Wigan Athletic 09/10 Vandanel Away Kit
Wigan Athletic unveiled the 09/10 away kit made by Vandanel and if the Clubs future is as bright as the garment itself, supporters will have no complaints this season!
The kit is modelled on one of the best teams ever to grace a football pitch, the 1978 Dutch side who took the world by storm with their total football. 1978 is of course the year that the Latics claimed their place in the Football League and following a meteoric rise, look forward to a bright future in the Club's forthcoming Barclays Premier League season.
The retro kit manufactured by technical kit partner Vandanel, features Club Principal Sponsor 188BET and a unique sleeve design.
Mario Melchiot, Club Captain and Dutch international, welcomes the new kit as homage to the two great events in 1978, "It's a nice design and obviously players like Daniel (de Ridder) and myself will appreciate the reference it also holds to such a great team. The new manager we have certainly values the importance of keeping possession and working our way around teams so hopefully it'll have a positive influence on us."
Daniel De Ridder, Latics' Flying Dutchman agrees, "I can't wait to get going this season and I'm looking forward to wearing the kit. It's a great design and if it can inspire me to play like those great Dutch sides then I'm sure we'll have some happy memories in it."
The new away kit will be worn for the very first time in tonight's pre-season friendly versus Preston North End and will be available for purchase on Thursday 13th August, two days before the Latics kick off their season away to Aston Villa.
Paul Hunt Commercial Director comments, "It was an unenviable task to follow the new home kit but Vandanel have delivered the Club another quality kit. I am sure it will be a favourite with the fans and will certainly brighten up the new Club Shop!"
Thanks to Martyn and Richard

Well done Vandane,a decent effort.Better than the home kit Wigan have but the orange should be less bright.
What the hell has Holland\'s 1978 team got to do with Wigan??
Holland wore adidas in 1978 - with white shorts!
This is just a money spinner from Wigan and Vanda-who? Except they should do their homework first before launching a marketing campaign like this.

Kit\'s not bad though, but I don\'t understand Wigan\'s fascination with retina-scorching away kits!
.
And Wigan have had the bright away kits in the last two seasons because, Dave Whelan, the chairman of Wigan, his son owns High-Viz clothing company
you must be joking look at the state of it! the nike kit made for dee utd is nice and puts this piss poor effort to shame the v logo down the arms and sides are so tacky its unbelievable looks like something you would find in a charity shop or car boot sale
pish fuk scumdee ur all ****!
Jeez, if you\'re going to pay homage to a classic design, you can at least try and get some of the basic details correct. Having the wrong colour shorts is pretty minor compared to the fact that the shirts are so orange, they make your eyes boil.
This is what a homage to Holland\'s classic kit would have looked like in 1993, not bloody 2009. Even then, you wouldn\'t have seen anyone wearing one other than at an all-night rave.
Fear not, Scouser, once again the mighty Wigan will take a few points off you this season, derailing another pathetic title bid.
last season flourecent yellow
this season flourescent orange
whats next seasons going to be like???????? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Luv it. Better than one of Bettys Pies at Rovers.
Some might scoff, but makes a change from templates designed in Bonn that wouldn\'t tweedle a toffee at a brisket tour.
