The Scunthorpe Telegraph revealed the new Scunthorpe United home shirt made by Nike for the 2010/11 season.
The design, a retro effort in the club's traditional claret and blue, will be available from July.
For the first-time ever, it will be produced by Nike – one of two major contracts United have signed with the sportswear giant.
The second deal sees United handing over the club shop to Nike from the start of next season. Both deals are for three years.
The club's commercial manager Michelle Harness said: "Supporters want to see their team in a top-brand shirt and I hope that is what I am delivering.
"In terms of the shop, Nike has larger resources and budget to stock that with a bigger range, so, hopefully, the public is going to be able to get the products they want."
Previously, Iron shirts have been supplied by Carlotti, but the new deal will start in the summer.
A new away shirt, to replace the current blue-striped kit, is due to be launched in June.

i'd rather have a boring shirt that be struggling in league two though.. so fair play.
What makes it funny though is that it is the same template as option 2 for York City FC
Haha, no supporter wants a "top-brand" if the shirt looks quite bad.
A top-brand is a manufactor who creates good designs and not who earn the most money.
Agree with you, id rather have a boring shirt but play in the championship than to be stuck in League 2 for ever and ever.
Our new kit (imps that is) could well be a knock off sunderland shirt....then where will we be??
Still stuck in league 2 while looking like a team who wants to be as popular as newcastle utd!!
The flipside is you Scunny fans will be able to get some wicked training tops / leaisure polo shirts etc....the Nike apparel range is awesome!
....WHO PUT THE CU NT IN SC U N THORPE?
Not sure what it is with English clubs having raging boners for claret shirts with blue sleeves. It's a great color combination, but not when every team wears it.
Everyone is correct that it looks like Villa, but that's a color choice and placement thing, not a Nike template thing.
The only thing that's retro about that shirt is the Nike template.
BORING.
Sorry - Chelsea shirts are adidas G-A-R-B-A-G-E and have women's sports bras sewn into them. You don't have much room to talk.
Don't get me wrong; this kit doesn't look bad at all, but the fact remains that this is an overused template.
Next to that: this template is more than a year old.
C'mon, Nike; you can do better than this.
Every club deserves to have an unique shirt and you shouldn't pay attention to the biggest sites that are sponsored by you.
Just because they don't play in the PL doesn't have to mean that you don't have to pay any effort on designing something cool and unique.
I honestly think that Scensoredhorpe were better off with Carlotti and that sure says a lot
Still, if they had waited for a month they might have got one of Nike's new templates for 10/11, thats if can engage the brain cell and come up with some
Not at all like Villa's!
Nothing special at all. Just like Fulham, just the colours are different.
This kit A) looks like Villa and B) Looks like the kits nike was making for arsenal back in the 90's
If the fans fall for this nonsense then they only have themselves to blame...still at least they got rid of Carlotti !

SOO, did they copy Villa back in the day as well?
Hence the generic template.
Cos of c.u.n.t
The club are giving the fans what the fans think they want - a big name label. Unfortunately this seems to be the only claret & blue item in the Nike templates which is a shame. They'll probably appeal to the young (chavs) and to the (older) traditionalists though. We should be lucky we're not going back to white shirts for no apparent reason again.
It's not only Villa who have used that design historically: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scensoredhorpe_United/S[REPLACE]horpe_United.htm
I look forwards to buying some of the training wear! Up the iron!
