The Black Cats face Crewe Alexandra at home on Saturday afternoon and wearing their away kits will be one of a number of ways in which they will encourage supporters to support the Disaster Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian appeal.

The shirts will be signed by the players and then raffled to supporters, with all proceeds going towards the appeal.
