Colchester United will unveil their brand new home and away shirts at the club's Open Day next month.

The U's will reveal their new strips at the event at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, on July 19.

Colchester general manager Tim Waddington said: “We think that they’re strong shirts for next season and there’s a nice continuity between them.

“They look good and it’s a good design, so hopefully they’ll go down well with our supporters.

“We have a home shirt deal with Weston Homes who have committed for three years.

“Robbie (Cowling) stepped in a few years ago with Jobserve sponsoring the away shirts and he pays top dollar for it.

“Having the blue and white on the road too would be the ideal scenario and I understand the more traditionalist view.

“But we have a home and a away sponsor and we’re lucky to have such good support from both Bob Weston and Robbie Cowling, because that’s ultimately what keeps ticket prices down."
