FULHAM fans have dubbed the club “Barbie FC” after seeing their new away kit.
The Cottagers officially unveiled their new second strip for the fast-approaching 2023/24 campaign on Tuesday.
The West Londoners’ new strip features a dark pink top with black trimmings and shorts.
Fulham fans were quick to comment on the release of the eye-grabbing strip and couldn’t help but suggest that it was inspired by the release of the Hollywood box office smash Barbie.
One Cottager tweeted: “Barbie’s marketing campaign remains undefeated.”
Another said: “Are we going for the Barbie theme?”

And another said: “Barbie FC.”

One said: “Harry Wilson radiating major Ken-ergy here.”
Another said: “Harry Wilson is Kenough.”
And another said: “So much Kenergy.”
Barbie actress Margot Robbie revealed she was an adopted Fulham fan in 2017.
She said: “I actually haven’t been to another Fulham game for a while, but I know they’re playing tomorrow against Aston Villa.
“And it’s my two best friends – well, it’s my husband and my other best friend Josie. Aston Villa’s Josie’s team, Fulham’s Tom’s team, so they’re going to the game and it’s tense already. I’m on the edge of my seat to see who wins.”
Fulham kick off their Premier League campaign a fortnight on Saturday with a West London derby against Brentford.
They will likely debut their new away kit on September 2 when they travel to the Etihad to take on defending champions Manchester City.
