Warrington Wolves 2013 Away Shirt

A chromatic heresy from the Wolves: green, white and red trims at a club that has worn primrose and blue forever. The clue lives on the chest: the Magners patch, the Irish cider, points to an Irish themed alternate, with Brookson writ large, the University of Chester beside the maker's mark and Warrington Fabrications on the shoulders, all signed by ISC, the Australian brand dressing half the Super League in those years.

And 2013 caught the Wolves at the peak of the Tony Smith era: they had lifted the Challenge Cup at Wembley in 2012 and would reach that year's Grand Final, lost to Wigan at Old Trafford.

Here at Hoopster, it enters through the narrowest door: when a club that isn't green wears green hoops just once, the archive gives thanks.
