Sky Blues 2011/12 Kit Revealed

Coventry City have revealed the new home kit for the 2011/12 season.



The new kit features a retro badge, which is in keeping with the historic style and is exactly the same as an original drawing taken from the programmes of the early 1960s. It will be used on the home kit but the current crest will remain on the away strip and will continue to be the club’s official crest.

Justin Tose, Coventry City’s retail manager, said: “We are really pleased with the feedback we’ve had from everyone – it’s been a very interesting process and there are so many people who have helped along the way.

“When you delve back into the rich history of this club you realise you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There was so much fantastic material to work with and we feel this is a great tribute and celebration of the fact that the club will have been wearing sky blue for 50 years in 2012.”

The kit is based on that strip that began the so-called Sky Blue Revolution, which ultimately saw Coventry City promoted to the top-flight for the first time in 1967.
