MELBOURNE Heart have revealed their away strip for next season - and it's a River Plate-style white shirt with red sash to add a touch of South America kick to their side.

Heart Chief Executive Officer Scott Munn said: "As a club with traditional football values, we wanted an away jersey which captured the essence of what we are about as an organisation.

"And with the unveiling of our new strip, we are confident we have achieved that, while also introducing a design which is unique to the Hyundai A-League."

The team also announced global recruitment firm Drake International as the club's sleeve sponsor.

Munn believes Drake's partnership will provide a massive boost for the club as it approaches its A-League debut in August.

"Melbourne Heart FC is delighted to have Drake on board as our sleeve sponsor for the next two years, joining the Club as we embark on this exciting journey," he said.

"To have a company of Drake's international standing commit to a significant partnership with Melbourne Heart FC is a huge vote of confidence for the groundwork we have completed over the last eight months."
