"I am absolutely delighted to establish this partnership with such an inspiring organisation and charity like Bristol Pride,” Gas Girls secretary Matthew Davies said.
“We've been in discussion with the team at Bristol Pride for a number of months and it was very clear that we all share the same community values and strive to challenge homophobia of any kind in society.
“To donate the front of this shirt to Bristol Pride and to be able to wear their brand is a huge honour and we're really excited by what we're able to achieve by working together in the future.
“I'd also like to thank Bob Seymour from Ahimsa Yoga Bristol who helped us the launch of the kit and shares our values as a club."
Eve Russell, festival director at Bristol Pride, added: "We were so excited when Matt got in touch.
“Sport reaches and connects with so many people of all ages, races, sexes, genders and everything in-between.
“Homophobia is a big problem in sport and this is a very clear message. We wish them all the best with the season ahead and can’t wait to wear the shirts with pride."
It is safe to say the new kit went down well with Gasheads...
