Wanderers are planning a starring role in the colour purple on their Premiership travels next season.

After recent successes in various shades of blue, yellow, red and blue and dark green, the Super Whites are breaking new ground with their latest away kit.

Spurs, Derby, Leeds and Blackburn can expect to be dazzled by a purple haze when Wanderers hit town.

Two new kits will make their debuts in the sports shops this summer.

A new round-necked 'home' shirt will be in the traditional white but with navy blue side-panels and trim - similar in style to the current England design.

But the 'away' version will be a real eye-catcher.

Wanderers have gone for a vivid shade of purple - this time with a collar - with a large white disc on the chest bearing the Reebok logo.

The home kits should be available in early June with purple making its debut in early August.

Wanderers will revert to squad numbers again next season and will follow Premiership rules in having standard style letters and numbers on their shirts.
