WANDERERS will allow fans to pick their home and away kit for next season by holding a unique online vote.

The club has confirmed that on Friday three ‘concept’ designs will be launched for both kits, with supporters able to pick their favourite.

Bolton are believed to be one of the first Football League teams in England to make such a move, and chief executive Neil Hart hopes people will take their opportunity to have a say on what the players will wear next season.

“We have got a really exciting, exclusive opportunity coming out for fans,” he told The Bolton News. “On Friday, we will be releasing three options of the home kit and three options of the away kit for 2023/24 and we are going to ask you, the fans, what you would like.

“I think that is a really innovative thing to do, I think it is exactly what this club is about. Sharon [Brittan] and I have discussed it at length and we want supporters to be involved.

“That is one of the key decisions of the year we make – what is our kit going to look like next year? And we want a view from all the fans.

“We are working with a really innovative supporter engagement platform, and you will hear more about that on Friday, but we are very excited to be working with it.

“It will be all out on Friday on the club website and we urge fans to go and feedback and vote on what kit they like.”

Voting for the kits will begin on Friday to allow Wanderers time to work with Macron and ensure the designs are ready on time for next summer.

League One Exeter City allowed fans to choose their 2022/23 home kit but Wanderers could be the first club to put both home and away shirts to the public vote.

This year’s away kit has been one of the biggest sellers in recent memory, and Hart hopes that by working with the supporters, both designs will be equally popular next year.

“That is absolutely correct and we can’t wait,” Hart added. “We are very excited about it.”
