Concept design of the 2026/27 away kit.
Once again, Wrexham AFC have pulled off their specialty – causing pandemonium while giving nothing away at all.
The newest teaser from the club merely consists of the teaser “Keep tabs on Wrexham AFC’s latest news tomorrow” and a video that has the word “Tomorrow” printed against a black background containing cracks lit up with red veins, while the Wrexham crest sits behind the text in subtle form.
When combined with the previously rumoured Firefox sponsorship, there has been plenty of effort to try and guess what the 2026/27 away jersey might look like.
Taking into account the given information, the following design might be one of the most accurate predictions so far.
In contrast to the usage of the teaser as marketing material, the concept applies the crack-like texture in volcanic style directly to the jersey. Red veins are added to the black jersey to give it life, resembling those in the teaser.
It would also fit in nicely with Wrexham’s latest philosophy with respect to the away kits. Under Macron’s guidance, away shirts have become stories rather than color changes. Last season’s daffodil-inspired away shirt was a tribute to Wales, whereas previous kits had incorporated hidden messages and references to the local history. Lava pattern is one more story that is going to make a difference from the home kit.
With the front-of-shirt sponsor of Firefox, the design is even better. The sponsor’s bold red color blends naturally into the overall black design. This contrasts against the fact that many modern shirts look messy due to the placement of the sponsors’ logo.
Nevertheless, this is still a fan concept. Both Wrexham and Macron are secretive about the new designs and no images of the away kit have been leaked yet.
However, if the teaser was indeed hinting at the colours and material of the shirt, then this mock-up hits all the right notes. Not only does it adhere to the visual cues, but it also suits the club’s new sponsor perfectly, as well as the club’s new kit philosophy.
While it may not be the correct answer, it’s hard to picture any idea that comes close to the clues given by Wrexham.
