Black Socks

[Brixton Wanderer]

Anyone know why we’re not wearing the official socks?

 

[Ernie the Wolf]

Hope they continue, really like them.

 

[JH1902]

I've seen on Twitter that the players were complaining about how tight the socks were. There was a young lad at Leicester wearing them and he complained about them too.

I never noticed but apparently when they wore them some of them had cut the front of them because they were that tight.

I'd rather have gold socks or hoops.

 

[Stoichkov]

amazing this hasn't been sorted.

also - while we're on the topic of daft small things which kind of don't matter but do matter - i thought Bruno looked like he was wearing a cast-off old tracky from TK Maxx on Saturday, no club branding or anything

It was the same with Nuno and his cheapo adidas overcoat last season

i guess whilst Fosun run a mega tight ship, they'd say it doesn't really matter..... i just happen to think it really does, perception matters. Things can be done on a tight budget, they just need to be done well with attention to detail

perhaps indicative of where we are with Fosun, and where they are right now. Jeff says don't doubt us, but things do feel 'frayed'

I actually looked for the coat Nuno wore last season as I quite liked it and they're like £300. Agree about Bruno's tracky top though.

Doubt its down to fosun finances as to why bruno was not in a branded track suit. The players seem to have about 10 different variations of training and match day gear so an extra track suit for bruno wouldnt be an issue.

Already being discussed on the Castore thread...

Castore

Anyone found out why were wearing black socks? I've been told... The players hate the socks... Gold ones are way too tight.....requested new ones off castore..

Apparently the official ones were stupidly tight....

Not being rude but hooped socks can be stuck where the sun doesn't shine...

Sorry @ricki herberts moustache....

Given how managers rightly don't like being told what to do from above, how well do you think it would go down if they told him what coat to wear?!

the nature of the relationship with Castore will lead to the variety of items available to Bruno.

Nuno wore that coat (perhaps he actually had several) so much that l'm amazed that it wasn't grafted to his back hence requiring surgical removal, lol...

Edited to add: probably either given back to the club or in a charity shop somewhere in the Wolvo area....

well he's going to enjoy our transfer policy then......

 

[Wenlock Wolf]

This has been puzzling me too!!! Hadn't seen anything to explain it (gold socks with black Wolf logo on front in launch photos, but plain black in matches) ... now I understand!

Wonder if we'll stick with the black ones once the size/stretch problem is resolved?

Thanks for posting about it, I thought I was going mad!!

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Nuno has clearly been given a stylist at Spurs. Looked very dapper. I bet his image has been curated by the club. Looked like Pep in his fancy bomber.

Being part of a team who decides on transfers is completely common in modern football.

Being treated like a child who is told precisely which coat you should wear, is not.

Just being anywhere near his missus would have been a big start, at least judging by how mine behaves if she thinks that l need a shave/haircut....

I love the statue. The socks can stay in the 1950s...

To date, without a doubt. In the future? Hope says not but realism....

If this is true then Castore aren't doing too well in sorting it out. They've had since the Crewe game which was the only time we wore them. The black socks have no branding at all so I guess they've just.been purchased from the local market. I see that the women's team had no problem wearing the gold socks yesterday though.

 

[GY Wolf]

Slightly off topic but are we getting a 3rd kit?

 

[WickedWolfie]

Actually if hope says that the future will be better than the past then realism says that it likely won't. Perhaps a few too many double negatives, as l think that we actually agree.

jesus, it was just a comment that he looked scruffy in the plain grey castore tracky top with no wolves branding, and i wondered why he hadn't been provided with something better - he wore the white one when travelling to marbella, for example. not saying if he's been told to wear anything!!!

I think, with precious little going on, too many people (including me doubtless) are over-thinking everything.

Yep my other half wanted the coat and duly paid the necessary. It's actually a really good quality down-feather coat....not sure why anyone would think it's cheapo!

 

[Tonesterwolf]

As the away socks are exactly the same design but in grey (.I presume the same material) I wonder if black socks will be worn with the away kit as well.

I ware fantastic black Nike socks when I reff also purple and white with my yellow or gold or red boots the socks are self fitting stay up themselves right over my knee love um .

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

Hope they continue, really like them.

I also hope they continue with the black socks as they don't clash so much with the players multi coloured boots these days

Sorry @ricki herberts moustache....

The sun doesn't shine much in England from what I hear so i say bring back the hooped socks

 

[Green Wolf]

What happened to them? It's bad enough we play in yellow these days without playing in black socks, too.
I thought the socks were yellow this year?

See thread “black socks”!

 

[sheffwolf]

Rumour that some players have complained that the gold socks are too tight and restrictive so they are wearing black ones until Castore can sort some new gold ones.

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Hope they continue, really like them.

Agreed, they look classy and much better than the gold ones.

Yeah its white looks nice, someone on twitter had managed to buy one this week before the club have even announced it haha.

Maybe if Bruno's tracksuit was a smaller size it may help.

Nuno looked great.

He always does.
