Wolves will unveil their new home kit tonight after signing a new two-year, seven-figure sponsorship deal with sportswear manufacturers, Le Coq Sportif. But the new deal means changes every year now in both the home and away strips.
The club will show off the new home kit at tonight’s end of season awards dinner.
The new design will also be paraded around the pitch before Sunday’s final game of the season against Plymouth.
As part of the deal, Le Coq, who have produced Wolves’ strips for the last four years, will produce a new home and away kit every year.
The new away kit will be launched later in the summer. Wolves have frozen the prices for the new design, which will be on sale from May 16 with adult home shirts costing £40 and juniors £30.
And, until the end of the month, fans who buy a new adult home shirt can have a child’s shirt or mini kit for half price.
Chief executive Jez Moxey said: “The feedback on Wolves -Le Coq Sportif has been very positive. We’ve sold record numbers of replica shirts and associated products during the agreement.”
Wolves have used the Fans’ Parliament to get an input from supporters on the new strip and Moxey added: “I’m sure supporters will be happy with the look.
“Following on from feedback from supporters, one of the changes for next season is the socks, which will revert back to old gold in colour from the current mainly black design.”
And he defended the annual changes that will follow saying: “For a number of years now, many football clubs have changed their home and away strips every season and we’ve taken the step to alter our policy and follow suit.
Pre-orders can be made from tomorrow.

Excellent idea to revert back to gold socks.
Im far more interested in the unveiling of our new manager.
If you want a scoop E&S, try quizzing Morgan about his distance from this hotly debated topic
Its what your readers want. Its what your advertisers want.
Its what Wolverhampton Wanderers Want
Another way to screw money out the fans without the performance on the pitch
Already seen the home kit. Looks ok, rather to much salmon colour though.
GREAT–What about a new team.
kool like the shirts ,will be geting ours on the release date
They may have frozen the prices but it’s still £40 / £80 per year per person !! (assuming they freeze the price each year that is !!). I can’t help feeling that’s asking a lot - especially those with families.
I’v already seen it.
You just reminded me my wifes needs some new dusters,only joking best of luck in chase for the playoffs.
kool shall be getting on it on release date
YES A GREAT WAY TO RIP FANS OFF!!!!
2 new kits every season and cough,cough if we get promoted you have to have 3 kits(premier league rules).
glad im not a parent
seen it y’day
now lets move on to the next story which will be either
1. freddy saga
2. mccarthy coming out with more clever ways to wind up the fans
3. some idiot average wolves player saying ” we believe we’ll get in playoffs and we’ll keep believing”
I wonder if changing the strip so often is one of the reasons there is not so much pride in them these days? doubt it though , most playes dont care what the kit loks like so long as the cash keeps rolling in!
Another rip off. At the moment the club should be looking at giving something back to the fans not fleecing them out of more money.
But then again they have to recoup the money from lost season ticket sales caused by Micks poor selection policies.
Someone asked what happens if we are level on points and goals scored after Sunday;
9 Method of Determining League Positions
9.1 At the end of each Season the Club in each Division scoring the highest number of points shall be declared the Champion Club of that Division. Three points shall be awarded for each League Match won. One point will be awarded to each Club for a drawn match. If two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points their position in the Division shall be determined on goal difference, that is to say, the difference between the total number of goals scored by and against a Club in League Matches in that Season, and the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club with the higest goal difference. If any two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the same goal difference the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals in League Matches that Season.
9.2 If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored. If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs, then the Clubs concerned shall play off a deciding League Match or Matches under arrangements approved by the Board on a neutral ground. The net gate money after deducting the usual match expenses shall be equally divided between the two competing Clubs. Any Club staging such a play-off match shall be entitled to charge as an expense against the receipts of the match 10% of the gross gate receipts after deduction of Value Added Tax. In the event of such a match being arranged by the Board to be played on the ground of a Club which is not a member of The League, then a similar charge as an expense against the receipts of the match shall be paid by The League who shall otherwise be responsible for the financial arrangements made with the Club staging the match. These provisions shall determine the ranking of Clubs in their respective Divisions.
9) You have got one of the worst looking tops in the league with a pink logo from a German company on it. Nice!
rip the fans off to pay so that idiot manager of ours can spend the profit on ex sunderland cast offs and irish boy wonders and proven goal scorers that he doesnt use?? WE WANT MUPPET OUT SAY WE WANT MUPPET OUT
New Strip New Start new Manager !
