Bradford City and Macron combine for classic home kit

The first of the Macron era, after a lucrative six-year partnership was agreed last month, the strip sees the Bantams revert to a traditionally-modern design of claret and amber stripes.

It is now available to pre-order via the club’s online store by clicking here, and from Tuesday in the all-new Bradford City Store on South Parade, which will open at 9am, and be open as late as 7pm on its first two days of business.

The jersey’s classic pattern is completed with a black, v-neck, folding collar, with the letters ‘BCAFC’ stitched into the rear and also embossed into the rear of the shirt.

Main club partners JCT600 and Mitton Group respectively take centre stage on the front and rear, with the words ‘We are the Bantams’ printed into the inside of the collar.

Black shorts see the club’s all new kit sponsor, Regal Foods, sublimated into the fabric, with a claret and amber trim and Macron branding adorning similarly-coloured socks.

This completes a line-up of three Bradford-based companies across the strip.

The jersey has been crafted from a lightweight and tear-resistant Eco-Softlock fabric, a 100 per cent recycled polyester yarn certified by the Global Recycled Standard.

In particular, the back is in Eco Micromesh: a breathable technical fabric, specially designed for game sets with 100 per cent recycled polyester yarn.

It is comfortable thanks to its softness and elasticity.

The lateral inserts in Eco Mesh give this fabric maximum breathability and lightness, thanks to the micro-perforated construction.

A rubberised club crest - complete with a star marking the 1911 FA Cup triumph - is pressed onto a panel which is embroidered into the shirt, appearing on the front alongside the Macron logo.

The rear of the jersey is complemented by a traditional black ribbon, paying tribute to the lives tragically lost in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster on May 11, 1985.
