The club played tribute to sponsors Shepherd Neame who allowed the Trust to replace its Spitfire Ale collar logo on the 2015 shirt.
Kent Cricket CEO Jamie Clifford said: “Kent Cricket and Spitfire Ale is already a fantastic partnership with our respective brands fitting so closely together. This initiative is a very special extension of that partnership.
“I am delighted that Shepherd Neame has very graciously agreed to donate their collar logo on the new shirt to the Trust and share the Club’s desire to remember the sacrifice made over the skies of Kent during the summer of 1940.
“As part of our long-term agreement, the Club also nominates a match annually as the Battle of Britain memorial match to commemorate the bravery of ‘The Few’ in the skies over the fields of Kent.”
The collection at the designated fixture helps to raise funds for The Wing, a new visitor centre at the National Memorial to the Few at Capel-le-Ferne, near Folkestone.
