Speculation behind the "leaked" news of an Umbro and Stretford FC kit deal were laid to rest after it was officially announced that the British sports outfitter will not be the kit choice of the Enders for the 09/10 season.

With just about 2 weeks left to the Ender's inaugural match against The Legends FC, it looks like a race to confirm what Stretford FC will don on the pitch in the matches to follow. There have been fresh rumours though from an unknown source that the management is working hard to firm down a new kit for the new season.

"This is just a minor setback for the club. We are assessing the situation and are quietly confident after speaking a few suppliers that have been in touch with us." said Dennis Wu, the club's official treasurer.

"Our finances looks healthy and we should not be facing much difficulty with securing something in the coming days." Wu continued to hint.

Will a new kit be ready in time for the first match?

SFC News will continue to track the developments with the team kits as well as players' progress leading up to the 29 March kick-off. - SFC News
