Bath City Third Shirt 25/26: Be the Designer!
Thursday, 12 June, 2025Calling all BSU students!
Bath Spa University and Bath City Football Club are proud to announce an exciting challenge, inviting students from across the institution to partake in a competition to design the football club’s brand new third shirt for the 2025/26 season.
The latest step in a long-standing partnership between BSU and BCFC, this will be the first time a student has designed one of the club’s shirts, creating a bespoke design that will be worn by the team and sold in the club shop – and beyond!
The brief is simple: let your creativity run wild. Whether creating a colourful expression or a design centred on the club’s history and heritage, there are almost no limitations as to what can be submitted.
The winning design will be worn by the men’s and women’s first teams and bought by supporters across the region and beyond. The winning designer will have their work produced by world renowned technical supplier Macron and receive full credit for their work, as well as a £200 voucher of their choice and a free season ticket for the 25/26 campaign.
Speaking about the collaboration, Bath City Marketing Director David Matthews commented:
“This is a brilliant opportunity for local students to help shape part of the club’s visual identity for next season. We’re really looking forward to seeing the creativity and ideas from BSU students, and to working closely with the winner to bring their vision to life on and off the pitch.”
WHAT’S ON OFFER?
- The winning design will be worn by Bath City FC first team during the 2025/26 season.
- The shirt will be sold in the club shop, worn by fans across the region and beyond.
- The winning student will receive:
- A £200 prize (voucher of their choice)
- A free season ticket for the 2025/26 season.
- A personalised copy of the final shirt.
- Credit in club communications around the shirt launch.
- The opportunity to work with the club and kit supplier to refine the final production version of the design.
- Portfolio exposure and a great story to tell for future employers.
To help designers with their work, a full brief has been provided with an accompanying pack sharing details about the club’s history, design inspirations and the necessary sponsor logos required to bring the concept design to life.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 4 July at 6 PM, with a winner to be chosen and contacted the following week.
