Fletcher Sports is reflecting the Bailiwick's recent team spirit with a new challenge, encouraging people in the island to come up with a design for a 'Team Guernsey' kit.
The winning design will be printed on t-shirts - when lockdown restrictions are lifted - and sold to the public, with all profits going to support frontline healthcare workers.
"The island has come together in so many ways this past few weeks," a spokesperson for the company said.
"From groups forming quickly to provide essential deliveries to the elderly and vulnerable, to individuals setting up their own fundraising initiatives and islanders volunteering to help the healthcare professionals, the community spirit has been palpable. It's true to say that there has rarely been a more appropriate hashtag than #GuernseyTogether and we are proud to be part of our island community.

"We felt we wanted to do our bit and, as specialists in the production of team-wear, we came up with an idea to reflect the team spirit that has emerged.
"All the best teams have a kit and we, as an island community, are a great team."
The challenge has no age limit or categories and is open to everyone. Designs can be sent to info@fletchersports.co.uk and all entries should be in by 18 April.
"Guernsey has a big heart," added the spokesperson, "let's wear it on our sleeves."
