New kits for the North Wales Dragons
Pen and Ink Studios are very pleased to reveal the new North Wales Dragons kit for the 22/24 seasons. The community football side that raises funds and awareness for multiple causes through out the year revealed in a blog post that the new kit would be absolutely nothing like any of their old kits.
Replacing what had become the traditional green and white of the Dragons has been replaced with a night sky fade of purple to black but teamed with somethings a little different and fans of a certain band may recognize it! Originally appearing on the cover of the Smoke and Mirrors album by multi award winning band Imagine Dragons, they were given special permission by the band and by the wonderful artist Tim Cantor who designed the Sparrow, to use on the kit. The Sparrow representing the Tyler Robinson foundation is then connected with four separate ribbons that show the colours of Hope House.

The Dragons went on to say "With this kit comes a continued and much stronger partnership with the Las Vegas based Tyler Robinson Foundation and our local charity Ty-Gobaith. The partnership between the two charities has grown ever stronger since 2019 when the Dragons helped in connecting the two. The Tyler Robinson Foundation (TRF), is a non-profit organization of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Imagine Dragons dedicated to supporting children battling childhood cancer while Hope House/ Ty Gobaith makes sure that no family faces the death of their child alone, supporting over 750 families who are either caring for a terminally ill child or whose child has passed away. We are very proud to carry both charities on our back."

Partnerships from the previous shirt agreed to continue for the upcoming seasons which saw Wales and West Housing take up the main partner spot. They manage more than 12,000 high quality, affordable homes in 15 local authority areas across Wales. These include more than 3,000 dedicated properties for older people as well as innovative supported housing solutions for people with a range of particular needs.

A partnership with the Resuscitation Council of the UK will see the Dragons continue to carry their guide in what to do in case of cardiac arrest on the left sleeve. Quite possibly one of the only football teams in the world to carry such valuable information.
