Hull FC have unveiled their 2023 third jersey, inspired by a tradition that goes back centuries!
The Airlie Birds have taken inspiration from their annual Hull Fair neighbours on Walton Street, designing a bright & bold third shirt that will be worn at the 2023 Magic Weekend.
Inaugurated in 1279, Europe’s largest travelling fun fair has been coming to Hull every year for over 700 years now and it is one of the city’s biggest traditional events.
The fun fair was held at several different locations until 1888, when it moved to its current home of Walton Street, located on the doorstep of the MKM Stadium.
As proud neighbours of the travelling fairground, Hull FC’s reimagined 2023 third shirt takes inspiration from the iconic bright lights, featuring a sublimated aerial view of the fun fair on a deep navy panel that symbolises the autumnal night sky.
Designed by the club’s official technical and merchandise partner hummel®, the bold third shirt is proudly fronted by local company Timber Angel for the first time as they enhance their burgeoning commercial relationship with the club.
Elsewhere on the jersey, company logos for Jacuzzi, Paragon, CRK Engineering, Hedon Insurance, Vista Frames, Blood Clinic By Atropa and Claddingking all sit proudly.
The jersey is on sale online now here, whilst supporters can also head in store from 9am tomorrow morning to pick up the brand-new third jersey when it goes on general sale.
