About Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers are one of English football's great clubs, a proud West Midlands institution dressed in the beautiful old gold and black that has graced the top of the English game since the Victorian era. Founded in 1877, Wolves were one of the dominant forces in English football during the 1950s, winning three First Division titles in six years and pioneering European competition through legendary floodlit friendlies against Real Madrid and Honved. The modern era has brought a dramatic Premier League revival and some of the most striking kits in English football. Founded in 1877, Wolverhampton Wanderers play at Molineux Stadium (capacity around 32,000) in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. They compete in the Premier League. Key honours include 3 First Division titles (1954, 1958, 1959), 4 FA Cup wins, and a League Cup win. Nicknamed Wolves, they wear old gold and black. Wolverhampton Wanderers' old gold and black kits are among the most distinctive and beloved in English football. The 1950s Championship era shirts, worn when Billy Wright led Wolves to three league titles and the club pioneered European football with famous floodlit friendlies, are iconic pieces of football history. The Admiral kits of the 1970s brought a bolder interpretation of the gold and black. The modern Nike and Adidas eras have continued to celebrate the old gold identity that makes Wolves shirts immediately recognisable on any pitch in the world.
