New kit!

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

Available to pre order from 9am on Friday 1st June 2012.

Only seen it from the back, gold collar? Looks like it could be nice...

 

[Penk Wolf]

 

[Bostin]

Are they stripes?!

 

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

There are some feint stripes aren't there...

At least it's not gold and black stripes. I quite like the idea.... (runs for cover)

 

[loopy lupine]

Shadows, not stripes!!

I look slike the old STAW strip from the 80's!!

 

[Matt]

It looks like they've gone down the retro route, could be a good one!

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Are they stripes?!

Just like on the kits in the late 80s/ early 90s by the looks of it.

Look at that green GK kit, proper old skool

 

[Chiswick_Wolf]

Subtle stripes. I like that. Wasn't one of the Staw sponsored shirts of the 80s like that?

The gold collar looks a little strange but unless they've done something atrocious to the front like this season's "naughty child with a marker pen" look - it actually looks like Burrda may not have done all that bad. Also top marks for a proper green goalkeeper's kit. I much prefer those.

That's what it reminds me of!!!! Yes! Hopefully it's quite plain on the front. I wish it was black Good Year! The Wolves head would look quality on that without the hexagon around it, but that ain't gonna happen.

Micky Stowell-esque Black shorts would be better though!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Even from the back it looks a million times better of the $$$$ we have had for the past few years.

STAW Distribution, my first ever Wolves top that was. If the front looks anything like that then i will be well chuffed.

 

[Woffles]

Just like on the kits in the late 80s/ early 90s by the looks of it.

Although we used to have sleeves in those days. How short do the sleeves have to be before a shirt becomes a vest?

 

[loopy lupine]

I might actually buy a full price shirt for the first time in 10 years if the front is as good as the back!

 

[Chiswick_Wolf]

A few examples of similar tops.

 

[LSFwolf]

Why do Burrda make the sleeves really short like a womans top

 

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

If the fronts a sack of $$$$ I'm gonna be so annoyed.

 

[Craddockinho]

Pity it's going to have a big blue and red logo on the front.

Walking billboard.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Micky Stowell-esque Black shorts would be better though!

Those were the days

 

[Woffles]

If the fronts a sack of $$$$ I'm gonna be so annoyed.

Just prepare yourself. Just in case. That's all I'm saying

P.S. Why don't Burrda do sleeves or black on shirts?

 

[bridgnorthwolf]

Looks like the Staw or Manders style shirts, although the Manders stripes were a little thinner IIRC.

I'm undecided. I think that kind of style is best left in the '80's, but will reserve judgement until I see:

A. The Front
B. It in the flesh

 

[SimplyTheWolves]

There's a thin stripe on the shorts so most likely they'll be one on the shirt.

 

[we8wba]

1. i really hope its a v-neck type shirt (not buttons or something else dodgy)

2. agree with sleeves why do they try make it short as possible?

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Oh, and also that image makes a great screensaver. Cheers Penk!

 

[Stratman Wolves]

Just it having a collar makes 10x better than last year's atrocity.

Short sleeves aren't so bad, that's how they wore em back in the day.

 

[Matt]

Will the front be revealed tomorrow? Or are people expected to pre-order it without seeing the whole thing? Seems a bit odd!

 

[Sandwell Wolf]

That looks the absolute dogs whats its.

Potentially the best kit we've had in years, just praying the front is a nice tidy design!

Which day was that? Sure you're not getting mixed up with Aussie rules?

 

[Bostin]

That Staw kit was my first too. It was about 4 sizes too big, but I loved it!

 

[Craddockinho]

Short sleeves?

Two tickets to the gun show.

 

[AussieWolves]

I'm absolutely loving the gold look, finally!!
Drooling at the prospect of buying this one, looks like the scribble marks are on the shorts this year... let's hope they stay there and leave the rest of the shirt simple... would like to see a new Wolves logo though... ditch the bloody hexagon! And change Sportingbet to black!

 

[Penk Wolf]

Hopefully it will have a front like this, but not black.

 

[O.W.E.I]

It looks like a Darts player's shirt from the back, albeit a very thin darter...

 

[cobweb]

Looks like Wolves have given burrda the strip from the late 80's and told them to copy it. About time we had a proper football strip again.

Why would Sportingbet change such a recognisable logo to black just to suit us? I can spot all the sporting bet hoardings sinply due to their stand out colours at European football grounds even though they are spelt differently.

As for the badge once again it's become recognisable and is easily marketable.

It's all common sense really. And I don't even work in advertising.

Granted neither look great but at the end of the day neither are going to change I'm afraid.

Well it would be possible to change it to black if we wanted too, look at all of the other clubs who change sponsor colours to suit club colours.

The badge was mentioned before the start of last season that Jez wanted to look at a new style... left with him that could be a bad thing, but a rebranding company could do something with it... maybe we'll go back to a shield and really go retro with this

Sporting Bet colours on orange TBC
Stupif gimicky badge TBC

Not on your own there mate, was just about to say it would be awesome with a black collar and cuffs.

Have to say though, first impressions are very promising. Please don't mess it up by having an awful design on the front.

And I know I am reading way too much into this, but pleased that the main player in the picture is Kites. Give that man a new contract now!

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Well it would be possible to change it to black if we wanted too, look at all of the other clubs who change sponsor colours to suit club colours. Your wrong as the sporting bet logo is different to other examples as they rely soley on their colours as a stand out as they are not called SportingBet in Spain for example

The badge was mentioned before the start of last season that Jez wanted to look at a new style... left with him that could be a bad thing, but a rebranding company could do something with it... maybe we'll go back to a shield and really go retro with this cant remember anyone at the club saying they were going to look into redesigning the badge but I could be wrong. Anyone got a link?

Hopefully it will have a front like this, but not black.

Quality kit, I'd love that as an away kit, with gold replacing the yellow and a home one with the colours reversed.

 

[Craddockinho]

Pity we're not sponsored by betfair really!
