Is it just me but does anyone else agree how superb our gold and black looks this season.

Under the floodlights the colours really stand out and the design is perfect.

There are no other team colours better than ours in English football imo.

It's noticeable how the lights and the quality of the cameras can change how it appears. For the first team it's looks great under the lights, whereas watching the under-23s on YouTube it looks a lot more yellow.

That strip Man United played in yesterday looked awful.

Awful design and the players looked like scruffs!

Not so sure about the scruffs .... but I am in full agreement with their strip, it is pretty awful and awfully pretty, more like a little girl's party dress (in fact a bit ott for my daughter from what I can recall)! :grinning:

Ok maybe not all of them looked like scruffs GO.

But Fernandes did!

Admittedly it is pretty awful but looked slightly better at Molineux earlier this season when paired with blue shorts instead of white yesterday.

Everyone has their own take on what shade of gold we should wear so I'm going to go against the general feel of this thread so far and say for me it is too light. Maybe it's because I started supporting in the 80s but I think it should be slightly darker - ideally the shade of the Nutmeg shirts in the 90s.

I would like it slightly darker too. A shade too yellow for me. Still good though.

I have always been so glad that the club colours are not run of the mill red or blue. We have our own very specific identity and I like the current version of our strip and the version in the first season after we go promoted.

The second Nutmeg shirt is an absolute classic, the quality is superb. Mine is still almost mint 25+ years on and I’ve been wearing it for fishing for the last 15!

One of the things I have always loved about Wolves is the kit. @MotorWoden has it spot on above - who the hell wants to support a team that plays in red or blue? And so many of the kits this year (see Man United yesterday) are just 'leisurewear.'

Can you seriously imagine supporting Man United and seeing slabhead slouching off the pitch wearing what looks like a **** pyjama top his auntie gave him?

Nutmeg got the colour spot on.

The first Nutmeg shirt was actually the seasons before in house "Molineux" shirt rebranded. So you could say the club got the colour spot in before ruining it all by signing with Puma for that wolf head shirt.

Thought it looked good on MOTD this morning, but in person it does look too yellow for me. Can’t even say it’s grown on me, every time I see it, I still instantly think Cambridge United.

The Nutmeg kits will never be topped for me.

Black collar, the crest, Goodyear. The away kit using the exact same template as the home.

Everyone’s idea of old gold seems to align with the generation they grew up in. Weird that!

If you actually look at our history and take a trip to the club museum, historically the lighter shade has dominated our kits over the longest periods. Especially in the early years. The recent colours are closer to our roots than anything in recent history.

agree, we seemed to move away from the famous old gold, went to orange, then a yellow (Watford), but now getting back to old gold, but as you say it still needs to be darker, glad to see the all white away kit back,

the worst kit was when we had the yellow/gold shorts as well, looked terrible to me anyway

Even the gold that Puma shirts had the following season was a good gold though. After that the **** gold colors came in and we were orange by time we went to Cardiff.

Agree about the gold shorts, I don't like them and I am pleased we don't seem to wear them anymore when there is a dark colour short clash with the opposition.
