Launched by defensive duo Liam Henderson and Robbie McIntyre, the shirt combines red and black vertical strips, with a "retro" white collar.

The strip is the first in the club's history as Edinburgh City to feature the red used on the Edinburgh coat of arms, which is also a nod to the team's beginnings as Postal United.

A statement from the club read: "The new kit is a celebration of our city and club’s foundation. The design is the first in our modern history to make use of the vivid red from the famed Edinburgh coat of arms; with this jersey the first to make use of the four main colours [black, white, red and yellow] of our city’s crest.

"These hues serve as a everlasting bond with our city, whilst also paying homage to our formation of as a club in 1928 and our revival alongside the reds of Postal United in 1986."

The strip also features the logo of Edinburgh-based Social Bite on the rear of the shirt, following the tie-up between the club and the charity last month.

The shirt is teamed with white shorts and white socks.
