From old gold to Mexican green, Wolves’ standout shirts revisited | OneFootball

With Wolves unveiling a striking 150th anniversary strip, here is a look at standout shirts from across their history.

As reported by ExpressAndStar.com, the selection ranges from timeless old gold to a Mexican-inspired green third kit.

The Tatung-sponsored 1982/83 home and away featured distinctive pinstripes, old gold with a black V-neck and a white change with subtle black lines. Wolves finished runners-up in the Second Division, sealing an immediate return to the First Division.

Umbro’s old gold shirt used in the 1980 League Cup final, with black detailing, a V-neck and the circular wolf-head crest, became iconic. It was worn in the 1-0 Wembley win over Nottingham Forest, decided by Andy Gray’s second-half strike.

The famed tyre mark home and blue away of 1992/93 caught the eye. Wolves began with a 12-match unbeaten league run, their best start since 1949/50, and finished 11th in the First Division for a second successive season.

A year on, the Wolverhampton city coat of arms returned, a feature that also appears on the 150th anniversary kit. Paired with Goodyear, a black collar and sleeve trim, it remains a fans’ favourite.

Admiral’s kits, backed by Doritos between 2002 and 2004, were unmistakable. The sponsor became synonymous with the period as Wolves won promotion to the Premier League.

Le Coq Sportif delivered a lesson in simplicity in 2009/10. Supporters still wear it, and Wolves retained Premier League status under Mick McCarthy.

A clean classic from 1974/75 was worn as Wolves defeated Manchester City in the League Cup final. It remains warmly remembered.

For the 2019/20 Europa League, adidas produced a green third shirt with a sublimated hoop pattern and red accents on shoulder stripes, collar and cuffs. Opinions were split, yet its distinctiveness endures.
