Carlisle United reveal new kits for 2021/22 season

And the Blues have delved into their past for inspiration for the home kit that Chris Beech's side will wear.

The design is a tribute to the famous 1974/5 kit sported by the Cumbrians when they played in the old First Division.

The blue shirt with red trim features a white vertical stripe down the centre of the jersey.

The Errea strip also features blue shorts and socks.

United, meanwhile, have gone back to black for their change strip.

The away kit features a black shirt with a red, white and blue striped section.

The kit, with blue trim, also has black shorts and socks.

The 2021/22 kit also features the logo of Thomas Graham, who have replaced Edinburgh Woollen Mill as United's main shirt sponsor.

United are holding an official kit launch event at the Blues Store for season ticket holders from 4pm today.

The kits then go on general sale tomorrow. 

It is not the first time that United have sought inspiration from their 74/5 heroes with a recent kit, with 2014/15's home kit also a tribute to that famous campaign's design.
