The new home kit was unveiled at 9am yesterday morning.

It marks a return to a deeper gold colour, with black socks and a light gold colour.

The kit has proved extremely popular with supporters who snapped up 3,843 shirts between 9am and midnight yesterday.

That's a whopping 202 per cent increase on the first day of sales for last year's shirt, when 1,271 were sold.

It is sponsored by new sponsors, betting firm ManBetX and costs £55.

It will go on sale at the Molineux Megastore next Tuesday (July 9) at 6pm.

For those looking to go to the club shop to purchase the home shirt on Tuesday, parking will be available on the Stan Cullis car park and a queuing system will be put in place outside the store.

The launch event is set to run between 6pm and 10pm, but the shop will be closed from 2.30pm in the afternoon in preparation.

Wolves' new away kit – which is expected to be black after images were leaked last week – will be revealed later this month.
