What shirt colour do you want?

[scrufftyguy]

There’s been a lot of discussion recently on shirt colours and “old gold” so thought it’d be interesting to see what shirt colour people would most like to see us in.

This isn’t about “what colour is old gold?” or “which shirt colour did you like best?” it’s trying to see what colour shirt everyone would like to see us in for say the next 5-10 years. I’ve pulled a few colours from old shirts and also added a new one similar to that seen on some of the Arsenal away kits and several American Football shirts.

I know the colours will look slightly different depending on what phone/monitor that you’re viewing on but hopefully it’ll give a good indication of what fans want. Hopefully Fosun will run a similar poll, it’d be really easy to do either at Molineux or/and online.

If you don’t like any of them pick the one you’d find least offensive.

Ha ha, I know there haven't been many votes yet - but you can see why we will never agree!

It’s a 2 for me.

I'd rather see the colours on a shirt. We recently picked our kitchen colour based on a small square like this and got it completely wrong

I know what you mean but I don’t have the photoshop skills for that! I’m sure if Wolves did run a poll (which I really hope they do) they’d do it considerably better than I have.

This gold.

This is a great and really important post, I hope the club see it

Thank you scruffy (aka Laurie D)

This gold.

That's black?

Basically just illustrates how many variations on a theme can be had. And I'm no wizard on photoshop. Far left is our current colour.

Non-starter mate.

Everybody's screen is different, like really different!

Printed Pantone book is the only way you can chose

True and on my screen 2 and 5 look best.

2 looks canary yellow on my screen

 

[Tring Wolf]

Something like the STAW 1988 kit or the 1993/94 kit (the one with the Crest as the badge).

So whichever is closest to that

Proving you need a new screen.

I don't know why No. 6 isn't getting any love. That's the one that's closest to what Gold should look like. As I explained in another thread, "old" gold means zilch.

Bodes well doesn't it considering I'm a designer creating colourful visuals for our company marketing material and website!

PINK.....real men wear pink

'Old Gold 15-0955' is actually a Pantone colour but it's actually quite yellow. I suspect the colour most people would like is actually not old gold at all.

LOL! Hope they don't read this forum...
or maybe they should?

Agreed. They think old gold is the "coppery" one. WRONG!!

God no, it's bad enough they clocked me on the front of the Daily Mail at the Euros!

 

[Guzeppi]

Funnily enough, and yes, I'm not the first one to say, the only kit which I found to be totally on the mark was the Arsenal Away kit. Lovely gold. This was already mentioned ad nauseum last year, so I won't even bother to look up the pic.

Yeah I understand this but it’s really only getting a rough gauge of opinion. I compared three different screens and there wasn’t a massive difference between them so hopefully it will still give some kind of representation of what people like.

 

[Chiswick_Wolf]

Whilst I think there's definitely going to be a difference of opinion on the specific colour we should go with, the poll at least shows clearly the colours we don't want. No to orange. No to brown-gold.

For me it seems there are basically three camps, each lining up behind the shirts from different eras: 1950s Old Gold, 1970s Yellow Gold and 1990s Traditional Gold.

This gold.

its blue (cough,cough)

Oops sorry mate, are you still in work now?

Me neither. I voted for 1 or 6.
But I do still like the colour of the old, STAW shirt.

i posted the swatch for it here - https://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/index.php?threads/old-gold-please-fosun.200602/page-2#post-5228653

Somewhere around between 2 and 5 and never gold foil 6

Depends on your screen.

 

[KiwiWolf]

Just make it the colour that super William Ambrose Wright used to wear and that'll be fine by me!

A debate done over and over again no doubt. It would be good to have a conclusion that involves the fans and is then adhered to going forward. I've got a Pantone book right in front of me here and I feel 'old gold' is too yellow but a vote would sort it out and would show once again the club have their finger on the pulse. Obviously it would need to be printed samples and an in person vote, not online.

For me it seems there are basically three camps, each lining up behind the shirts from different eras: 1950s Old Gold, 1970s Yellow Gold and 1990s Traditional Gold.

Interestingly, the 1950s showed the greatest variation in shirt colour. Early 50s was the dull-brown "Old Gold" (which I assume was sampled for the early 2000s shirt) whereas late 50s was a much lighter colour (look at photos of the 1949 and 1960 FA Cup teams even in black and white to show just how much lighter the shirts became). Inbetween were lighter shades worn in the 1950s on darker afternoons and the satin light shirts used for the floodlit friendly matches and you have quite a range.

For me, our shirts are the shade Andy Gray scored in at Wembley or the late 80s Manders Shirt, or the mid-90s Nutmeg shirt. Aaargh.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Mmm, I have a pair of velvet cushions my mum made in the 70's that are the right colour.

I personally prefer more yellow to orange or brown, but even with a pantone book it would be impossible as it will look different dependent on the material and how much sheen it has, the way the material and finish interact with (absorb or reflect) light can change the tone considerably.

Overall, imo just no stripes or pin stripes.

 

[wildfire_wolf]

Being colourblind I'll sit this one out

 

[wolvesaywe]

However the colours look on various screens this poll just highlights that those screaming for one colour or another are not speaking for the majority of the fanbase.

Yellow, orange, gold or old gold - somebody will be happy, somebody will be royally ****ed off.

 

[Deleted member 6526]

Getting a bit fed up with the fashion police threads, I rank it about 18th on my top ten Wolves subjects of interest.

 

[MonkeySpanner]

I voted 6. It’s the closest to a gold I would like to see and I’m pretty sure that’s the New Orleans Saints colour which I like.

Then why bother going on a thread called “what shirt colour do you want?”, just ignore it.

 

[bod101]

just stay away from the awful dirty and dull shades.
