Wolves and Shrewsbury Town fans can get a proper up-close look at how their sides would have looked in 1900 as part of a museum's costume project.
The historic Wolves and Shrewsbury kits have been recreated by the team at Blists Hill Museum
Using historic images, archive footage and insights from club historians, the trust’s costume makers have reproduced the kits worn by the both squads in 1900, reflecting how they would have been recognisable to match-going fans of the era. But the kits might not look immediately familiar to today's fans, with the 1900 Wolves players lining up in gold and black stripes, instead of the familiar gold shirts.
Ensuring that the kits are in line with FA regulations of the day – which required players' knees to be covered, matching pairs of long shorts have been created as well as traditional caps, which were worn throughout the early 1900s. “Over the last few weeks, myself and our team of volunteers have been sourcing fabrics to ensure that the kits are as historically accurate as we can make them, crafting our patterns and constructing the kits by hand.
