Wolverhampton Wanderers 09/10 Le Coq Sportif Kits
Wolverhampton Wanderers have unveiled their new 09/10 home and away shirts at a glittering ceremony at the start of the biggest ever End-of-Season awards dinner.
The new shirts, carrying the logo of new club sponsors Sportingbet.com, were revealed for the first time at the dinner at Telford's International Centre as modelled by Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Karl Henry, Matt Jarvis and Kevin Foley.
The home shirt, manufactured by Le Coq Sportif, has a distinctly 'retro' feel, and is predominantly gold after supporters expressed a preference for a minimal amount of black on the shirt.
The small amount of black on the ribbed colour and sleeve pays due reverence to Wolves shirts of the past which in common with many clubs at the time had shirts of just one solid colour, with a contrast colour where appropriate.
The away kit was always going to prove something of a challenge after record sales of last season, and it was decided after similar consultations to go with a predominantly white kit for the Premier League.
There is a red trim to the white kit, in a small way paying tribute to a former kit all the way back towards the end of the 19th century when Wolves wore red and white stripes.
The players will have red and white numbers and letters on the reverse of their away shirts, and supporters can also embellish their shirts in the same way.
Head of Retail and Merchandising Peter Pridmore explained: "Both kits have been designed as a result of supporter feedback, in consultation with the representatives of the Fans Parliament and also the manager Mick McCarthy.
"The initial feedback from the management and players, and indeed the supporters who have seen the shirts for the first time at tonight's dinner, has been very positive.
"We are hoping the shirts will go on to become some of the best selling in the club's history as the team prepare for life in the Premier League."
Prices have been frozen on shirts for the NINTH consecutive year, with shirts starting from £30 for juniors, shorts from £15 and socks from £7.
Meanwhile in co-operation with sponsors Sportingbet.com, junior and mini-kits will be available with either the Sportingbet.com logo or the Wolves Community Trust logo.
Fans not present at tonight's dinner will have a chance to see the shirts up close on display first time at the final game of the season against Doncaster on Sunday.
The strips will then be worn for the first time in the Premier League next season.

Comments
but very nice Templates
I agree with the \"tank top\" comment about the away shirt, though.
Another great Le Coq Sportif top!
the away 1 sucks
i usually have every top but thats a big no!
we should have somethin smarter for in the prem.
oh well its only a kit
cmon u wolves
Wolves? W*nkers more like! Only hate more that Weeds Millwall...
The away kit on the other hand is quite disgusting.
The away shirt sucks..seems like cheap fake shirts, or from that 4\'th divisiom teams...I think that Le Coq can make a shirt away better than that...
The away one had a nice intention, but if you\'re gonna pay tribute then go the whole way. Red and white stripes would\'ve been better than this. Otherwise just go with plain white with old gold or black trims.
Fantastic that sportingbet are giving fans the choice of sponsor for the junior and mini kits and glad to see at least one kit maker is going back to bespoke kits - are you listening Puma, adidas and Nike??? :whistle:
All I need now is for Canterbury to make an excellent Motherwell kit and I\'ll be happy as! :woohoo:
You don\'t see Arsenal. Chelsea, Liverpool or United putting up with coloured logos.
If sportingbet changed their logo to all black, they could claim it was out of respect for the great traditional Wolves colours and it would be a good PR exercise.
Thanks danwho for bringing me into this one haha.
As you said i am not a happy chappy with the kit maker still being LCS but nevermind only one season before we will (hopefully) change to something better. You can sort of see where they were going with these 2 shirts but in my view they haven\'t really hit the spot especially with the away. The home shirt isn\'t bad but thats because its plain and simple and sort of retro but thats just down to its simpleness. I think the colour won\'t be as bright as in the picture its just the brightness of the photo which also makes it look a little cheap but in the close up one the sponsor and shirt look a better quality. As for the away kit... i don\'t quite know where to start. the fact that they have tried to use the excuse of looking at \"the end of the 19th century\" kit when we had red and white stripes but they seem to have missed the main design.... the stripes, if your going to do a tribute to a past kit then at least make it look like it rather than a cricket top. JESUS!
Overall they had the good idea to look to the fans and past designs but they have fallen short again and that seems to be happening every time LCS make a shirt, they have become a second rate manufacturer in my opinion and i can\'t wait till they vanish off the earth!
Not even going to mention the sponsor. Hopefully the players will look good on the pitch playing in the home shirt (the away shirt we\'ve got no chance) and we can also win many games in them.
JBSTOKIE being a Stoke fan isn\'t anything to even admit to buddy.
Buen trabajo del GALLO.
As for the away kit....wrong colour combo,even if it is meant to be based on an early design in the club\'s history.
White with black and gold trim would have been better.
You wait until Wolves walk out on to the park. These kits are going to look simply stunning and most will be envious. That gold one makes me feel like Holland are playing and looks really smart. Kids will love it. Wolves may have got it bang on here attracting little people with jazzy colours.
The white one, with a shirt that fits the player would also look stunning. Cant wait to see these kits in the premiership, add a bit more colour to the league.
Very impressed Sportif and Wolves
it is cool B)
on the colour of the home, I think this will appear old gold in the flesh, I think its just the lighting of the strip. remember, its a colour thats pretty hard to get a consistent shade in shots, so I think Wolves fans/ everyone should wait till they see it in the flesh. On the design of the shirt, it looks class.
Saying that, I like the hone shirt - especially with the coloured sponsor logo. But why do they have Sheffield United\'S Away kit...?!?!!!
The away kit is shocking. Truly awful.
Away kit is just not wolves ....
i know the black was unplayable in at night but i thort the home kit was perfect
im not so sure about this kit
im sure it will grow on me
Away kit could have been better but thats no suprise,
COME ON WANDERERS =P
Just a small gripe with the Red and White away kit: Aren\'t those Liverpool\'s colours?
hope they do well in the premiership
Always thought the black way was excellent- that one not too bad but agree above- just isn\'t Wolves although I appreciate is an old school kit.
Collar on the home works
but if we stay up i wont particularly mind
the material is really nice and it looks very smart
even better now albion have gone down. :silly:
hideous colours anyway,sponsors logo looks like an iron on transfer .
away kit looks cheap and nasty like a non league kit....boring colours !
overall....s**t ,just like the fans !
WHY THE **** ARE THEY GOING BACKWARDS AND PRODUCING KITS LIKE THIS THAT LOOK THEY WERE ONCE WORN IN THE DARK AGES?
THEY ARE BOTH DISCUSTING.
THE CHAUCER KIT WE HAD LAST SEASON WAS PERCETLY MADE WITH THE RIGHT RATIO OF BLACK AND GOLD AND A REAL COLLAR?
THE NEW KIT IS DISCUSTING AND IT NEEDS RE-THINKING..
