Colchester United are shooting their way into the 21st century with a new away strip.
The U's have gone continental with a stylish new kit. Out has gone the dowdy but traditional V-neck collar and club badge displayed on the left. In comes a round-neck shirt with blue piping and the U's badge displayed prominently on the centre of the shirt.
Spanish giants Barcelona pioneered the move and Dutch aces Ajax Amsterdam are another club way out in front when it comes to fashion.
U's commercial chief Brian Wheeler said: "It's a beauty, one of our best ever kits. It's got a touch of the Euros about it and it really is different class."
The away shirt is available from the Layer Road club shop priced £39.99 (adults) and £29.99 (children).
The new home kit will be launched early in July.
