Widnes launch new away shirt

Championship side Widnes have unveiled their new 2011 away kit in grey and orange, by manufacturers O’Neills.

The Vikings launched the shirt to a group of more than 100 invited guests at the James Edwards Land Rover showroom in Chester, with the shirt going on to sale to fans on Wednesday, December 8th.

The shirt includes the logo of new sponsors Medicash, a leading health care provider who also sponsor St Helens, who will share Widnes’ Stobart Stadium home next season.

Widnes Vikings chief executive Julie Gaskell said: “We are very excited to have Medicash on board for the 2011 campaign. Sponsors’ support is crucial to ensure we can grow as a club and achieve our goal of playing in the Super League.”

Medicash chief executive Sue Weir said: “We are delighted to become a partner of Widnes Vikings and are looking forward to what will hopefully be a successful season. We will be working with other associated partners to develop the Vikings Business Club and improve and strengthen Vikings’ links with local companies and community groups.”
