Hull City looked good in their new adidas kit, sponsored by totesport.com, on Wednesday evening when they comfortably beat North Ferriby 6-0 in a pre-season friendly.
The club are confident the new kit will be worn to success as they look to immediately bounce back and return to the Premier League after relegation last season.
Hull have seen a few changes ahead of the new campaign with Nigel Pearson coming in as new manager, Adidas as a new kit manufacturer and a few different faces in the playing squad, but totesport’s support remains.
The bookmaker has continued its sponsorship of the Tigers as they go into the second year of the two-year deal with the club and is offering fans a tempting 16/1 about them topping the table.
The Tigers have had a strong start to preparations ahead of their new life in the Championship after beating Winterton Rangers 2-1 and romping home to beat North Ferriby.
Goals from Peter Halmosi, Mark Cullen, Daniel Cousin, Will Atkinson, Danny Emerton and new signing Noberto Solano secured the win over the Northern Premier League Division One side.
Solano joined City after playing for Leicester last season under Pearson and will add some experience to a side which is looking to blood some young players in the Championship.
The former Aston Villa and Newcastle United winger will join up with Premier League veteran Nicky Barmby who will be looking to feature in Pearson’s plans this season.
Barmby played alongside his new manager when the pair were at Middlesbrough and the 36-year-old believes the new Tigers boss will do well at the KC Stadium.
He said: “You can tell certain players are going to stay on in the game and become a manager and Nige was one of those characters.
“I still have a lot of desire to be involved in the first team but with the young lads there is a lot of fulfilment there and I’m really enjoying it,” he added.
The Yorkshire side will face a tough challenge as they look to return to the top flight in a Championship division with plenty of strong-looking squads.
Hull will also have some juicing Yorkshire derbies, with Leeds United, Sheffield United, Doncaster Rovers and Barnsley all looking to have successful seasons.
