not to bad i suppose why not go back to the yellow and green of old for the away shirt .
any ideas on our new sponser yet
Report abuse
It’s just like watching Brazil.
I personally like and will be investing in both.
Report abuse
just wear the tesco bag!!!!!!

Nice and traditional for the home shirt, unsure about a yellow away shirt !
Report abuse
the away top looks great not sure about the home though……lets hope the sponsors name dont spoil em like t-mobile did on the home one(pink)
Report abuse
Ugh Horrible especially the yellow i was comfortable with this yrs kit thank u v. much! the home looks ok tho
Report abuse
not overly keen on the yellow away kit i was hoping for something a bit more exciting, looks a bit mellow yellow to me. as for the home kit, nice and traditional.
Report abuse
Hmmm…they both look pretty unispiring to me. Our best recent strip was the 02-03 First Premiership season with its ’68 styling.
Report abuse
The New Home Kit reminds me of the mid 80′s shirt but the away kit looks awfull. Hope that i’ll like it as time goes by.
Report abuse
Like the home shirt, though the away shirt does look a little like a ref’s shirt or something you would see a primary school in.
Report abuse
Saw these “previewed” elsewhere some time ago! Home shirt looks great, little bit late 70′s and late 80′s about it. Away shirt looks a bit “wishy washy” but my sources tell me it’s actually quite a vibrant yellow and is almost identical to the new Sweden kit?
Whatever happens, I’m sure my kids will all want one!!
Report abuse
They look good, I like the away top, almost retro.
Best of luck in the Prem.
Report abuse
Looking at the away strip does this mean the rumour of floors to go being our new sponsor are correct??? Surely that could be the only reason for choosing that colour!!!
Home strip looks ok though.
Report abuse
jarrod, is my finders fee in the post mate? What do you think to them?
Report abuse
Looks like photos taken by an intruder…
It’s the way we play that makes us watchable. From what I heard the ‘yellow’ away is more luminous than the picture shows.
Next stop the fixture list. Can’t wait.
Report abuse
That surley cant be it! The away kit is horrible haha…. as is the home
Report abuse
The Away shirt looks totally insipid I’ve seen better looking custard, maybe Birds Eye are the new sponsor …. It’ll be OK plastered in mud, so keep it for the Wigan trip (only).
Report abuse
perfer a few more navy stripes – like in the 70s – otherwise they look good
Report abuse
prefer a few more navy stripes – like in the 70s – otherwise they look good

Did you take those pictures on your phone mate??, not sure about the away shirt but they always look different in the cloth.
Anybody else have any guesses to whom the new sponsor will be??
So far i have heard:
Floors to go
Carlsberg
Report abuse
Home shirt is great, a twist on the 80s shirt…the away is horrible.Thought the white and black strips this year were great.
Report abuse
Ive always liked anything weve worn with the exception of the red and yellow wavy striped away shirt in 92/93.. Looking back that was just plain awful tho I was only a kid so loved it back then
Is the back of the home shirt striped aswell or does it need to be kept clear for Sky TV purposes
Report abuse
They’re both awful, sorry but i wont be investing in either of them. Do we know who our sponsor is likely to be yet?
Report abuse
If we have any marketing sense, & he is still at the club we have to give the number 10 shirt to Pele
Report abuse
my old man will love these, old style deign etc. croaky old git haha, il have to grab myself one.
hopefully the aint ruined by a crappy sponsor sign, after all with Deripaska coming in….who needs a sponsor! ;-)
Report abuse
i lk them – home as usual n away lk brazil tops. gd choice
Report abuse
I found those pictures on the internet, havent seen it for myself yet, if i’d been close enough to have taken a picture id be the proud owner of the first Albion kits for next season! Ha!
On the sponsor side im just hoping its something decent, as i like these kits pre-sponsor!
Report abuse
Both look OK to me. My main hope is that we go back to only wearing the change strip when there is a clash, like Newcastle, maybe Blackburn and errrr… no one else really, unless we draw Brighton in the Cup.
Report abuse
CARLING……..you heard it hear first
Report abuse
Makes me laugh, the best football we’ve ever played, win the league, fa cup semi final, your5 2 best players are leaving, 3000 free tickets, £10 for5 other tickets and you havnt got a sponsor. I heard a local cleaner may be interested but it is all set up nicely for tescos!
Report abuse
Hey i didnt say “white and black” strips?!Who is tampering with the posts?!
Report abuse
No. 7 – I remember that shirt i qued up for it on the friday morning, and wore it to old trafford the next day for our first game in the prem, and by the end of the game it had pulls everywhere the quality was awful, but then again the kit manufacturer was ‘the baggies’, boing boing – i heard a rumour our new sponsor may be carlsberg or jd sports.
Report abuse
Bomber.
Carlsberg don’t sponser football teams,
but if they did, it would probably be the
best team in the Black Country!
BOING BOING.
Report abuse
I heard Google were in the race to be new sponsor and possibly Cadbury’s which would be great!! Rather be handed a Dairy Milk than a pair of T-Mobile texting gloves lol!! (mind you, on that theme I’d also rather have a six pack of Carlsberg than a Dairy Milk!!)
Report abuse
Not generally a fan of football shirts but would say you do tend to have nice strips particularly your home ones.
Report abuse
laughingwolf..at least it will have Premiership on it, you can only look in from the outside and dribble !
Report abuse
I like the look of both kits but the most important part of the kit for me is the sleeve…… cus we will have that PREMIER LEAGUE badge on their…… LOVIN IT!!!
Report abuse
3. Main thing it’ll have a premier badge on the arm… MUPPET!!!!
11. Fair play…
I Love it.. especially the yellow away.. was it 85/86 with blue pin stripe??? Still love green yellow but this is cool… go on hol tom pity i cor get 1
Report abuse
32) ken – Genius!!
Report abuse
Can’ really say that I’m bothered about what colour we use as a second strip for away games, but can we please go back to NAVY BLUE and white stripes for the home kit. When you compare the latest home kits to the one from the days of being sponsered by West Bromwich Building Society, they are distinctly BLACK stripes. I can understand why they were described like that in the Wembley FA Cup Semi Final programme. Once changed back, I might just then consider purchasing one !!!
As a matter of interest, what do other supporters think ?
Report abuse
I must admit Laughinwolf……you have turned
talking b****** into an art form……respect,
your sponsor….erm….chaucer……that`s a newsagents in wednesfield int it ?
Report abuse
if its got the ALBION badge on i shall wear it,boing boing proud to be a baggie the MOWBURY WAY

