ROVERS will reveal their new home kit and sponsor ahead of the home friendly with Liverpool later this month.

The club will have new home and away strips for their return to the Championship.

The kits will be manufactured by Umbro and Rovers will wear the home strip for the first time on July 19 when Jurgen Klopp's side visit.

The home kit will be revealed and on sale in the days leading up to the Liverpool game while the new away kit will be launched at the end of the month.

Rovers will wear last season's kit in their opening two pre-season friendlies - against Hibs on Sunday and at Port Vale on Saturday week.

Rovers chief executive Steve Waggott said: “As the pre-season programme gets under way this weekend, fans are understandably keen to find out when they can get their hands on the brand new kits.

"We have a fantastic new partner who will feature on the kit and we are working closely with them to ensure all is ready for the big announcement.

"It seems fitting that the new kit and sponsor make their first appearance at a home game, particularly at a game as exciting as the Liverpool fixture – so all our preparations are focused on that.”
