THE Bulls are to mark Armed Forces Day with a special edition commemorative shirt which will be worn by Jimmy Lowes' men in next month's home clash with Batley.

Featuring a bespoke camouflage design, the shirt has been designed to celebrate the Birch Lane Heroes, while raising funds to support the Royal British Legion.

The Birch Lane Heroes, a Heritage Lottery-funded project being undertaken by the Bradford Bulls Foundation, is working to reveal the names of former Bradford Northern stars who lost their lives during World War I.

The kit features the club's traditional red, amber and black colours and a poppy, incorporating all things Army and Bulls in a contemporary twist, and aims to pay tribute to all men and women currently risking their lives across the globe for our country.

Just 250 of the one-off jerseys have been produced, in adult sizes small to 5XL, and supporters can order them now, with £10 from every shirt being donated to the Royal British Legion.

The Bulls say the launch demonstrates a growing relationship between the club and the Armed Forces, following on from Lowes' squad's pre-season trip to Carver Barracks and the Royal Engineers' recent visit.

Shirts cost £44.99 and are available from the Provident Stadium's Team Shop from Monday to Saturday, 9am until 5pm.

Lowes' men will enter battle with Batley during Armed Forces Weekend on Sunday, June 28 wearing the special edition shirt.
