Several hundred excited fans attended the unveiling of the new Olhanense kit at Ria Shopping, Olhão last week.
The slick presentation was led by Olhanense mascot Moss the Stork, who strutted the catwalk with players and coaching staff as they modelled new outfits produced by Lacatoni.
The home kit of red and black stripes has a fashionable red flash running from shoulder to shoulder.
The loudest cheer of the night was reserved for the popular Djalmir, top scorer last season.
It is hoped the clothing will be available to the general public in the next couple of weeks.
SQUAD TAKING SHAPE
Manager Daúto Faquirá is pleased with his squad after their training camp at Montechoro.
New additions include the highly rated midfield player Nuno Piloto (ex-Iraklis, Greece) and Dutch defender Kelvin Maynard (ex-Volendam, Holland) who have signed two-year contracts.
The Brazilian defender Jardel (ex-Estoril) has penned a twelve month deal.
As the Algarve Resident went to press on Wednesday, Olhanense were playing Farense while tomorrow night (Saturday) Olhanense take on Portimonense at the São Luis Stadium, Faro (behind the hospital), kick-off 8pm.
Next weekend, the team participates in the Centenary Tournament of V.Setúbal together with Portimonense.
The three towns – Setúbal, Olhão and Portimão – share a common bond of having been major players in the fishing industry.
