New Wolves 2009/10 Home and Away kit in “not terrible” shocker, while the close-season Chin-Wagging begins in earnest.
By: Toby | April 30th, 2009
There are very few kits these days that inspire more than a shrug of the shoulders so these are no different. Changed enough to merrit rinsing a few more coffers from the loyal Shirt buying fan and incorperating our quite souless new sponser. The away shirt is a practicality passed off as a nod to the past, we need an away kit which is more contrasted than our current as the majority of sides in the Prem play in reddish colours. Oh I don’t know, I won’t be getting one, but that’s not saying much, I’ve never been a fan of shirts really? Elsewhere, it’s award season and back slapping time at Molineux with Sam Vokes winning the Young Professional Of The Year Award, Ebanks Blake scooping both Top Goal Scorer and Player’s Player of the Season. Andy Keogh gets a nod for Goal of the Season, with his opener against Derby in the recent 3-2, while it’s Kevin Foley who picks up the fan’s player of the year award. Well done all round lads.
Is it me or do our kits get more orange by the season?

Red & White is tribute to original strip of 19c. Spent years being proud of our original Old Gold – and we’ve joined the masses. Home shirt is copy of 50’s shirt take away sponsor and it is ok but yes more orange than Old Gold. Away shirt is just a gimmick and very bland could be anyone. Overall Disappointed

Fair play (before I get slated) red and white has its origins but it still means nothing to me. Wolves away was always plain white with some green mixed in if anything…

The kit’s not much to shout about but the sponsor’s logo is appalling. Looks like something my kids knock up on WordArt.

Sooner we get out of deal with Le Coq Sportif the better, they are hopeless at designing kets (says he who purchased this year’s). Back to the ‘Molineux’ home brand anyone?

Solongarcitect – did you see the video they produced to launch the sponsorship? I think Toby might have posted it here. If not it’s on the Wolves site… they are fairly ‘fromage’ all round. However, fair play to them for coming on board.

Toby – As our resident wordsmith, I’m sure you’d have preferred to stick with Chaucer but at least Sportingbet is a step up the food chain from those not so savory snacks, Doritos. The (awful) away kit reminds me of a Bundasliga team – but I can’t think which one. Have a good weekend from a still sunny Scandinavia. ENJOY THE DAY TOMORROW BUT PLS. STAY OFF THE ####ing PITCH.

If the add was in black the home shirt would be fine and were playing on Sunday Rob(I agree with staying off the pitch), also it’s not fuckin orange it’s Old Gold. I think that kit’s a wind up anyway.

THE KITS ARE FUKING SHIT GET RID OF THEM AND STAY WITH THE OLD ONES. THE HOME 1 IS SHIT AND THE AWAY 1 LOOKS LIKE WASALL FC AWAY SHIRT. THE MAN UTD NEW SHIRT IS BETA THAN THEM.

dboy – yeah, I saw the vid. Not great. But like you say, it’s a good deal for the club. Just wish it wasn’t all so tacky looking. At least the Chaucer thing looked quite dignified.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see a big club follow Barcelona’s lead and do something honourable. (Well, some things would give me greater pleasure, but you take my point.) Will never happen but in my ideal football world all clubs would advertise a local worthy cause on their shirts. Perhaps a different one every season.

@rob – reminds me of energie cottbus (no comment)
@jamilla – couldn’t have put it better, lets face it the away kit is shit, like they picked it out of a cataloguewe’ve got the best colours and logo of any club so why can’t we just have a quality strip?

bit disappointed tbh but it’s not god awful I suppose. I’ll prob buy the home top for matches and memory but I’ll keep wearing my signed Steve bull memorial top for general use. Old gold with 9 and Bull on the back and signed by the man himself. Why don’t they do that, have the signatures of the past greats under their old number. Might make players realise who went before and what they mean to the team and the fans!!
p.s. iPhones are brilliant for when you are out shopping with the gf. Everyone should have one! She looks at shoes, I check up on wolves. Ha

What!? I actually quite like both kits…am I weird?! The sponsor looks out of play but the shirt itself isnt bad, i love the retro aspect to the shirts. The away kit is a near replica of our original colours…remember boys there was a time before gold and black. The reason its the colour it is is to stand out from the reds like man u liverpool etc as apparently gold and red clash on the pitch and look the same. Ill get the home kit regardless…could be worse…could have been the man utd kits (LOLZ)

Apparently the redness of kit is a significant part of the success of Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal. Inspires thrusting confidence in the home players and strikes fear into the opposition. So perhaps a little bit of red isn’t a bad thing.
Quite why Aldershot have always been shite despite playing in red and blue has never been explained to me.

So many comments…erm. Yeah. It’s not great is it? Better than the Doritoes era though, but that doesn’t take much!
I’d like a good sponser next time round, an Umbro/Addidas/Nike/Reebok/Puma ie, an actual decent kit maker with history of good/interesting kits.

Both the kits are shit! i cant believe we are changing from our class strip now, to those shit things. i hate the new kit!

Well there we go, we’ve got to change it though Venny, new sponser and all, if they just lumped the old shirt with a new sponser on they wouldn’t be able to bleed the fans quite as dry!

A variation on a theme, as Graham Taylor famously once said ‘do i not like orange’. If they wanted a retro look, surely they should go with retro colour eg OLD GOLD!
On a lighter note, anyone else feeling the ambient euphoria vibe, or is that just me.Posted from

anyone see lee dixon on football focus say brum deserve promotion because they’ve played good football all season, is he watching the same team!? Why can’t I get paid to say anything I want about football!?

lol i didnt see it but u saying it made me laugh pretty hard. If anyone deserves to go up because of the way they play football then it would have to be swansea…they have played some damn fine football at times. But blues playing well…pull the other leg!

I think the two strips are distugusting. sporting bet looks so bad, and just because sporting bet looks bad doesn’t mean you need to make the whole kit look bad!
