EFL League Two-Kant Newport County released its road sweater on Friday for the 2025-26 season with La Liga Outift Athletic Bilbao and dedicated to refugee children.
«The red and white athletics-inspired kit will celebrate the historic ties of friendship, humanity and generosity with the La Liga club that extends for almost 100 years,» the Welsh team said in a statement.
During the Spanish Civil War in 1937, thousands of Basque children were evacuated from Bilbao to Great Britain. Of these, 56 children found refuge in Newport.
«Many of the children of ’37 have remained in Newport and their own families in the area were brought up as a strong part of the local community,» the club added.
Neal Heard, the creative director of Newport County, was behind the ideas of the kit concept and the collaboration.
Newport starts his League Two season with a home against Notts County on August 2 before visiting Crawley Town for the first match of the campaign on August 9.
