Mansfield Town revealed their new home kit made by Errea for the 2011/12 season, sponsored by Greene King.
This new shirt is made up of an amber body with a blue strip on the right shoulder. The shorts and socks are royal blue.
The new home & away shirt sponsors, Greene King are a leading pub retailer, and have been operating for over 200 years. Its Free Trade Director, Joe Parks said on the day of the unveiling: "We're absolutely delighted to be the new sponsors of Mansfield Town. When Steve Barker [the Stags' chief executive] offered me this opportunity, I didn't need asking twice.
"Mansfield are my hometown club and I don't think there is anything better than having Greene King IPA on the front of that wonderful amber shirt.
"Mansfield is an area in which we want to grow our brand. We know that Mansfield people like decent beer because they grew up drinking good beer. Unfortunately, their own brand has been tarnished over the past few years but I'm hoping IPA can take their place."
Chairman John Radford said: "It's important that the club has a good main sponsor and I believe Greene King will be a solid sponsor for us. We thank them for their sponsorship for the forthcoming season and hope to form an even closer relationship with them.
"We've just had the first batch of kits through and they'll be available to buy almost straight away."
Captain Adam Murray told mansfieldtown.net: "It's a great design. The sponsor's logo takes up a good area of the shirt which is good for them."
Adam Smith agreed, saying: "It's nice and light. You feel mobile in it. It's a change from last season's but I prefer it."
The new home shirt is priced at £39.99 for adults, with shorts retailing at £15.95 and socks at just £8.95.
Junior kit is priced at £34.99 for a home short, £12.95 for shorts and only £6.95 for socks.

Wish we had an Errea design like the one Norwich have just released - classy!
The kit itself looks very cheap though, while the sponsor makes it even worse.
PS: It is called Erreà and not Errea. There is the accent!
Who are Castle?
It really does take up a good area of the shirt, right in the middle, below the errea logo and club crest, a decent size as well, not at all like every other shirt in the world. I hope other clubs adopt this placement for sponsors.
Plus, the guy in the middle of the first picture looks like he needs a good pre-season.
this it defo pub team shirt
Everyone whinges about templates, all shirts looking the same, etc and as soon as someone tries to come up with something different they get no credit at all.
I think it is very eye catching and looks really good.
I bet that if it was carrying the Umbro or Puma logo then all the sheep on here would be cuming in their pants it.
Doubt it, this is terrible.
No mate. Its just a rubbish design whoever made it.
kit is terrible
Perhaps they should be called 'Boysfield Town.
Adam Smith.. he had just heard a bigger club Alfreton Town were interested in signing him and was excited, sadly it proved to be a hoax
As a Stags fan i'm inclined to agree, not 'amber' enough for my liking!
you britons cant sort out italian design clearly
