Hit or miss? Wrexham fans give opinions on new third kit
The Reds are set to compete in the EFL Championship for the season ahead, having enjoyed three consecutive promotions.
On Thursday (July 31), the club, along with Macron and United, revealed the club's 2025/26 third kit - a striking tribute to the Welsh community in Patagonia on the 160th anniversary of the first settlers' arrival.
Inspired by the flag of Y Wladfa, the Welsh settlement in Argentina, the new design celebrates the enduring cultural ties between Wales and Patagonia - home to the largest Welsh-speaking community outside of Wales.
The kit launch was accompanied by a new short film from Wrexham AFC and United, featuring two choirs - one perched on a cliff in Wales, the other in Patagonia - singing 'Yma o Hyd' ('We're still here'), a Welsh folk anthem of resilience and pride.
Many fans got in touch to share their views on the new kit with us this week.
Thomas Jones said: "Looks like the Pumas rugby kit."
Pauline Vickers told us: "Not for me! Yes I get the 'historical' reference before anyone says!"
Laurie Carruthers added: "I like the sentiment of the design but it looks like pyjamas. Video was brilliant though."
Derek Roberts said: "Horrible, looks washed out."

Richard Morris said: "It's a great nod to other Welsh settlements with Patagonia the most prominent."
Rufus Roberts said: "History always tells a story - you all know the rest!"
Zoe Jones told us: "Nice to have a connection with the Welsh settlement in Patagonia."
Dean Owen said: "I'm a Swansea Jack resident in Wrexham and I think it's fantastic. I wish the Swans had had the nerve to do this in recognition of Patagonia and if Wrexham fans cannot get behind that then words fail me!"
Mark Galloway added: "A clever bit of marketing trying to tap into a football-mad country. These boys are money making machines. It is Global Reds now not just little Wrexham."
