THIS is the Home Shirt your Saints will be wearing in the 2017 season - and it is now available for pre-order.

It carries the traditional Red Vee rising from waist height up to the shoulders on a solid white background.

The Vee, neck and sleeve trims of the shirt have a red Marl-effect finish giving a fashionable touch whilst the lower hem carries an imprint of the Club Crest which adds extra detail to the shirt.

Our Principal Partner for 2017, the RCMA Group, will take pride of place on the chest; to the right are RCL with collar sponsor St.Helens College.

Sleeve sponsors are once again Totally Wicked, who are also on the back of the shirt, and MyProtein - and on the reverse are Hattons Solicitors and A-Star Recruitment.

Short sponsors are AFEX and ESRG and AFEX also feature on the socks.

Saints Replica version shirts are produced in the UK by O'Neills using a fabric called Koolite.

This is breathable, cool and offers high wicking properties for enhanced wearer comfort. It also compromises anti-bacterial properties with good shape retention after multiple washing.

Saints Merchandising Manager Steve Law said: "We are delighted to launch the 2017 Home shirt for pre-ordering. Taking on board feedback from the fans we have a deep red vee and this year it has a marl effect to link in with the 2017 Away Kit and Trainingwear range.

"The shirt will combine with red shorts - for the first time in more than 10 years - and white socks to give it a fresh look when the players take to the field in the 2017 season.

"Those players who helped us with the launch were delighted with the look and feel of the new kit and they are already looking forward to wearing it with pride as they represent Saints and our loyal fans in 2017."