laura will look beautiful in the yellow one,it will release the colours of her golden hair,show off the sparkle in her blue eyes,reflect the sunlight from her beautifuly tanned complextion,
xxx laura i love you xxx

Remember those rumours about the M6 Toll road being our sponsor before t-Mobile came on board? That was soooo funny. Glad to see the back of the Pink Patch on the home shirts although I’ll miss the black strip.
Report abuse
iv heard going places…………because we are!!! GOING PLACES! the mowbray way!! ay terry??

saw these photos weeks ago and it was said they might be proto types so dont get to carried away just yet,,,,PLAYING IN THE PREM THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,OOOOOOOOH YES.
Report abuse
Brilliant Ken!
The home kit will probably be really nice, I hope we wear navy shorts with it and it has a little splash of yellow or red somewhere.
I think Carling could be quite a good shout as apprently Carlsberg won’t sponsor two premiership teams. JD sports would be a bit rubbish looking I feel…bring back the West Bromwich Building Society and the tree!
Report abuse
Home strip looks good, need sponsor but hope wo’nt spoil it. Away strip too much yellow! Yellow or gold descibes failure,proof? well just look at the the dingles!
Report abuse
The Dingles on this page are a total joke.
We have sold the home season allocation we are entitled to sell and have about a 2,000 waiting list. Their sponsored by who? They a car wash in Wednesbury?
The sponsor isn’t on the shirts because it hasnt been finalsied yet. We get sposored by multi national telecom firms and those retards seek to take the mick when nobody from Dingle land can even tell you who or what their sponsor is!!
Report abuse
Much more quality humour on your site. You’ve given me quite a laugh today. Not keen on your second strip but the important one looks fine.Good luck next season, hope to be joining you there next season. 32′s comment is a real classic.
Report abuse
we cud well be sponsered by the KGB if things go to plan,boing boing gone up the MOWBURY WAY
Report abuse
Like the home kit – needs to be NAVY blue though.
Not too sure about the away one. The black away kit was a winner and looked good as casual wear. Yellow is the colour of defeat and cowardice – check out the research on colour of strips and winning teams!!
Report abuse
I’ve heard the new sponsor is going to be either Carlsberg or 888.com
This is the new kit as well, not just a sample. I like them both myself, fat stripes are the way forward after being put off thin stripes by the barcode effort of 92 – 94.
Report abuse
hey worcester when you sent me that yella un i thought you wa jokin boing boing hi jackie
Report abuse
It does not matter what colour the Baggies play in, we will still be in the Premiership!
It does not matter who the sponsors are, we are still in the Premiership!
Could be alot worse: tight cut tops to show off flab, same old dirty gold colour, no Premiership badge on it and HUE R CAC sponsors written on the front !!
Image a nightmare dream where your rival football team beat you again in the season on your home soil, they get promoted Champions and you miss out on playoffs by the goal your rivals won by, you get stuck with the same manager who bought players and then sold them as duffs, your chief executive and manager give you spin on how it is going to all change and they are going to expand your ground and the majority of the teams coming down and still in your league have stronger squads than yours !
The nighmare dream is reality and you need to wake up and smell the coffee.
You have no bragging rights as your rivals are in a different league and the yo-yo, your coming straight back down comments don’t grate as you can’t even YO !
You can now tell a Baggies fan from a Wolves fan without either wearing their colours. Both have wide mouths, but the Baggies fan’s mouth turns up at the ends and the Wolves fan’s turns down. BOING BOING !!!

