Well if it was made by Recon and the price undercut other clubs by a fair bit then that would.

You are right though I want to see what is happening.

Dr Tony has found a seller on AliExpress that can do the current shirts for half the price, though we have to order now for next season as shipping takes forever.

There is also a cheap , possibly racist , gag in there about  A Chinese person and armour but I'll leave you to work that one out - suffice to say the contract was ripped up because of a weakness in it?

Recon Smart Sports was formed in November.  Will that be the vehicle for shirt manufacturing?

It's going to be Recon isn't it.

West Brom, Roma and Southampton have all manufactured their own shirts, off the top of my head.

Well at least it will be smart.

Maybe the shorts will transmit shocks to under performing players.

Bristol City too - the manufacturer logo is of 'Bristol Sport' the umbrella brand for the 'sporting club' of Bristol City, Bristol Rugby, Netball et al.

Easy to laugh at the prospect of Recon making our shirts but as one other poster (at least) has mentioned, if it happens it probably would be a clever way for us to get around FFP (£85m contract, anyone?).

People would probably ask questions, but at the end of the day if Wolves can get away with being part-owned by an Agent, we can probably be forgiven for finding a smart way around FFP...

A successful team is the most important thing.

If it's Recon I don't mind too much. I could see Dr Tony taking fans opinions into account when it comes to design.

If they are made well then it's not a big deal.

Might even buy one if the crest was changed.

Recon  8)
