EighteenSixty7 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It looks really smart and nice but that gold elev8 really does ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 The Owls can unveil the first team home and away replica strip for the club’s 150th anniversary campaign. Both strips are a nod to Wednesday’s history - the home kit, with a three-button down placket, has a block royal blue body with white sleeves and shorts, as donned by Wednesday between 1965 and 1972. The v-neck away shirt, meanwhile, takes on a modern twist of the hugely popular early-1990s yellow shirt with striking black pinstripes and black shorts. Both strips are designed and manufactured by kit partner Elev8 with full embroidery, limited edition 150th anniversary crests and deluxe fit. The shirts house the very latest technology, with extra breathable panelling on an interlock material, and ‘150 years 1867 - 2017’ embroidered onto the rear of the collar. The socks on the home strip are white with blue hoops, while the away socks are black with yellow hoops. The 2017/18 replica strips will be on sale in store later this month - visit swfc.co.uk for further information. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatzooma Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Genuine question. Are Elev8 an 'in house' manufacturer? sounds like another 'name' like adidas or Nike or Puma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 No, it's not the worst home kit we've had and it's an improvement on last season's but for me it's similar to last season's in that it's a modern update. To me it doesn't look like the 1960s kit it's based upon. I prefer the away one because it's more creative and interesting. However neither kit seem suitable tributes for the 150th anniversary. A more fitting tribute would have been a kit replicating the iconic style of the early 1990s or a kit based upon the top flight title winning teams to honour the club's past and achievements.
