We all know LGBTQ+ representation in football has been a touchy subject, but now the industry is driving inclusivity and visibility in a fresh campaign.
Partnering with Adidas, Stonewall FC announced the launch of their brand new kits last week (December 8) which were debuted by the club on Saturday (December 12).
Stonewall FC have stated the kits are central to a “bigger purpose” which involves encouraging LGBTQ+ representation and a wider commitment to the queer community.
The three new shirts will all include LGBTQ+ sewn-in details to distinguish their appearances.
The left sleeve of each shirt will include a newly stitched modern LGBTQ+ tag while the right sleeve will feature “Kick It Out” text as a message of support in the fight against racism and discrimination in football.
