Hartlepool United have released their new away strip.

Hartlepool United travel to Aldershot Town on Saturday - and the players will be wearing the new MEYBA away strip which has been unveiled.

Promotion-chasing Pools will be looking to build on the 2-0 victory over Barrow last weekend when they return to league action away on Saturday (3pm KO).

A club statement read: “A popular colour with supporters, black returns for the new campaign as part of a clean, contemporary design with a distinctive Hartlepool identity. A tonal ship’s wheel pattern runs throughout the shirt, inspired by the supporter-designed crest worn by Pools between 1995 and 2017 and the town’s proud maritime heritage.

“Sky-blue trim provides a striking contrast to the black base and maintains a clear connection to the club’s traditional colours. Finer details include “1908” beneath the rear collar and “Never Say Die” inside the neckline.” Officials say the shirt combines ‘lightweight performance fabric with a contemporary leisurewear-inspired look’.

Rose Stoker, commercial and operations director at Hartlepool United, said: “We know how popular black away kits are with our supporters, and we wanted to bring that colour back with a design that felt modern and unmistakably Pools. The ship’s wheel pattern connects the shirt to a former crest that many Poolies remember fondly, while also reflecting the maritime heritage of our town. The sky-blue detailing brings the club’s traditional colours into the design and works brilliantly against the black.

“We also wanted to create a shirt that supporters would enjoy wearing beyond matchday. It has a clean, understated look, but the finer details make it uniquely ours. MEYBA understood what we wanted to achieve from the outset and has delivered a kit we’re extremely proud of. We can’t wait to see the team wear it for the first time at Aldershot on Saturday.”

The new 2026/27 away kit will be available soon from Pools Retail, online and in store. The shirt will be available in mini, junior and adult sizes, with a limited number of long-sleeved versions also available.

Mark Underwood, CEO at MEYBA, added: “This was a standout concept from the earliest stages, and we worked closely with the club’s commercial team to develop the initial idea and shape the direction of the kit. The black base, tonal ship’s wheel pattern and sky-blue detailing made an immediate impression. Together, we refined those elements to create a shirt with its own character that still feels unmistakably Pools. We wanted the jersey to perform for the players on the pitch while having a clean, contemporary look that supporters would want to wear every day.

“We’re delighted with what we’ve created together and proud to continue building our partnership with Pools.”
