We\u2019re sure you all know Grenfell Athletic\u2019s story by now. If you don\u2019t, then it\u2019s well worth finding out more. They are a club born out of tragedy but have blossomed into something beautiful for their community. In the process they\u2019ve attracted support from superstars of sport, music and even Hollywood.<\/strong><\/p>

Kitlocker.com<\/a> now enters its third season of supporting Grenfell Athletic with their kit requirements. We offer a retail platform which GAFC have worked hard to direct traffic and supporters towards. And because we\u2019ve relinquished all profit on Grenfell products, we\u2019ve paid over \u00a325,000 to the club over the last two years. This has helped them create some awesome memories and remain a fully sustainable asset to the local community.<\/p>

Here\u2019s club founder Rupert Taylor talking about the value of the GAFC\u2019s partnership with Kitlocker.com<\/a><\/p>

Highlights from the club\u2019s short but eventful history so far include the team winning trophies (inc. a league title), launching their women\u2019s team where they won the TFG cup<\/u><\/a> in their debut game(s) and Harry Kane supporting the cause by donning a shirt on his Instagram story (this directly raised more than \u00a31,000).<\/p>

We also donated 100 shirts to their football shirt amnesty<\/u><\/a>, in which community members could trade their old football shirts for a brand new Grenfell Athletic one.<\/p>

For the club\u2019s home shirt, we went into uncharted territory by wrapping the Grenfell dragon around the Nike swoosh to really amalgamate the partnership. The guys at Nike are rightfully protective of their brand, so it says a lot that they were fully behind the idea, which was the first of its kind at a grassroots level.<\/p>

The shirt is still available<\/u><\/a> for football kit lovers and collectors alike, with all profits going towards the continued development of the club. And keep your eyes peeled for the new shirt dropping early Autumn.<\/p>
