Oldham Athletic and hummel revealed their new Away kit for the upcoming 2020/21 season as Latics celebrates its 125th anniversary.
In the second of a three year deal, it sees the Danish sportswear company supply the playing kit and training wear with the brand's iconic chevrons.
Last year, as part of the kit supplier deal with hummel, the club asked for a small group of supporters to be a part of the focus group to take the commemorative shirt designs to the next stage.

Following that, all supporters were allowed to vote on their choice of badge and style of home shirt online with over 1,500 doing so.
The first vote was for the style of badge, with the most popular crest being displayed on the home, away and goalkeeper kits. With a large majority choosing the old style badge that won 91% of the vote.
This special crest will be exclusively used on hummel apparel only throughout the anniversary.
The next was for the actual design of the kit. The option with the most votes was then selected as the home kit, whilst the other automatically became the away kit.
With only 32% of the vote, it means the red, white and navy blue design becomes the away kit.
The red and white stripes as well as the navy blue elements are inspired from the very first kit worn by Pine Villa back in 1895, where Oldham Athletic originated from only four years later.
The away shirt will have navy blue shorts and blue/red socks to accompany it. With the shirt itself having a plain white back.
All kits will once again be made using hummel’s world leading ZeroH20 technique, which enables the production of kits to be sustainable, without the use of water in the dying process.
Each shirt will be emblazoned at the tail, on the inside with the 'Keep The Faith' mantra that has stuck with the club and its supporters during difficult times.
