The event also gave fans a first look at their unofficial jerseys, which will be slightly re-branded when the league moves to a new supplier.

The navy jersey featured burgundy shoulders, with patches of a chevron topped with a crown.

Club president Glenn Stanford says the jerseys are “built on tradition, resilience, and a relentless drive for excellence.”
