Kitlocker.com Kits of the Year - 2023 (Part Two)

Welcome to the Kitlocker.com Kits of the Year 2023! (Part Two)🏆

We say this every year, but we reckon that 2023 has been our best so far for beautiful kits. And thanks to you guys for helping us to push the boundaries of kit design.

There were soooo many incredible kits shipped out of Kitlocker HQ this year that we’re having to do this in two parts. Here is part two, and if you missed it, click here to catch up on part one.

Get a load of these 👇

Lincolnshire Lancers RUFC 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The Lancers recently took part in our Kitunlocker campaign, highlighting clubs that have a purpose off the pitch, as well as on it. 

The club was formed in order to provide a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community that wanted to take part in rugby and sport in general. The Lancers have gone from strength to strength, attracting players from far and wide to their sessions.

To find out more about the club and admire their AMAZING Umbro kit, check out the video below ⬇️

Carlisle United

The 2023 edition of Kits of the Year has been very heavy on Umbro and we’re very much here for it. Our relationship with the iconic football brand has allowed us to be creative in ways never previously possible, and heralded some magnificent designs in the process! None less so than this season’s Carlisle kits…

The retro home kit design, inspired by their 1993-95 kit, went viral across social media and their kit launch saw fans queuing outside the ground to get their hands on the new kits. They required multiple restocks in the opening months of the season and by September, the Cumbrians had already sold double the number of shirts they had throughout the whole of the previous campaign.

A job well done we reckon 🙌

South Shields FC

The new South Shields FC limited edition third shirt has gone down a storm with fans of the National League North club. The classy design features a map of the town and is elevated by SSFC and Umbro logos. 

Yet another fine example of our work with Umbro on bespoke match shirts 😍

Filthy Fellas

These boys have revolutionised the podcast game. Whether you watch them on YouTube or casually listen on Spotify, you’ll always be entertained.

So what’s the obvious next step for a bunch of football loving podcasters? A completely bespoke Umbro shirt created by Kitlocker.com of course.

And what a shirt it is. The letters F-I-L-T-H-Y cascade beautifully down the front and back of the garment. The additional flashes of pink on the badge, collar and cuffs also make it even more eye-catching.

You can grab your own from the Filthy Fellas website now.

FOSROC Steelers

FOSROC Steelers are a professional Rugby Sevens side based in Scotland. They enlisted our help when they needed a kit for the prestigious Dubai 7s tournament which was held earlier this month.

We hooked them up with this beautiful made to order Castore rugby kit. We’ll let the kit speak for itself on this one. But if you fancy a bespoke Castore kit for your club, click here.

Lewes FC

We’re really excited to be working with Lewes FC for the first time this season 🤝

If you don’t know much about them, it’s worth finding out more. Back in 2017, Lewes FC became the first professional or semi-professional club to pledge equal pay for both their men’s and women’s teams. This saw them become trailblazers for equality in football, earning the nickname “Equality FC”.

Check out the kit launch video for their stunning Nike match kits ⬇️

90s Baby Show

Here is yet another amazing shirt that we recently created for a podcast giant. The boys at 90s Baby Show asked us for something original that represented their unique style and branding.

That lightning bolt graphic is brought to you by the magic of sublimation. And the 90s Baby logo just works so well as a crest on a football shirt. Add in the famous Nike swoosh and you’ve got a recipe for success 👌

See you in 2024! 🥳

That wraps up our Kits of the Year for 2023 👕

An unbeleivable year for kits. We’ve loved working on every single one that we’ve designed, printed, embroidered, sublimated and DTG’d.

Here’s to more of the same (and probably even better) in 2024! ❤️
