While the Bristol Vet Hockey Team might have been used to getting up close to cattle as part of their university course, they might not have banked on adopting the same unique pattern as the animals they were looking after.

That was until a new sponsorship deal with Farm Vets was announced for the 2021/2022 season, providing the team with a new livery in the form of cow print hockey shirts.

Having a new kit has not only marked out the team as Vets in amongst the other faculties they have to play during the season, but also provided them with a new formidable look that is bound to turn heads on the hockey pitch.

Aimee Hutcheson, who plays for the Bristol Vet Hockey Team as left midfielder, said: “The team is very happy with its sponsorship by IVC Evidensia Farm Vets this year, which has allowed us to get in a lot of much needed training, improve our playing style and win more matches this year. The IVC Evidensia Farm Vets brand also fit perfectly with our cow print kit design, making us very distinctive when we’re out playing the other faculty teams.”

Paul Horwood, who is one of three Group Veterinary Advisors for Farm, commented: “It’s fantastic to see the Farm Vets brand from IVC Evidensia featuring so prominently on one of our local team’s shirts, especially with the cow print kit design. This sponsorship underlines our ongoing support for Farm Vet graduates as they take their next steps towards a successful career. I wish the best of luck to the team for the remainder of the season.”
