Same shirt that was for sale to Sunday league teams basically. Just shows even the powerhouse brands like Adidas & Nike don’t always break their neck to make something bespoke. For what it’s worth I think bespoke is exactly what we’ll get from Macron, much like Sondico. Happens with most clubs unless its a proper bespoke company, or they decide to make bespoke kits regardless of what division you are in Lot of Puma is templates, I know, I think it was Ipswich had one similar to a Sunday league club I played for an charged 50-60 quid for it! Cost us £12.50 with no badge or sponsor. Ridiculous at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a life long Wednesday supporter and ALWAYS preferred the 'traditional |Blue and Whte' stripes. Maybe its my age creeping up on me, maybe its our current situation having an effect, maybeits soethng else, but may I be allowed to makr this observation - Although very much a Traditionalist, and proud of it, the whole of the Euro2020 campaign, whilst makinng me proud , has left me with the impression that soccer has been left stuck in he past, and the variation of colours and designs of other sports has been much more colourful. I never thought that Rugby Lague, in particular, would be a much more colourful and pleasing on he eye expeience than soccer. And one thing I noticed is the number of International teams using the oft derided Umbro and Bukta kits. Maybe the time has come for use to enter the 21st century? Soccer? and who’s using Bukta? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus. However, “soccer” never became much more than a nickname in Great Britain. By the 20th century, 1863: Football Association: Soccer, it's American and 'posh' England name can do one ... worldwide it's 'Football' and the appropriation of it by the USA will simply be a way of managing the change that allows effin' quarters and more ad time for TV Soccer ... it can ...frankly ...fuckrightoff!! Nothing worse as well when someone uses the term soccer jersey. Its a football kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic 1 Wednesday 1992 Pic 2 Followed by Chelsea 1992 same kit Pic 3 Extra black strips on Chelsea kit Great work Umbro. Just being pedantic, but the Chelsea one was the season after we had ours. Also, presumably the Chelsea one in picture 3 only has extra stripes because it’s a larger size. I don’t think they actually changed anything in the base design.

Yep bang on, the Chelsea design was a year after ours and was also their third kit. The extra stripes are just because of the sizes... although the subliminal pattern within the shirt was different to ours. Their home and away kits were still bespoke.

I very much doubt that. Check your label when your replica shirt arrives. They’ll be mass produced in Macron accredited manufacturers in China or Thailand. No way could they handle that sort of demand from their Italian operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like any large manufacturer...it’s cheaper and there are massive factories pumping stuff out. Boss and many high end labels produce most of their stuff in Mauritius as it’s dirt cheap.

The Owls will be wearing a pre-season matchday Macron kit for our upcoming friendly fixtures, including today’s game against the Bhoys. This pre-season kit will not go on sale to supporters but will be auctioned off at a later date to raise money for charities supported by SWFC and Macron. While the Celtic fixture is set to take place behind closed doors, supporters can tune in live via iFollow. Match passes are available on I-Follow Look out for more announcements on the new 2021/22 kit in the coming weeks! Have we heard about the auction of these shirts? Or have I missed it?
