SUNDERLAND has unveiled its new away kit for the 2014-15 Barclays Premier League season.

The kit is being described as "sharp blue".

"Dark grey pinstripes lend a retro feel, while grey and white trims complement the iconic white adidas stripes. The shorts and socks are also ‘sharp blue’, set off by a white trim and adidas detailing," said a Sunderland spokeswoman.

The kit was modelled by Black Cats stars Connor Wickham, John O’Shea and Adam Johnson. Speaking about the change strip, Wickham said: “It’s a really striking kit. I love the bold, bright colour, the design is different to previous kits and I’m sure our fans will like it.”

The new away kit will be officially released on June 27.
