What a potential Wrexham kit could look like
Wrexham supporters are already looking ahead to next season after a social media post sparked fresh discussion about what the club’s next kit range could look like.
Fan account Spirit of 78 shared an image featuring the words “WAFC Back in Black” alongside the caption “Next season” and an eyes emoji.
There has been no official announcement from Wrexham regarding their 2026/27 kits, meaning any discussion remains firmly in rumour territory for now.
That has not stopped supporters talking about it. In fact, the reaction highlights how popular one particular kit style has become during Wrexham’s rise through the divisions.
Racecourse Ramble discussion reflects supporter excitement
The post was discussed on a recent Racecourse Ramble YouTube Short, where the possibility of Wrexham revisiting a familiar look next season was raised.
One presenter suggested there was a “hint” that Wrexham could be returning to a style supporters have enjoyed in recent years.
Richie responded positively, saying:
“I loved the last one we had. That’s got my vote, definitely.”
The discussion also touched on rumours of a possible cream accent within the design, although there is currently no evidence to suggest any final design has been agreed.
Recent history explains the reaction
The excitement surrounding the post is understandable when looking at Wrexham’s recent kit releases.
The club’s 2023/24 third shirt proved particularly popular among supporters. Produced by Macron, the design paid tribute to the coal mining heritage of Wrexham and North Wales, featuring a dark base with red detailing.
That shirt arrived shortly after Wrexham’s return to the Football League and quickly became one of the standout kits of the ownership era.
A year later, Macron again produced a darker alternative strip for the 2024/25 campaign, this time incorporating bright green detailing into the design.
The popularity of both releases helps explain why supporters immediately connected the latest teaser with those previous shirts.
There is also a deeper historical connection
While many supporters associate the style with recent third kits, the colour has links to Wrexham’s history.
Historical Football Kits records show Wrexham wearing red and black hooped shirts during the club’s early years.
That means the look is not simply a modern trend. It forms part of the club’s wider visual identity stretching back more than a century.
The connection was highlighted again following promotion to the EFL, when black became available for use as an outfield kit colour after previously being restricted in the National League because of its association with referees.
What a potential Wrexham kit could look like
While there has been no official confirmation from Wrexham AFC or Macron regarding next season’s kits, the recent speculation has already sparked plenty of discussion among supporters. Based on the Spirit of 78 teaser, comments from the Racecourse Ramble podcast and the club’s recent history with darker alternate strips, we created the concept image below to visualise what a possible design could look like.
The mock-up combines several themes that have featured in previous Wrexham kits, including a dark base colour, subtle heritage-inspired graphics and cream detailing, which has been mentioned in recent fan discussions. Elements inspired by the club’s industrial roots and Racecourse Ground history have also been incorporated into the design.
It is important to stress that this is purely a fan-made concept and is not affiliated with Wrexham AFC or Macron. However, if the latest rumours prove accurate, it offers an interesting glimpse at the sort of style many supporters appear eager to see when the club eventually unveils its 2026/27 kit range.
Supporters now wait for Macron’s reveal
Wrexham renewed their partnership with Macron in 2025, ensuring the Italian manufacturer remains responsible for future kit designs.
As a result, supporters will not have to wait too much longer before the club officially unveils its plans for the new season.
Until then, posts such as the one shared by Spirit of 78 will continue to fuel discussion.
Whether the teaser ultimately proves accurate or not, it has already achieved one thing: it has given Wrexham supporters another reason to get excited about the season ahead.
