New Leicester City Away Kit 2009-10

You have already seen the new Leicester City home kit for the 2009-10 season. Now here is a look at the new away strip for the Foxes.

The new Leicester City away kit is made by Joma. Loros are the shirt sponsors. The shirt is a replica of the one LCFC wore in 1884 ( celebrating the 125th anniversary of the club). It is also somewhat similar to the away jersey worn by the Foxes in 2003-04 ( the last time they were in the Premier League)

The new outfit can be bought from any of the Loros outlets across Leicestershire. City will be wearing this strip on their travels away from the Walkers Stadium in the 2009-10 Coca Cola Championship campaign ( they were promoted as League One winners last season)
