Designer: Nike

Sponsor: Severfield Rowen

ballinamallard fc crestBallinamallard is a village near Eniskillen in County Fermanagh. United were formed in 1975 and appear in the top tier for the first time after clinching the IFA Championship title with 12 points to spare, replacing Carrick Rangers who were relegated. The club appears to be trying to generate as much revenue as possible from kit sponsorship (there are more logos on the back.)

They are known as "the Ducks." Oh yes.
