Last updated : 26 January 2009 By Andy Van Hagen

Leicester City fans have decided they will leave their home shirts blank as part of their 125th anniversary celebrations next season following an online poll for supporters.

The plain option, free of corporte advertising was voted by 65% of 20,000 fans.

Chairman Milan Mandaric told the club website: "The fans have voted and we have listened to them.

"This was the overwhelming choice by our supporters - it will be a totally iconic and unique shirt that is fitting for our 125th anniversary."

Rival football fans tried to vote Forever Foxes and Blue Army trying to make teh 125 celebration vote as embarrassing as possible but the clean design stormed to victory.

The options they considered are available to view at:
