Cambridge United reveal green and gold 2024/25 third kit inspired by landmarks of Parker’s Piece

Cambridge United have completed their collection of striking 2024/25 kits by unveiling a green and gold third strip inspired by two landmarks of Parker’s Piece common.

Like the floral away shirt unveiled earlier this week, the Umbro produced third kit, once again sponsored by BrewBoard, is said to have been created with elements of the city’s landscape in mind.

This time it was man-made ones though with the shirt being a nod to both the granite column monument inscribed with the first known set of football rules and the artistic lampost that was the first electrical one in the city, known as ‘Reality Checkpoint’ which born feature on Parker’s Piece.

The club said: “The moss green jersey features an all-over sublimation, showcasing heraldic dolphins along with flower and leaf motifs that adorn one of the City’s most unique landmarks.

“As with the new home and away shirts, the jersey is constructed using an athletic Umbro silhouette with an offset hem.

“The shirt features a thin, dropped V rib-neck collar with a gold stroke, matching the ribbed cuffs.

“Reality Checkpoint coordinates are displayed in the upper back placket, with United in Endeavour once again displayed on the inside neck taping.

“A tonal gold and green woven United crest sits on the left breast, with Umbro’s double diamond logo on the right side.”

As with the club’s other kits, The Hill Group are back-of-shirt sponsors, FORA are shirt sleeve sponsors and Alan Boswell Group are back-of-shorts sponsors.

All the 2024/25 kits, along with new training gear, are now available to purchase via the club shop.
