Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club will celebrate a decade of partnership with John Pye Auctions on Sunday 7 July, at the Outlaws' Vitality Blast group stage finale against Birmingham Bears at Trent Bridge.
To mark the special anniversary, the Outlaws will play in a commemorative, limited-edition red kit for Sunday's clash. The match-worn shirts will subsequently be signed by the Outlaws squad and auctioned off to raise funds for the Trent Bridge Community Trust, with bidding commencing during the fixture on Sunday.

The Nottingham-based auction house have served as the club's sponsor since 2014, with the John Pye name proudly adoring Nottinghamshire's men's and women's team's shirts. Last year, the East Midlands’ women’s regional team, The Blaze, was also added to the portfolio.
The family-owned national auction house recently signed a partnership extension that will see them continue to support Nottinghamshire and Trent Bridge through to 2028.
Adam Pye, John Pye’s Managing Director, said: “As a proud Nottingham firm, we have always been passionate about supporting local sport and giving back to the community. Our decade of partnership with Trent Bridge and Nottinghamshire has allowed us to do just that while helping us grow our reputation nationally. Trent Bridge provides a stage for fans of all ages to enjoy world-class cricket on home soil, and the values and goals of the Club and players perfectly align with our own.
“The celebrations this month are a fitting tribute to our ten years collaborating and will hopefully raise much-needed funds to support local causes. We’re looking forward to enjoying this special partnership for many years to come while supporting grassroots sport and future generations of world-class cricketers.”
Michael Temple, Nottinghamshire’s Commercial Director, added: “The steadfast support of John Pye Auctions has been hugely significant over the past ten years.
“Their support of our charitable initiatives has been invaluable, and it’s typical of their generosity in that regard that these shirts will be auctioned off in aid of the Trent Bridge Community Trust.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the Outlaws sporting their special-edition shirts as a gesture of thanks, and to our partnership continuing in the years to come.”
