Carbrini have made the strip, with main club sponsors Home Serve two seasons into a three-year agreement with the Saddlers.

The shirt was unveiled at Home Serve's national headquarters in Walsall this afternoon with a sleek, bespoke and distinctly retro feel.

Carbrini Sportswear is a leisure wear brand of clothing, owned by and sold exclusively at JD Sports. They have developed a full range of leisure wear, ranging from trainers to tracksuits.

Home Serve will have their name emblazoned across both the front and back of the home and away kit, as well as sponsoring training wear.

Martin Bennett, chief executive officer of HomeServe membership, said: "We've enjoyed a really successful first year as Walsall FC's principle partner and shirt, main stand and academy sponsors.

"We are extremely excited to head into the second year of a three-year partnership.

"As the town's largest employer, it's important to us that our partnership with Walsall FC shows our commitment to the local community that we want to be at the heart of.

"Everyone at our Walsall base really behind our partnership and we've had a wonderful year.
