Gold shorts

[Wolf in Wednesbury]

Worth a try ... always seem to win in them ... unless I’m remembering incorrectly

I’m clutching at straws

 

[Immigration wolf]

God .. no!
Never.
You’ll be wanting hooped socks next

Worked for Kylie...

Really not sure about the 'gold' shorts, but some of those players in their prime would still be handy for us now.

I used to like the all gold kit, and didn't we use to wear the gold shorts when our black shorts caused a clash of colours in away games.

 

[Saltyjim]

Wore them the last 2 seasons at Tottenham I think.

 

[Ponty]

God .. no!
Never.

Absolutely. Hooped socks saw us end up in the 4th tier!

The all gold kit is our most beautiful

I imagine that might have been an issue when our games were televised back in the era of black and white TV, but I really doubt it's considered an issue in this day and age that both teams happen to wear black shorts when a game is televised, still less 'live' in the stadium.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I could be wrong, (I usually am), but I seem to recall us wearing gold shorts at Portsmouth a few years back. Can't think why as there was no colour clash at all.

I seem to remember seeing us wearing gold shorts on a limited number of occasions in the last ten years. Can't remember exactly when or why though.

 

[those were the days]

Maybe we should just go nuclear and play in the third kit.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Yes. Gold shorts all the way. Great memories of beating Spurs at Wembley and Bully getting four at Newcastle and a hat-trick away at Derby.

 

[WW1963]

Agree.

 

[Wolf in Wednesbury]

Newcastle away with Doc’s injury time winner was all gold I think?

So we agree ... all gold for the win

Someone get in touch with the club ... and quick

 

[Wolf in Wednesbury]

Even the mere mention of gold shorts did the trick

Just imagine if we played in them

 

[WV10Wolf]

Didn’t John De Wolf score his hat-trick on gold shorts?

There was too much mud about, could have the entire team naked that day ;-)

 

[Golden Arrow]

I like the gold shorts and hope we keep them when required, but traditionally I think its the black shorts for me.

Has there ever been an occasion when we've worn white shorts with the gold top ?
Can't think why for a minute although our second strip was all white many moons ago.

That infamous Chorley defeat!

Crikey, how could I forget !!!!

I wonder what brought that about, white shorts I mean.

My favourite gold shorts...

Not so keen on Wolves playing on them though.

Blimey, is that Kylie per chance ?

 

[Golden Arrow]

Does anyone else remember a Ripping Yarns episode called "Golden Gordon" where a player at the start of a training session complains to the trainer that a teamate has nicked his shorts.

The trainer goes off on one about shorts not being important and that its what's inside that matters (referring to the legs).

To quote the trainer: "I didn't come on a free transfer from Walsall to stand and watch a bunch of morons arguing about shorts"

It's really worth a watch and very funny if I say so myself.

 

[Minimalist]

I've seen us play in gold shirts and RED shorts!

 

[Stratman Wolves]

We haven't really worn gold shorts much in the Adidas era

 

[Golden Arrow]

I've seen us play in gold shirts and RED shorts!

Wow, that's bizarre !

Did the kit man forget to pack them or was it during our nightmare days when we couldn't afford a pot to **** in ?

I think it is because in the championship if two teams shorts clash the away team has to have an alternative. But in the Premier league they don't mind if teams have similar/same coloured shorts.

Actually we must have had our away shirts on because I remember it was away at Oxford.
We only had the one kit with us and the ref decided the shorts clashed so we had to wear Oxfords away kit shorts!

Don't know if it was the same game, but I do remember on one occasion being in the open "Cuckoo Lane" end and getting absolutely drenched.

 

[Houston Lobo]

The black shirt with gold shorts & socks last season was a thing of beauty.

Besiktas away I think it was. Also maybe during the PL Trophy too.

 

[WickedWolfie]

It is indeed! Once seen not forgotten!

I remember in the late 60s when we went to gold shorts for a few seasons. It was around the same time that Liverpool and Chelsea went to red and blue shorts respectively. Obviously both have stuck with those and I've always liked the Chelsea colours especially with the white socks. The all-gold was quite novel at the time but personally I'm pleased we went back to the black shorts.

I'd forgotten that both Liverpool and Chelsea ha previously worn white shorts so that's an interesting fact.

Back in the late 60's, a Chelsea friend of mine had a blue strip for Christmas (well before replicas came along), and he had his Mum sow a white stripe down the sides of the shorts.

I also remember having yellow shirt, shorts and socks from a local sports outfitters which was the nearest I came to the real thing.
Playing in the outfield I was always "Peter Knowles", and when I went in goal, I wore my black tracksuit top and became "Alan Boswell".

Strange to me how many mixers like the gold shorts.
I’ve never liked them, and my recollection is that we’ve never done well wearing them! So there.
I also like the hooped socks. Iconic.

 

[Saltyjim]

Remember us wearing sky blue shorts at Derby once. Didn't go well with the old gold shirts.

Yuk...

 

[Golden Arrow]

My Wolves Subbuteo team had gold shorts until I went and painted them, so that strip must have been around for a short while at least.
