Salford City FC have released a limited edition green jacket in collaboration with Adidas to raise money for Salfords Lad Club.

The Ammies modelled the jacket this past weekend, when they visited Wrexham in their 3-2 defeat.

The club are collaborating with the giant sports brand to once again raise money for the famous institution after raising £6,000 in July, with the release of the green football shirt.

With that amount raised, the club have released the green jacket with the iconic Salford Lads club, providing a nod to the fashionable football anthem jackets.

This release aims to raise more for the Lads Club, with it relying upon fundraisers and donations to benefit the future generations of Salford.

And with it celebrating their 120th anniversary, it has become a cultural landmark in Salford.

With the building gaining international recognition from the Smith’s inside cover of their album ‘The Queen is Dead’.

Being ingrained in the Salford community since 1903, it is an image of the community spirit of the City.

And with the celebration of the anniversary being shared between the historically important building and rising football club, shows it banding together.

The Ammies will release a limited number of jackets in three batches, with the final batch having only have 120 released.

Andrew Gordon, Creative & Engagement Manager at Salford City, commented: “We’re delighted to have another opportunity to work together with adidas and Pro:Direct to help raise funds for Salford Lads Club in this their 120th anniversary year.”

With the Lads Club helping thousands of Salfordians Andrew continued by adding: “Over the past 120 years the work that the Lads Club has done and the opportunities and support it has offered to people in our City has been outstanding.”

And with the previous fundraiser already seeing success, it shows that the community has bound together to make sure the volunteer-ked organisation continues for future generations.

Currently on the Salford club store, at the price £80, fans may have to wait a little longer with so many selling out already.
