These are the new lazio Roma 2008/2009 home, away, 3rd and goalkeeper kits made by Puma. Lazio's colours of white and sky blue were inspired by the national emblem of Greece, due to the fact that Lazio is a mixed sports club this was chosen in recognition of the fact that the Ancient Olympic Games and along with it the sporting tradition in Europe is linked to Greece.
Originally Lazio wore a shirt which was divided into white and sky blue quarters, with black shorts and socks. After a while of wearing a plain white shirt very early on, Lazio reverted to the colours which they wear today. Some seasons Lazio have used a sky blue and white shirt with stripes, but usually it is sky blue with a white trim, with the white shorts and socks. The club's colours have led to their Italian nickname of biancocelesti.

Stephen Warnock and Matt Derbyshire will be on hand to officially open the new-look Roverstore on Saturday morning, to serve the first few lucky customers, and of course sign autographs for fans.
The Roverstore, which is back under control of the club, has undergone an extensive re-development over the last few weeks, but the finishing touches are now being applied to the exciting new retail outlet at Ewood Park.
A stock of official Umbro trainingwear, leisurewear and merchandising will be available for purchase, but to begin with the range will be limited, however this will be ramped up over the coming weeks with more varied stock arrivals.
Rovers’ Managing Director, Tom Finn, said: "We are very excited by the new Roverstore. It looks impressive and we believe it will prove a big hit with our supporters.
"A lot of thought has gone into the design and planning and fans will be able to see and judge for themselves from Saturday morning."
However, one part of the planned celebration – the launch of the new 08/09 away kit – has had to be delayed due to a manufacturing problem involving kit supplier Umbro.

Ross County unveiled the new kits for the coming 08/09 season. Both home and away kits are by Adidas and will be supplied through Glasgow based sports company Football 1st. The home strip will remain navy but the big news is the Club’s decision to return to red for the away strip.
Inverness based HIGHnet, Scotland’s leading business communications provider, have agreed a sponsorship deal which will take in the next 2 seasons. The agreement comes after several years of strengthening ties between Ross County and HIGHnet, who have been one of the strongest supporters of the Club’s acclaimed Youth Development programme.
HIGHnet’s managing Director, Dave Siegel, was understandably delighted with the deal, "We’ve been involved with Ross County for a long time now, both as fans and as a corporate sponsor. Our collaboration with the Club to support their youth development scheme formed Ross County Telecom, and given the exciting times which lie ahead for both our business and the Club, we see this sponsorship deal as a natural development in the HIGHnet-RCFC relationship."

These are the new Leeds United Home, Away and 3rd Macron kits that will be worn by the team in the 2008/09 season. The players are already using the new training kit range supplied by Macron, and the home strip will be used in a competitive fixture for the first time against York City at KitKat Crescent on Friday evening.
The shirts will not have a sponsor for Friday night's fixture as the club have encountered a number of contractual issues with the company who had agreed and signed a two-year contract with the club on May 26 2008 to be our shirt sponsor. We are looking at resolving the outstanding issues as quickly as possible.
The club have, as a precaution, also held discussions with a number of local based companies about becoming the main shirt sponsor if the outstanding issues cannot be resolved. It is hoped to be able to make an announcement as to the shirt sponsor for the 2008/09 season within the next seven days.
