Don’t miss out on the chance to snap-up a one-off Wimbledon kit that’ll be remembered for years to come.
Yes, there’s extra incentive to pop into our Club Shop tomorrow (open from 11 am) with an opportunity to get your hands on a Dons kit with special significance.
The kits, inspired by Warm & Wonderful’s iconic “black sheep” sweater, will be worn by our players during the pre-match warm-up for the Harrogate game.
Proceeds raised from limited edition sales, as well as an auction organised by our partners MatchWornShirt, will be donated to two charities: War Child, a charity that has been helping children affected by conflict since 1993, and the AFC Wimbledon Foundation, which provides sporting opportunities for people of all ages in our local community.
The shirts (priced at £90) will be on sale in the Club Shop (opens at 11 am) complete with special commemorative boxes, and they will also be available online. These will be in the same sizes as our current Umbro kits.
An event tonight held by Classic Football Shirts in Shoreditch will officially launch the shirts, before they are worn by our players in the build-up to the Harrogate game. Then a slightly tweaked version of this kit will be worn by our squad for the actual match.
In addition to the shirt sales, an auction on MatchWornShirt is now live with celebrity signed shirts from Phil Dunster, Dave Beasant, John Green, the Warm and Wonderful designers: Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir, and Miles Jacobson (Studio Director of Sports Interactive).
More celebrity signed shirts will be added to the auction in the coming days and all the players’ MatchWornShirts will be added at kick off.
The design of the one-off shirt is a result of a close collaboration between Warm & Wonderful founders Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne, who first created the iconic “Black Sheep” motif in 1979; Jack Carlson of the cult clothing brand Rowing Blazers, who helped bring Warm & Wonderful back into business in 2019; and AFC Wimbledon Branding and Digital Transformation Lead Marc Jones.
