Cork City FC has launched its new home and away kits, with one jersey giving a nod to Leeside band The Frank and Walters.

Designed and manufactured by the club’s in-house brand Rebel Army Clothing, both kits take inspiration from local themes, with the design for the home jersey pulling on Cork’s Norse and Viking history, and the away jersey displaying lyrics from The Frank and Walters’ famous song ‘After All’.

The white home shirt, with red-and-green trim, displays a faint pattern on the body, taken from drawings of the Norse era, as well as featuring a woven club badge with an embroidered outline. The bright orange away shirt features a black trim with The Frank and Walters band name embroidered on the back of the neck and lyrics on the sleeve.
