ATHLETIC have unveiled their new away kit ahead of next season's Championship campaign as part of a deal with a new kit manufacturer.
After 11 seasons in partnership with Spanish firm, Joma, Dunfermline have commenced a new partnership with Italian sportswear brand, Errea.
They have become the club's new technical partner - producing bespoke home, away, third and goalkeeper kits, as well as leisurewear, after their deal with Joma, who have produced the kit since 2012/13, ended.
During that period, in whuch the club have twice won the third tier after relegation, and twice reached the Premiership play-off quarter-finals, the Pars said that Joma had produced a "number of outstanding home, away and training pieces".
Errea, founded in 1988, have now taken on the mantle and have revealed a striking new red away shirt, complete with red shorts and red socks.

David Cook, club chairman and CEO, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Errea to the club. From our first conversations, it was clear how passionate they are about creating great kit and apparel for fans.
"We are excited about the first range we will deliver to our supporters this summer and we look forward to building our offering over the coming seasons. With their innovative production processes, we are able to offer a broader range of bespoke product for supporters stretching into our training wear ranges for the first time in many seasons."
Jon Haile, of Errea Sport UK, added: "Everyone at Errea is really excited and looking forward to partnering with Dunfermline Athletic FC and we are delighted to welcome the club to the Errea family. We would like to congratulate all involved with the club on their Scottish League One title win and promotion to the Championship.
"Dunfermline Athletic is a very ambitious club and has a genuine true sportsmanship culture and philosophy at the heart of the club. They aspire to achieve consistently high levels of performance and we hope to play our part in helping them achieve even more success in the coming years."
Errea produce kit for a large number of clubs in different sports, including English Premier League bound, Sheffield United, and English Football League Championship side, Middlesbrough, and Press Sport understands that it is hoped the new home kit will be unveiled to fans ahead of Dunfermline's friendly with St Pauli on June 23.
Meanwhile, the Pars have also confirmed that their shirt sponsor, SRJ Windows, have also extended their agreement with the club for the season ahead.
It continues a nine-year association between both parties, making it one of the longest-running front of shirt partnerships in Scottish football, and the new kits and training wear will feature a revised logo on the front.
Cook noted: "We are thrilled that SRJ Windows have extended into their ninth year of partnership with the club. Despite last season’s relegation, Keith, Stevie and the team at SRJ have stood shoulder to shoulder with the club and we are delighted that this will continue in to the forthcoming season in the Championship.
"The club are proud to play their part in helping market and communicate such a successful local business story in SRJ Windows – a brand which is synonymous with quality and finish in their field."

"In celebration of the promotion, we felt the time was right to launch our new shirt logo to start the new season. We value the partnership with the club highly, and we firmly believe that a portion of our growth in the last nine years since we moved to our new premises in Rosyth has been helped by our association with DAFC.
