New Bedford Blues Home and Away jerseys launched

Bedford Blues are delighted to reveal their brand new home and away kits for the proposed 2021 Championship season.

The new shirts go #backtothefuture with a design uniquely inspired by the last time Gilbert produced the club’s kit nearly 15 years ago.

Earlier this year, Bedford Blues were pleased to re-join forces with Gilbert Rugby in a long-term partnership and become the only Championship club linked to the most recognisable brand in rugby, sharing the values of history and heritage.

The new Blues home shirt remains a familiar concept, a mainly navy or Oxford Blue, this time with thin sky or Cambridge Blue hoops. The away jersey is a reverse of the home shirt, with both strips designed to give a modern edge to our traditional past.

The most striking addition to this season’s design is 50 supporter names on the bottom panel of both jerseys having taken advantage of the ‘Put your name on the Shirt’ initiative.

Due to our most recent COVID-19 risk management plan, the Club Shop at Goldington Road will remain closed to the public, orders can only be placed online. However, collection can be requested and pre-arranged. Head to https://shop.bedfordrugby.co.uk/ to order.
