So far only the white home shirt has hit the shelves

The rest of MK Dons’ kits will be reveled before the season kicks off, with the away kit set to break cover next week.

So far, only the unbranded home shirt has been unveiled by the club ahead of the League One campaign, with the players wearing it for the first time in the 0-0 draw with Barnet on Tuesday night.

Goalkeepers Craig MacGillivray and Seb Stacey have so far worn two different training tops between the posts, with their 26/27 gear yet to arrive from manufacturers Reebok, who are set to deliver the change kits imminently.

Though the kits are behind schedule, additional delays were incurred with the late addition of sleeve sponsor Visit Kuwait which had to be printed ahead of delivery.

Chief executive Neil Hart said: “They will land imminently. Away shirts will launch next week and the third shirt, along with the goalkeepers the week after. They will arrive here in the coming days, then we’ll get everything ready and launch.

“The launches have been later than I would have wanted ideally, but we are where we are.

“The quality has been a real step up this year, this year’s shirt is great.”

Those shirts though will also come without a front of shirt sponsor. Though the club has been in discussion with several businesses about taking over from Suzuki UK, who adorned the shirts for more than a decade, Hart said said launching without a brand on the front has been generally well-received.

He said: “I think giving the fans a blank shirt is something they’ve never had before and the data and sales have shown it to be the best first week of sales the club has ever had. That tells us a positive story, it has been well-received.

“We’ve been working very hard on it in the last year, but we just didn’t land the right partner from a value point of view, and the right brand. We’ve had lots of interest, opportunities, discussions with businesses across the region, we just didn’t feel it sat right. We’re looking forward to dealing with those businesses in other ways across the club.

“We will continue to work on the front of the shirt, so watch this space. The shirt I think looks stunning, it’s a beautiful shirt and I urge the fans to go and get one.”

And should the club confirm a deal, supporters with a blank shirt will have the opportunity to have it printed on the front of their shirt, Hart confirmed.
