Badshot Lea FC unveil new kit for remaining games of 2014-15 season. Featuring WiFi connectivity to allow real-time voice communication between the dugout, and players - and monitoring cells sewn into shirts and shorts, that transmit data to a laptop. Allowing team management to see which players need a drink of water, who has not completed their target of crosses, tackles or headers; and who needs halftime or fulltime treatment. The most popular innovation with management is inbuilt socktape, that removes the need to buy rolls of the stuff - especially when the available colour shades fail to meet strict match official criteria.
"We are the first club to use this new and innovative kit" said a club spokesman."We also ordered a self-washing version, with a sock tracking feature, so we will never have an odd set again. That's delivered in next years version". Italian kit manufacturer Fir-Apollo preferred to launch their new product with a non-league club. "We discussed the kit with several Premier League clubs, but decided to go with The Baggies because they need a better range of shirt sizes" said Bernardo Cazzata, VP Sales.
