Wrexham’s new away kit has been released, and it includes one detail which shows that Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are staying true to the club’s roots.
Ahead of the 2025/26 Championship season, Wrexham have been undergoing an Australian tour in pre-season.
Alongside the tour, Wrexham released their brand new home kit for the 2025/26 campaign, which brought out a mixed reception from fans, especially from those less keen on the centralised badge.
In addition to releasing their new home kit, Wrexham have unveiled their away jersey that will likely be showcased for the first time during the Australia pre-season tour.
The brand new away strip for the Red Dragons has been labelled as ‘Wales-inspired’ by the club, but one thing that fans may not have noticed is that they have done something for the first time in 28 years with this kit.
Wrexham unveil one detail about their away kit that hasn’t been done in 28 years
Wrexham’s new kit shows a yellow base, with green pin-stripes travelling vertically down the front and the shoulders.
Whilst on the whole it is a classy kit, it is one that touches on Wrexham tradition, due to it being ‘the first time we will have worn yellow-and-green shirts since the 1990s’, according to the club.
The last time Wrexham donned the yellow and green kit as their away strip was the 1997/98 campaign. There are stark similarities with the two, with Wrexham replicating the green collar with one yellow line going around, but the edition from 28 years prior has no green pin stripes.
Wrexham first turned to yellow and green kits in 1985, and it has become a staple of the club’s wear throughout the latter stages of the 80s and 90s, something that has now been brought back 28 years later.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are preserving the club’s history
When a new owner takes over the club, there is always a lingering concern as to whether they will cherish club traditions and not move the furniture around too much.
As Hollywood owners with no previous experience in football, it is safe to say that this worry was prevalent when Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac took over the club. Questions arose on whether they took the club with good intentions or if the primary idea was to turn it into a TV spectacle.
However, anyone who thought that has certainly been proven wrong, and the latest kit launch goes further to prove that. It is clear that Reynolds and Mac hold the club’s traditions in good stead – they wish to preserve the Racecourse Ground, and they have promoted Welsh values in WrexhamFX.
Everyone notices the brilliant work that the new ownership has done with the on-field tangible improvement, but the subtle decisions often go unnoticed.
