CLUB STATEMENT:
The Club can reveal our new home and away kits for the 2024/25 season, designed by Macron.
Our navy blue home kit features yellow pinstripes on the shirt and a yellow collar, while the shorts also include touches of yellow. It’s the most prominent use of yellow on the home shirt since the ‘custard splat’ kit of the 1990s.
The away shirt is predominantly red for the first time in 15 years. It is the same design as the home kit, with the pinstripes and collar in navy blue. The logos of the Club and Macron are in yellow.
The club also said earlier in the week that they had been left blown away by the reaction to the 2024/25 season tickets going on sale, with 1,354 new ticket holders purchase in the first week and 1,875 fans renewing from 2023/24, meaning there is a total of 3,229 season tickets sold, and this has already passed last year’s amount.
Southend add: “2023/24 season/half-season ticket holders have until Thursday 1st August to secure their current seat, at which point those seats will be released.
“Everyone at the Club thanks you for the incredible support you’ve shown this week. If you haven’t bought a season ticket yet, you can do so HERE.
“Should everyone who’s left to renew take up their seat, we look set to have over 4,500 season ticket holders for the new season.”
As mentioned, Southend United amuse fans with a cheeky dig at West Ham in their brilliant video unveiling the 2024/25 kits…
