The Rams’ 09/10 Coca Cola Championship home kit has arrived. Derby County have officially revealed their home shirt for the 2009-10 season.
The new strip is made by Adidas and sponsored by Bombardier. Looks quite a bit like last season’s design, but definitely looks more stylish.
Check out the photo of the new Derby kit.

Newcastle United have confirmed that they will meet Eredivisie side FC Utrecht in a preseason friendly on July 26.
The Magpies will start their preseason campaign against Irish side Shamrock Rovers on July 11. Darlington (July 18) and Huddersfield Town (July 21) away are their next two fixtures, following which they will make the trip to Holland to face Utrecht. Three days later on July 29, they will host Leeds United, and will finish their preseason engagements with a trip to Tannadice to play SPL side Dundee United.
The game between Newcastle and FC Utrecht will be held at Stadion Galgenwaard.
On the same day as the Newcastle-Utrecht game, there will be a game between England and Germany to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. This game will be played at 6.15 local time, while the Utrecht-Newcastle game is at 2.30 Dutch time. Many players of the 1990 World Cup squad, which Sir Bobby managed, will be playing in this friendly-Gazza, Peter Shilton, Paul Parker, Steve Hodge, Peter Beardsley and Des Walker. England lost to eventual champions West Germany in the semifinals of the tournament.
The 2009-10 Newcastle United home shirt wasn’t bad, but the away shirt has had fans seeing red ( or yellow, if you would prefer). Every newspaper worth its salt has criticized the new NUFC away strip. The Mirror thinks it will make them look like a gang of “lemon sherbets” on the field, while the Independent has said that the new “custard and cream” design is anything but stylish.
The new Newcastle away kit is an all yellow one, and is manufactured by Adidas. I won’t take the trouble of describing the shirt- the photo below tells it all.
Only one set of fans will be loving this shirt, and that will be Sunderland.
Here is a look at the new Newcastle away shirt.
