Derby County’s 2024/25 home kit has been revealed for the first time!
It was announced in April that following an absence of just over 20 years, PUMA, one of the world’s most recognisable and leading sports brands, was to return as the club’s Official Kit & Training Wear Partner.
Beginning with the upcoming 2024/25 season, PUMA will co-design, manufacture, and supply the matchday kit and training wear for Derby County Men’s and Women’s First Teams, Academy and Derby County Community Trust in a multi-faceted long-term arrangement.
The agreement will also see PUMA co-design, manufacture and supply multiple ranges of co-branded leisurewear for supporters.
The new home kit has now been revealed with the start of the upcoming Sky Bet Championship season closing in and it will make its debut in the pre-season friendly at Matlock Town on Friday 12th July 2024 (7:45pm kick-off).
The home kit is inspired by Derby County and PUMA’s past, brought into focus for the future.
The shirt is a classic black and white design, with clean, simple lines in a dryCell fabric, emphasising PUMA’s Forever Faster philosophy.
The wraparound feature on both the shirts and shorts cuts through the black, representing unity and moving forwards.
The retro rewind theme is emphasised through the use of the Ram horns as bespoke detailing on the cuff and neck, with the design style paying tribute to the iconic 1990s period that the club last sported PUMA.
The back of the home shirt features the wording ‘Derby County’, and on the front of the kit will be the logo of FanHub, the club’s recently announced principal sponsor for the Men’s first-team.
The Men’s first-team squad’s playing kits will also display the logo of back of shirt and shorts sponsor HSG UK, as well as sleeve sponsor Tonic Weight Loss Surgery, during the season. Supporters wishing to add either of these two logos to their shirts can do so in-person at the DCFCMegastore ONLY.
The 2024/25 home kit is ON SALE NOW at dcfcmegastore.com and from the DCFCMegastore at Pride Park Stadium.
Please Note: The 2024/25 season squad numbers will be confirmed at a later date.
Ruth How, Director of Marketing, PUMA UK & Ireland said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Derby County as their Official Kit & Training Wear Partner.
“Derby County is a club with a rich history and a passionate fanbase, and we are excited to bring our innovative designs and high-performance gear to the team and its supporters.
“At PUMA, we are committed to supporting top-tier talent and fostering a spirit of excellence, and we believe this partnership will showcase the best of both brands. We look forward to a successful season ahead and to seeing the Rams make their mark on the pitch with PUMA.”
