A limited edition kit is being launched between Margate FC and indie band The Libertines.

The announcement today sees the club and the band, led by Pete Doherty, extend its partnership for a second year with the limited edition kit for 2019/20 released for pre-order.

Fans will be able to get their names embroidered into the design for the strip, which is being called The Libertines History Kit.

Supporters from all around the world can become part of the club's history with 1,000 names being written into the shirt.

The strip will be the Gate's third kit for next season and is set to be worn by the team in cup competitions including the FA Cup, the FA Trophy and Velocity Trophy.

The current season's home and away strips will both be used for next season alongside the standalone special edition strip.

A club spokesman said: "Margate FC and The Libertines proudly announce an agreement to extend the current sponsorship deal to a second year. To celebrate this news, we are very excited to launch a new Third Kit for the 2019/20 season.

"The Libertines History Kit is so called because it represents the opportunity for fans and supporters to become part of the Club’s history with their names appearing on the kit alongside Pete Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hassall and Gary Powell."

The shirt is priced £40 and available from the club's shop online or at Hartsdown Park with all orders received by July 31 eligible for names to be incorporated into the final shirt.

In January, the club announced ambitious plans to redevelop Hartsdown Park with a new stadium and 80-bed hotel is due to start in the summer.
