Wrexham AFC and Macron Unveil Wales-Inspired Away Kit

BUSINESS WIRE)--Hot on the heels of the launch of the Club's new red home kit, Wrexham AFC and Macron are proud to reveal the 2025/26 away kit, which will debut on the Wrexham Down Under Tour against Sydney FC tomorrow. Powerfully embodying our Welsh pride and the deep sense of belonging that ties us to Wrexham and North Wales, the 2025/26 away kit boasts a vibrant yellow base with a green polo collar – colours inspired by the daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Representing the first time we will have worn yellow-and-green shirts since the 1990s, the new away shirt features the Welsh flag on the rear collar and an internal green tape reading 'LAND OF MY FATHERS – HEN WLAD FY NHADAU' on the lower back. Wrexham AFC will be proudly representing Wales wherever we are in the world. Adding a distinctive touch, the front and sleeves are decorated with an elegant pinstripe pattern of fine vertical green lines, blending tradition with modern style. On the chest, both applied in heat-transferred silicone, the Macron Hero appears in green on the right, and the Wrexham AFC crest sits proudly on the left, close to the heart. The nape is personalised with a red label featuring the wording 'WREXHAM IS THE NAME' in white. Club partners United Airlines, HP and Meta Quest are boldly displayed on the front, sleeve and back of the shirt respectively. The Macron logo and the words 'Designed in Bologna' highlight that every garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus, the brand's headquarters in Italy. Completing the away kit are green shorts with yellow drawstrings, and yellow socks featuring fine horizontal green stripes and a green top with a central yellow band. The primary fabric used is Eco Softlock, while the addition of a back panel in Eco Micromesh and inserts in Eco Mesh ensure the shirt is lightweight and perfectly breathable. The new Wrexham AFC Away Kit is now available for purchase in the club's official stores and online at (for UK customers) and (for customers worldwide).

Macron will supply the club with the official team kit, replica kit, official training and travel wear, and will have the worldwide retail rights both online and wholesale to retailers, while Wrexham will continue to supply official replica kits and teamwear products, plus all other Wrexham branded products, exclusively in the UK through its official club shops and online. This renewal reinforces a long-standing nine-year partnership that was first established in 2016. The collaboration has yielded great success on and off the pitch for both Wrexham and Macron, with the Reds achieving three consecutive promotions from National League to the Championship, while Macron has grown to become a €220 million plus company. Accompanying the announcement today was the release of a short brand video on social media that captures the spirit and synergy between the Macron Hero brand and Wrexham 's unique Welsh history and heritage, now a global brand thanks to the success of the acclaimed docu-series Welcome to Wrexham. The partnership between Macron and Wrexham is founded on a shared vision of ambition, which has enabled the club to achieve extraordinary results on the pitch, supported by a technical partner that shares the same passion, innovation and commitment to quality. Macron is consistently dedicated to supporting dynamic community-based sports organisations and has accompanied Wrexham on a journey of growth that extends far beyond technical kit supply, becoming an integral part of the club's evolving story. Over the past nine years, the partnership has introduced cutting-edge technologies into the team's kits, placing a strong emphasis on design and visual identity, and promoting key values such as teamwork, determination and respect, all fundamental pillars for both Macron and Wrexham. Every shirt produced by Macron for the Red Dragons tells a story with the DNA of the club woven into the uniqueness of each kit. This will be the same for the 2025-26 season new kits which are set to be revealed in the coming weeks and worn for the first time on the Wrexham Down Under Tour 2025-26 in Australia and New Zealand. Michael Williamson, CEO of Wrexham AFC, said: 'We are very pleased to continue with Macron as our official technical kit supplier as we enter the second tier of the English Football League for the first time in 43 years. "Macron have partnered with us over the past nine years and have shown that they understand us as a club and brand, supporting both the club and its community on this remarkable journey that we are on together with our loyal fans. "We look forward to benefiting not only from their excellent design, manufacturing quality and sportswear technology, but also from their distribution reach now that Wrexham replica kits, training wear and apparel will be globally available to fans through major retail outlets in USA, Europe and Australia/New Zealand as well as online.' Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, said: 'What Wrexham have achieved in recent years has been remarkable. "We are thrilled to have been a part of it and to continue this sporting journey together. The interest, loyalty and overall engagement has grown steadily, driving us to create collections that truly reflect the passion for this shirt of both the players and the fans. "This is our philosophy – one we bring to our work every day and are proud to share with Wrexham, in a partnership that exemplifies how sport, passion and innovation can come together to create something truly special.'
