HUFC are delighted to launch our 2025 Lest We Forget, commemorative Remembrance Day shirt, which will be worn against Wealdstone on Saturday, 15th November.
Proceeds from the sale and auction of the shirts will go directly to the Hartlepool branch of the Royal British Legion.
Whilst the match-worn player shirts will feature the iconic poppy, fans will notice that the retail shirt this season unfortunately does not, due to commercial partnership agreements and trademarks out of our control.
Jonathan Jones – Global head of Marketing – MEYBA commented:
“We’re deeply honoured to have created two special edition Remembrance shirts for Hartlepool United, each inspired by traditional army fatigues and military camouflage.
“The outfield shirt, in sand tones, will be available exclusively at the Pools Retail store, while the goalkeeper edition, in deep green, will be worn on the pitch as a mark of respect.
“Each design carries hidden details and a hand-drawn ‘Lest We Forget’ in calligrapher’s script — a tribute to all those who have served for the British Armed Forces, both at home and abroad, especially those from the Hartlepool community and others who have been part of the Club’s story.
“A project that carries real meaning for everyone at MEYBA.”
Sian Cameron – Hartlepool Poppy Appeal Organiser stated:
“We are extremely grateful to Hartlepool United for their continued support and friendship over the years.
“Their decision to design these special shirts and to donate the proceeds to the Hartlepool Poppy Appeal is a wonderful gesture that highlights their ongoing commitment to the armed forces community.
“Partnerships like these truly embody the value of remembrance, respect and community spirit that the RBL stands for.”
The limited edition shirt is on sale online from 6pm, with the option of delivery or click and collect.
Match-worn shirts will be auctioned in the weeks following the game.