The ‘chaucer’ logo looks a load better. Is there a tight fitting one and a loose fitted or is it just the way they’ve hung them?
who else changes their shirt every season cause i am struggling to think of anyone, the last couple of shirts have been rubbish anyway with no new ideas behind them. at least in the good old days when you got a shirt you knew it would be for 2 seasons at least that this point in time whats the reason for buying one when in 6 months time its out of date
I think it is unfair on supports to have to purchase a new strip each new season. I think il wait for the january sale when the new strip will be half price or less. If fans don’t purchase the strip then wolves would have no choice but to go back to their old arrangement of a strip to last 2 seasons.
Is it me or does it look like the wolves hexagonal crest on the away kit could be black and flourecent yellow?
is the new shirt waterproof so you can dry your tears on it sunday boing boing
ahwell ill be pre-ordering mine tomorrow, rarely buy the away kit anyway so not fussed about that!!
16.. Well its a good job we are not in that league anymore then isn’t it
It’s quite simple.
Supporters don’t have to buy every kit that comes out. If you want to, you can. If you don’t, then you are under no obligation to do so.
Don’t worry about not having the latest kit. About 1 in 5 people at molineux still wear that big Nutmeg jacket!
For Lord’s sake, no-one ever HAS to buy a new kit each year! Are we all such sheep that we can’t resist the new shirts???? It’s only a rip-off if we let it be a rip off….
I quite like the look of the kit though…
the away kits are always a bit of a novelty. i think i will buy one of the home retro kits like the manders one.
Good just the right colour, to hang on the
toilet roll
the away kits are always a bit of a novelty. if i buy a home kit next season i would much prefer one of the retro shirts.
Problem is you will have COCA Cola on yours
Villa change both their shirts every year got a few friends who are villa fans who complain about it!!
I have a signed shirt from the ‘03 promotion season for sale. Unworn, all the squad signatures, Rae, Ince, Cameron etc..
Anyone care to make me an offer?
Brummie Rob we are also having new shirts and sponsers one logo we are having on the shirt is the premmier badge.
I thought under league rules, you were not allowed to change your kit more frequently than every 2 seasons to stop clubs trying to make extra money like this. they got around it with the away kit by having it become the 3rd kit the following season. I like the look of this new one but hope i don’t have to pay another £40 this time next season too.
Good luck for sunday lads!! Do us proud!!
Ker- chiiiing!
I am now fed up of being nice to the Sandwell Steptoes. I hope you do a Derby.What am I on about? I KNOW you will do a Derby.
And you will then be known as the NETTOS- NO CLASS AND CHEAP!
I feel better for that.Don’t really care what our strip looks like
STUART FLEETWOOD of forest Green Rovers is going to be released this summer because he won’t sign for them. He has scored 34 goals and don’t tell me ‘yeah in the conference’ cus lets not forget where a certain Michael Kightly was from. Worth a punt defo!
if it come’s with the prem logo on it i might just buy one but until that happens i’ll wait and wait and wait you get the picture,lets see what unfolds the weekend.
Frozen the prices at £40?! They should be reducing them as they’re only good for one season! Don’t England shirts retail at around £25? £40 for one season, what a rip off. Only hope that it’s a season spent in the Prem or at very least our last season in the Championship!
Joe, can’t you see that you’re just playing into their hands by reacting? They were obviously hating no reaction cos every couple of posts the same couple of blokes put almost exactly the same thing. Just leave them to it, I couldn’t give a toss about them, concentrate on our lot and not them mate.
37joewilf,but we are tescos old boy,your nettos,boing boing into the prem
why dont you go back to nutmeg,then you can think of geras goal at the moll boing boing
Dr Wolf - can we have Ince, Rae & Cameron etc… in the wolves team please
not content to rob supporters at the gate now you want to fall in line with the big clubs and change every season.[worth it if you’ve got a team to brag about]I’m proud of my team,its my birthright but dont like being robbed by them.C’MON YOU WOLVES GIVE US SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT..
Thought it was Gold And Black?
Not Orange and Black
HAHAHA
1-0 !
With the two small logos - then the horse logo and chaucer underneath it looks like a smiley face - that will be a first down the mol !!!
Honest - have a look at the top of this page - its a smiley face….it could be Jez. (its the right colour)

34. you forgot to mention that the premier badge on the baggies shirt will be fixed by velcro to assist with easy removal , and the new type velcro is expected to last 12 mths or until spring 09 depending if you beat derby`s points total.