Home ok away horrible!
Report abuse
The home top looks good, not sure about the away one it looks a bit like a referee shirt
Report abuse
Home one looks nice and familiar – the away one will probably be a fans fave as it will go with jeans – but if the colour is better than shown in the pics then I like that one too.
Think I’l get a yellow one with “HAPPY” on the back…. give the dingles summat to aim at !

55. you keep telling yourself that.
and we will see who as the last laugh.

Not keen on the away shirt, as many have pointed out, a bit boring. Home kit’s fine though, navy blue and white as it should be.

If you wanted the away strip to look like our home strip why didnt you say we would have given you some.

Ha Ha Ha. There.
Oh, the kit. That’s what this post is about wolves fans. The home kit’s good, 80s retro, Not decided about the all yellow yet. I prefer a either yellow & green stripes or a dark kit.

The away shirt reminds me of the yellow away shirt that we played in back in the early 70′s. I saw us play at Goodison in the FA Cup in about 1973/4 wearing something very similar.
The home shirt looks similar to the 1978 Batson, Regis, Cunningham era.

Comment from Hawthorn Hall….
Hello everyone, Sir Baggie here.
I have indicated both my approval and that of His Grace the Duke of Smethwick to the board.
I trust the sponsor will be Taylor’s Port….
Cry god for King Kev, Mowbray and Sir Baggie !

LOOKS GOOD TO ME, JUST HOPE THERE’S NOT A SILLY LITTLE PINK BAND ON THE FRONT.

Home kit is nice. Away is horrible. What’s all this bickering, our sponsor is better than yours nonsense? Do you know how silly you sound? A pawn to the world of logos football has brainwashed you with.

Yellow & green stripes for away shirt would be better.

Home kit ok,I don’t like the away kit the colour’s terrible.
I would have preffered the home kit to have been similar to the one in the late 1960s, including the white away kit like the the one used in 1968.

Ugly especially the Away

Typical knuckle dragging from wolfie!! Not that im keen on the away shirt but R u actually jealous of our PREMIERSHIP status,our PREMIERSHIP style of football or is it that our strip actually looks a lot more GOLD than your HA HA HA HA HA HA
Report abuse
67.. Carlsberg are in the running for the shirt sponsor thats off someone that is within the club . Not saying they will be the shirt sponsors but they have approached albion. My “contact” said at the moment its between 3-4 companys with Carlsberg being one.
But to be honest I could not care less who sponsors them or what the strip looks like its how the players play that counts

Loved the White and Black strips we wore this year? Y Change them? That yellow shirt is horrible…i mean its like a pale dingles shirt…lol i dnt mind the home one but once again i preferred this seasons…..

It matters not who sponsors us or what the kit looks like, its how we play that matters and the word style is all about how we play folks with style. I would not mind being sponsored by Tesco’s at least it is a company people have heard of. I hear the dings are going with Andrex next year, draw your own conclusions

Still think the stipes are too dark. Looks like Black on most photos
nice design though.

Referees top for the away one anybody?
i certainly see resemblances and yes i know wolves away is horrible but come on, i know next season you will need the refs on your side, but this is a tad too far
lol
Report abuse
There is only so much you can come up with on Blue and White stripes, I think the home kit looks good, not sure about the away, but it’ll grow on us as time goes on, will have to see it for myself when it goes on sale, might look totally different as pictures can sometimes be deceiving. Will buy one anyway, as it’ll have
the Prem League badge on sleeve, and surely we wont be sponsered by ‘dorito’s’ like Wolves a few seasons back. And would like to thank T Mobile for sponsoring us for last 4 years who bought us Mr Woo in for some entertainment.
Report abuse
Home ones alright taking in to consideration it is a baggies shirt and away is horrible be a lot nicer if it was old gold though!

Top marks for the home strip but I’m not sure about the away strip.
To be honest, I’m not entirely bothered what the strips are like aslong as the Premier League badge is on the arm!

Love both strips. Classy shirts for classy football we have seen under mowbry.
For the wolves fans looking at this. Enjoy Another season of failure in the championship. At least you won’t have to suffer anymore of a black country derby. We have many highlights to savor on our season dvd. All wolves have is a point at the hawthorns. How pathetic. I bet you will forward your cup exit to morecambe ha ha ha ha

THE HOME STRIP LOOKS OK A LITTLE RETRO BUT THE YELLOW AWAY LOOKS LIKE A REFEREE SHIRT
Report abuse
Sorry 39, can’t agree. Navy is supposed to be dark blue not the wishy washy Tesco blue of the early 90s. Last years was spot on, three dark stripes, white arms, WHITE SOCKS! Gotta be white socks this year. Remember how good the kit looked against Hull away and a certain local derby. I like the new home and obviously they have taken the West Brazil theme to heart for the away. I am slightly worried that both shirts hark back to the no smoking era and we all remember what happened that year! Having said that our last prem shirt was based on the brilliant late 70s team and a fat lot of good that did us. So maybe this is reverse psychology.
Staying up the Mowbray Way…
Report abuse
Your away kit looks similar to our home kit!!! Perhaps we should have Blue n White stripes for our away kit
Enjoy your close season

I think the away shirt has gone for the leisure sales market. Anyone know what colour the shorts/socks will be with away kit?
