Away shirt 2021/22

Here it is, our new away kit for another crack at League One: The 703. It’s our tribute to Roger Thorndale, who passed away during the lockdown in May last year. Sadly we have been unable to say a proper goodbye because of the effects of the pandemic, so this summer we’ve dedicated our new strip to our record appearance maker.

Roger started his Cheltenham Town career in 1955 and went on to make an unprecedented 703 appearances, a record that’s unlikely to ever be beaten.

The new design is stripped back to reflect the style of kit that the ever present right-back would have worn many times on his travels. The royal blue shirt will be matched by blue shorts and white socks, as it would have been back then.

We’ve etched his signature into the neckline of the shirt alongside his incredible record to inspire our current crop of players on the eve of our fifth campaign in the third tier.
