The home, away and alternate jersey will all feature the Wildcats’ eight retired players numbers - Mike Ellis (6), James Crawford (7), the late Scott Fenton (14), Ricky Grace (15), Andrew Vlahov (21), Scott Fisher (30), Shawn Redhage (42) and the most recent addition Damian Martin (53) - across the left-hand side.
The elegant pinstripe design also runs down the side right-hand side of the jersey, adorned with the bold inscription ‘10x Championships’ to showcase the club’s unmatched finals record in the NBL.
Both the home and alternate jerseys will be predominantly red.
The home is red and black, while the alternate features white as its secondary colour in a fresh new look.
The away kit will be a reverse colour design of the home, with the popular black-and-red combo returning for a second straight season.
The Indigenous markings on the back of the jerseys, the work of Wadjuk Noongar artist Kevin Bynder, shows WA - including the Kimberley, Pilbara, South West, Goldfields, Mid West and desert regions - with the surrounding water ways representing the club's 10 championships.
Principal partner MATE, an award-winning internet provider throughout Australia, will again be on the front of the home jersey, with platinum partner - gardening, plumbing and lighting brand Holman Industries - continuing on the front of the away and alternate singlets.
The branding of P&N Bank, HIF Health Insurance and NRW Holdings and also on the jersey, with Rio Tinto, TCD and Holman proudly displayed on the shorts.
The Wildcats will debut their new kits during Friday night’s pre-season opener against NBL1 West Select at Morley Recreation Centre.
You can get yours at Cats Gear Store from Wednesday 4 September, well ahead of the Wildcats’ new campaign which kicks off at HoopsFest against South East Melbourne Phoenix at RAC Arena on Friday 20 September.
