This kit will ordinarily be worn for all club home fixtures, save for exceptions as described in rule number 4.

The design of the shirt will be selected in accordance with any other relevant rule or resolution relating to the process for the selection of a new kit, and in accordance with the established home and away kit rotation.

The colours used must comply with any league or FA regulations that may place restrictions on them.

3. The goalkeeper’s kit will consist of another strip of alternative colours, generally as supplied by the kit manufacturer. The colours used must comply with any league or FA regulations that may place restrictions on them.
