The blue and white striped shirt will be available for supporters to buy from Friday, August 6, just before Pools’ League Two opener against Crawley Town a day later.
Hartlepool boss Dave Challinor said: “We are back to stripes which I know is popular amongst supporters. It ticks a lot of boxes in terms of your traditional Hartlepool United kit, but it is still fresh and modern. I really like it.
“It is now up to the lads to go out there, in front of a packed-out Victoria Park and do the kit justice. 100 years since we joined the Football League is a perfect time to celebrate to history and the success of the club and long may that continue.”
Here’s how some supporters reacted to the kit announcement on social media:
