Doncaster Rovers have unveiled their third kit for the 2018/19 season as part of a kit design process aimed at helping to raise awareness of mental health in Doncaster and beyond - with the winning look created by an 11-year-old fan.
More than 300 children entered the competition and the winner, was local child, Nate Nisar, who entered the competition through his school.
Nate said: I went with the triangles because I wanted to choose a retro design, with the colours representing emotions.

"People with mental health issues can be feeling lots of different emotions, represented by the variety of different colours."
The club, working with NHS Doncaster CCG, created a unique design competition, where children and young people from across the borough were invited to design Doncaster Rovers third kit for the current campaign. As part of the process, the design pack included a series of mental health messaging, provided by NHS Doncaster CCG, aimed at children and young people.
Rovers players Andy Butler, James Coppinger, John Marquis, Matty Blair and Tommy Rowe picked the final design.
Club captain Andy said: "It is great that the club have done a kit to raise awareness of a good cause for the third year in a row.
"We had a few options put in front of us, and this one stood out. It is colourful, bright and something that has never been done before - we went round the team and they all thought this stood out and it'll be an honour to wear it."
The third kit will be sponsored by mental health charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), an award winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide which is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. CALM have been given the shirt sponsorship by LNER, the club's current shirt sponsor.
