Lions Gibraltar FC x Sir Geoff Hurst 2024-25 Away Kit

Football kit news from Gibraltar as the new Lions Gibraltar FC x Sir Geoff Hurst 2024-25 away kit made by VX3 has been unveiled.

Not only did Sir Geoff Hurst’s hat trick in the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley help England win their first major trophy, but it also inspired a group of locals in Gibraltar to form their own football team, Lions Gibraltar FC.

The club even contacted the FA back in 1966 to ask if they could use the Three Lions badge as part of their club crest.

The 2024-25 Lions Gibraltar FC away shirt is predominantly black with an all over tonal graphic inspired by lions and references to 1966.

Thin orange trim appears on the back half of the black collar whilst the cuffs feature orange and blue trim.

An orange VX3 logo is placed on the right breast with the Lions Gibraltar FC badge on the left breast.

In the centre of the front is the OLBG.com shirt sponsor logo.

Sir Geoff Hurst said, “I honestly never knew anything about this club being formed because of what we achieved – it’s fantastic that it happened and that it is still going now. I think it is great that anything that we have done at national level has an impact throughout the country, and even further.

“When a club uses the Lions, I think it is fantastic and you realise what an influence we have at the top level and it goes right through to the grassroots of the game.

“The club has an ambition to get into Europe, and that would be absolutely fantastic, what an achievement that would be. Unbelievable. For a club like Lions Gibraltar being able to qualify, why shouldn’t they?

“It is a great ambition, they have a great manager and owner putting a structure in place, there is no reason they can’t achieve that, it wouldn’t be a surprise if a team like the Lions qualified for Europe.

“Seeing the Three Lions on the crest brought back a few great memories, for sure. It means so much. It is the only time we have done it [won the World Cup] and it’s fantastic, it makes you realise how big an achievement it was at the time and also now, people stop me in the street and still want to talk to me about it, 58 years on.

“You fully understand how big it was and still is and even more so now as we haven’t won it since. Had we won it more recently, then our bit would have disappeared into the memory but it hasn’t so we’re still there.

“A lot of my work is, to an extent, down to that one game. Also, the fact that I am, sadly, the only player still around. If they want someone from England who has played in a World Cup final then there is only one of us left!”
