Bolton's kits for the 2023–24 design were voted on by Bolton fans from a choice of three kits for both. The choices for the home kit were between a remade version of the 1983–84 kit, a remade version of the 1993–94 kit, and a third alternate design. The choices for the away kit were from Teal Diamonds, Navy x Hot Pink, and Graphic Black. The 1983–84 and Graphic Black options won the votes.[1][2][3]

Pre-season and friendlies

[edit]

On 26 May 2023, the club announced its first set of pre-season fixtures with trips to Bamber Bridge, Curzon Ashton, Chester and Salford City.[71] Three fixtures were also announced for the B Team on the same day with trips to Lancaster City, Longridge Town and Atherton Collieries.[72] On 8 June, a home friendly against Premier League side Everton was later added.[73] Bolton were due to face 'top-flight' European opposition in their final friendly but the agreement broke down at the last moment despite their best efforts.[74] West Bromwich Albion were confirmed to be the replacement on 12 June.[75]
