Was the name of a company in Coventry who knocked out very good copies of Wednesday Umbro shirts with full Umbro badging. He did Cov shirts as well and some Wednesday concept shirts including a Wednesday blue replica of the 88 Dutch shirt.

You'll get some bad ones, but you'll also get some classics that'll be worn for years. And offer them without sponsors. On 16/06/2024 at 23:39, Tylluan said: Why though? Last season's shirt showed you could have variation without deviating from tradition. I get changing the shirt is a revenue generator but so is brand image. Keep the traditional 5 stripes, blue middle stripe and mess around with the collar or sleeve cuff colours. You can have nods to the past by replicating the 84 v neck or the squiggle in the blue stripes on the 90 shirt. Am picking up on this a bit late but... Why is 5 stripes traditional? Our traditional shirt is 7 stripes, as posted earlier in this thread. Yes, we have had 5 stripes at times but it always makes us look more like other clubs, not so much the Wednesday.

The bog standard usual shirt. We don't have a bog standard shirt, just a set of stripes. Therefore no shirt 'brand'. From the 20s to the early 60s we were predominantly 5 stripes. 7 stripes from the 70s to the late 80s and back to 5 until Puma comes along. Then we start to fluctuate between the two to differentiate seasons and drive sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most iconic kits was the puma with the massive white stripe down the middle, I'm honestly surprised we haven't tried it again. It's one of the very few that worked with blue shorts too. That is one of those kits that if you debadged it, would be instantly and exclusively Wednesday and not be associated with another team.

I wasn’t keen on that one,although it was the first shirt my son had.If i remember correctly it had a thin stripe either side of the broad one.Apart from that it was similar to the Birmingham City ‘penguin’ shirt. You can’t beat blue and white stripes with black shorts if you want an iconic kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
