Wrexham’s Exciting 2025-26 Championship Season
Wrexham, the historic Welsh football club famously revitalized by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is gearing up for an exciting 2025-26 Championship season. Known for its illustrious status as the third oldest professional football club globally, Wrexham has made an impressive rise from the National League to the verge of the Premier League, thanks in large part to the momentum gained from three back-to-back promotions since the ownership takeover in 2020.
Nostalgic Retro-Themed Kits
As they prepare for their first English second-tier campaign since the 1981-82 season, Wrexham has introduced a nostalgic line of retro-themed kits that pay homage to the club’s rich history while also embracing the vibrant style of the 1980s. Their freshly revealed home jersey prominently features a centralized club crest, reminiscent of the designs sported by past legends such as Joey Jones and Dixie McNeil over four decades ago.
Playful Rivalry with Swansea City
In a surprising twist during the kit release, the club found itself playfully overshadowed by their Welsh counterparts, Swansea City, who called upon rapper Snoop Dogg for the unveiling of their own new jersey — a move perceived as a cheeky dig at Wrexham.
Preseason Tour and Kit Showcase
On Tuesday, fans watched as Wrexham showcased their new away kit for the first time during a preseason encounter against Sydney FC, part of their tour of Australia and New Zealand. This striking away jersey, bright yellow with green accents, reflects the national pride embodied by the daffodil, which symbolizes optimism in Welsh culture. Its design also incorporates a smart polo collar, subtle pinstripes, and honors the Welsh national anthem with /Land of My Fathers inscribed elegantly in both Welsh and English within the neckline.
Looking Ahead
Despite winning their opening match against Melbourne Victory with a score of 3-0, Wrexham faced a setback, losing 2-1 to Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium. The team is set to continue their tour as they prepare to face Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand on Saturday, eagerly looking forward to the challenges that await them in the Championship season ahead.
