Hartlepool United is proud to unveil its new MEYBA Home Kit for the 2026/27 season.
A modern interpretation of the Club’s iconic blue and white stripes, the bespoke design honours Hartlepool United’s proud traditions while introducing a fresh look for the season ahead.
Taking pride of place for the first time on the Home shirt is the Club’s enhanced crest, representing an important moment in Hartlepool United’s evolution.
Beneath the rear collar, “1908” pays tribute to the year the Club was founded, while “Never Say Die” is printed inside the neckline as a reminder of the resilience and determination that have long defined the Club and its supporters.
Developed in partnership with MEYBA, the shirt has been produced using lightweight, breathable performance fabric to provide comfort on and off the pitch.
Workwear Express returns as Front of Home Shirt Partner for the 2026/27 season, with its branding once again featuring on the front of the Club’s famous blue and white stripes.
Rose Stoker, Commercial and Operations Director at Hartlepool United, said: “Right from the start, we knew we wanted to bring back the traditional blue and white stripes that supporters instantly associate with Hartlepool United. That became the foundation for the entire design process.
“We’re incredibly proud of our history, so it was important that every detail had a purpose. From our enhanced crest and the ‘1908’ detail beneath the rear collar to ‘Never Say Die’ inside the neckline, this is a shirt that respects our traditions while reflecting where the Club is today.
“MEYBA understood exactly what we wanted to achieve. They listened, shared our vision and worked closely with us throughout the process to create a Home shirt we’re genuinely proud of.
“I can’t wait to see Victoria Park full of blue and white again, and I genuinely believe we’ve created a shirt that Hartlepool supporters will wear with pride throughout the season.”
Building on a successful first season together, Hartlepool United and MEYBA have continued to strengthen their partnership ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Working closely throughout the design process, the Club and MEYBA have continued to build on a strong partnership, creating a Home shirt that reflects the traditions of Pools while meeting the demands of the modern game.
Mark Underwood, CEO at MEYBA, added: “Our second season with Pools has allowed us to build on the strong relationship we’ve developed with the Club. Working closely together over the past year has given us a real understanding of what Pools means to its supporters, and that’s reflected in this Home shirt.
“It quickly became clear that returning to the iconic blue and white stripes was fundamental to the Club’s vision. Our role was to bring that vision to life while incorporating the finer details that make this shirt unmistakably Pools, from the new crest and ‘1908’ to ‘Never Say Die’ inside the collar.
“We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created together, and we can’t wait to see the blue and white stripes back where they belong at Victoria Park.”
The Hartlepool United 2026/27 Home Kit will be available soon from Pools Retail, both 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.
Further details, including sale dates and times, will be announced across the Club’s official channels.
