The new Bolton Wanderers 2015-16 Third Shirt features a classy design with royal blue and navy hoops with white applications. It has a classic collar with white trim and white sleeve cuffs.

On the back of the collar is the date of the Disaster (09-03-1946), while the Lancashire red rose is located on the neckline.

The Club’s Head of Commercial, Richard Gough, said: “Our thanks go to Macron for creating what we hope supporters will agree is a fitting tribute to the 33 who lost their lives in the disaster. We had such incredible support from our fans last season with sales of the Blesma shirt raising £10,000 for our limbless veterans and hope that this shirt will sell in equal numbers, raising much needed funds for an exceptionally good local cause.”
