Forfar Athletic - New Home and Away Shirt Sponsors for 2026/27
[Thursday, 18 June 2026 23:09]
Following many years of valued support from Orchard Timber Products as the club’s main shirt sponsor, which came to an end at the conclusion of the recent season, an exciting opportunity arose to become the club’s first team kit main sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign.
This marked a landmark moment for the club, as it is the first time in more than 20 seasons that this prestigious sponsorship position has become available, giving local businesses the opportunity to be featured as a main club sponsor.
We are delighted to announce that, following a successful sponsorship prize draw which attracted entries from a number of local businesses, the club will welcome not one but two new shirt sponsors for the upcoming season.
Home Shirt Sponsor – McLaren Bakers
We are pleased to announce McLaren Bakers as our new home shirt sponsor.
Established in 1893, with premises in Forfar and Kirriemuir, James McLaren & Son combines a proud baking tradition with the production of the famous Forfar Bridie, alongside a wide range of other delicacies available from their shop just a stone’s throw from Station Park.
Away Shirt Sponsor – Lee Hutcheon Painter & Decorators
We are also delighted to announce Lee Hutcheon Painter & Decorators as our new away shirt sponsor.
Lee is no stranger to success in club raffles, having previously won the shorts sponsorship draw several seasons ago. His good fortune continues, with his company logo now set to feature on the club’s away shirt for the coming season.
A loyal supporter of the club, Lee regularly contributes to events and fundraising initiatives. Based in Forfar, Lee and his team undertake all aspects of painting and decorating work, covering new-build developments, private homes and commercial properties.
We look forward to unveiling our new home kit in the coming weeks, proudly displaying the McLaren Bakers name, while the existing away kit will feature the Lee Hutcheon Painter & Decorators logo.
The club would also like to place on record its sincere thanks to all the local businesses that entered the prize draw and once again demonstrated their support through this new initiative.
Any local business interested in learning more about the club’s sponsorship opportunities for the coming season, including first-team training kit sponsorship, management team kit sponsorship and a range of other packages, is encouraged to contact Club Director John Milne at:
