SAINTS have unveiled their new kit for 2018.s

It was revealed tonight to club members at the stadium.

And it bears a remarkable similarity to the one the team sported at the end of the 1980s and early 90s,

That, of course, was the one Saints won the John Player Trophy in for the first and only time in 1988.

Saints Merchandise Manager Steve Law commented: “Once again we have listened to our loyal fans and playing staff who continue to favour the Saints’ tradition of the deeper, bolder red vee on our iconic Home shirt.

“With next season’s home kit we have turned back to the Late Eighties/Early 90’s for our inspiration with the additional filled-in panel on the chest, with white shorts and hooped socks to complete the look.

“We are delighted to welcome our new Front of Home shirt sponsor Cash Converters and their logo sits well across the vee of the home shirt.

“As always we thank all our kit sponsors and O’Neills for their support, and hope our fans continue to support the club through purchasing the official Saints shirts from the Superstore or online at www.saintssuperstore.com."

The attractive white jersey with the unique ‘filled in vee’ design was first worn in the 1987-88 campaign until the end of 1990-91.

It will conjure up images of the wizardry of Shane Cooper, brilliance of Tea Ropati, the belligerence and power of Kevin Ward and the pace and elusiveness of Alan Hunte.

It was also worn in our John Player trophy final success against Leeds at Central Park in 1988.

The shirt is produced in the UK by O’Neill’s Sportswear from a fabric called Koolite.

Cash Converters will be on the front.

Right of chest shirt sponsors are RCL, with collar sponsors St.Helens College whilst the sleeve sponsors are Totally Wicked and MyProtein on the Adult shirts.

On the reverse of the shirt, long-term shoulder sponsors are Hattons Solicitors, with A-Star Recruitment on the lower back hem.

The back of collar sponsor on the Adult shirt is again Totally Wicked.

Short sponsors are ESRG, and AFEX, whilst AFEX also continue to support sock sponsorship.
