Wrexham AFC have revealed the new home kit to be worn for the 2019/20 season.

With kit manufacturers Macron designing once again for a fourth season, the ‘Alhena’ strip was chosen by fans who are also the club’s owners.

The shirt is in the traditional red of Wrexham and has a distinctive white neck trim with thin detailed vertical stripes.

AEC Engineering Ltd are the back of shirt sponsor and Peter Gwyn & Sons Potatoes are the sleeve sponsor.





Ifor Williams Trailers are again on the front of shirt as main sponsors for the fourth season running, with the company having signed a new two-year sponsorship deal.

Also back for 2019-20 are Wrexham Lager who are be sponsoring the new freshly designed white shorts that are complimented by new bespoke white socks with a red trim.

The new kits are available to supporters online and in store from today, with the shirt priced at £39.99 for adult sizes and £34.99 for juniors, shorts will be £19.99 adults and £17.99 junior while the socks will be £9.99 adults and £7.99 for junior sizes.

First team captain Shaun Pearson, Wrexham AFC Women midfielder Kim Dutton and academy graduates Jack Thorn and Matthew Sargent were on hand to model the kit for the launch.

The club said, “As work is taking place on the playing surface at the Racecourse, the kit was launched at a very special place to Wrexham AFC, the Gresford Mining Disaster Memorial. Gresford Colliery and the subsequent tragedy that took place are remembered each season by the club and its supporters. With the Racecourse out of action temporally, it was fitting that the iconic headgear wheel offered a beautiful and stunning backdrop for the launch.”

Wrexham AFC Women will also wear the new kit next season and Kim was impressed with the design saying: “The shirts are really nice. It fits me really well and the new Macron logos look great. We are all really proud to wear the kit as we represent Wrexham AFC as a senior side. We’ve done really well in this our first season and we are hoping to cap it off in the next couple of games with another trophy and hopefully a promotion!”

Shaun Pearson was also impressed, he said: “I really like the kit. It’s a lot different to last seasons actually. The shirt looks great with all the logos on and we really appreciate the support from the local businesses.

“At this level, as a club, we need people like Ifor Williams, AEC Engineering, Peter Gwyn Potatoes and Wrexham Lager to get behind us. For them all to show such loyalty and come back again for another year, its fantastic.

“It’s great to see Kim and the two lads coming up from the Under 18’s, Matty and Jack in the kit too. All three of them have had great seasons and it’s fitting that they are here to do this launch with us today.”

Jack Thorn added: “The kit was voted in by the fans and that’s really important. I think they’ll like it even more when they see it in the flesh.”

Fellow graduate Matthew Sargent said: “Its fantastic to be launching a new kit and to be here today at such a local landmark. I like the kit a lot, its the first time I have worn it and it feels great.”

Wrexham AFC would like to also thank Gresford Colliery Sports & Social Club for allowing us to use the venue and for their kind assistance during the launch.
