Treaty United have confirmed that the club's senior and academy sides will wear a blue home strip for the 2024 season.

The move will see Treaty line out in the colour that is most generally associated with the long, storied history of senior football in Limerick.

The origins of the sport in the county saw sides line out in red-and-white striped jerseys in 1937, something which United have paid homage to in the four seasons since they were formed.

However, a change to the jerseys from August 1943 onwards has seen the colour blue become closely linked with Limerick football, and the club have acted on the wishes of supporters by changing the home kit colours going forward.

Speaking to TreatyUnitedFC.com, CEO Ciara McCormack announced; “One of the things that we have said, and was most important to us coming in, was that we wanted to give local fans a voice.

"The home strip being blue was a loud message we heard and with this in mind we are excited to have Treaty wear blue at home for the 2024 season.”

The new home kit, which manager Tommy Barrett has described as the “best designed Limerick senior soccer kits that I have seen”, will be previewed at the 2024 season launch of SSE Airtricity League of Ireland on Wednesday, February 7th.

The new strip is set to make it's debut when Treaty kick off their First Division campaign against Cobh Ramblers at Markets Field on Friday, February 16th.
