AFC Wimbledon are delighted to confirm that we have signed a new kit supplier contract with PUMA.
In support of the kit lifecycle commitment made in the Club’s Fans Charter, the deal will first introduce PUMA third kit, Training and Bench Wear from the start of the 2017/18 season, alongside the Club’s current 2016/17 home and away kits, before launching a full PUMA range for the 2018/19 season.
AFC Wimbledon Commercial Director, Ivor Heller, announced details of the product launch event as part of the new PUMA agreement, ‘‘I have been really impressed with the transition to PUMA. We are now part of a worldwide family and we have been made to feel very welcome.
‘‘The quality of the new training wear and third kit is exceptional. I look forward to revealing all of it at our Kit Launch/Meet the Manager event on Friday the 7th of July at 7.30 pm. I am sure the middle bar at the Cherry Red Records Stadium will be rather busy after this news.’’

We are proud of the association and look forward to a fantastic working understanding with everyone at the Club.
“Looking ahead, I am sure the relationship will be successful and we are proud to be supplying the Dons with their kit for the coming seasons.”
