Western United are sure to be one of the best-dressed teams in the competition when they run out for their debut Hyundai A-League campaign wearing a team strip produced by iconic sportswear manufacturer Kappa.
United, who will line up for their first campaign in October of this year, have announced a new partnership with the global brand, which will be the club’s official apparel partner.
The deal will see the Italian sportswear giant supply the club with home and away strips and training apparel for players and staff.
In 2019, Western United will join the likes of Leeds United, Napoli and Torino – as well as the recently announced English club Aston Villa – in wearing Kappa apparel.

“As a new club in the Hyundai A-League we’ve got an opportunity to write a new piece of history and we need a quality product, with the right pedigree, to help us do this.”
