Southend United have confirmed their upcoming home fixture will be a Retro Shirt Day. The club has designated the match against Barrow on Saturday, 26 September, as an occasion for supporters to wear classic kits from years gone by.
It is a home game for Southend, who are looking to build on their strong start to the season. They currently sit second in the National League, just three points behind leaders Boreham Wood with 20 points from nine games.
The announcement comes as the team enjoys a two-game winning streak. Their last result was a stunning 6-1 away victory at Gateshead, where Sam Austin scored a hat-trick and Harry Cardwell netted twice. That result followed a 3-1 home win over Tamworth. The club hopes the retro-themed atmosphere will provide a boost as they aim to close the gap at the top.
Barrow, the visitors, are currently 17th in the table. The full list of upcoming games, including this one, is available on the fixtures page. Southend will be without several key players due to injury, with the latest squad news always listed under injuries.
