supplying the custom commemorative away shirt to mark the 150th anniversary of Hitchin FC kicking off the FA Cup. Just 29 of these shirts, limited to 150, remain available for sale until next Tuesday, 9th March at 9pm. Click here to ensure your name is on our shirt next season.

Also available from the end of April, a new Hummel x HTFC leisure range will be stocked within the online Club shop, with the first team and youth team coaches displaying a consistent range throughout.

The Canaries join a portfolio of Clubs wearing the famous Hummel chevrons next season, including The Danish National Team, Premier League sides Everton and Southampton and Championship sides Charlton Athletic, Bristol City and Middlesborough.

Founded in 1923, Danish sportswear brand Hummel are one of the oldest sport brands in the world with an incredible footballing heritage.
