Joao Gomes shares his thoughts on Wolves’ new 2025/26 home kit.
Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes has given his verdict on the club’s newly unveiled 2025/26 home shirt, and it’s safe to say he’s a big fan.
The 24-year-old Brazilian was a standout performer last season, making a name for himself as a relentless ball-winner in midfield.
Partnering with fellow countryman Andre, Gomes impressed throughout the campaign and finished with the third-highest number of tackles in the Premier League — only Daniel Munoz and Idrissa Gueye made more.
Former Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray has even tipped Gomes to become “one of the best,” underlining how highly he’s regarded at Molineux.
With a new season approaching, Gomes is setting his sights on fresh goals — and he’ll be doing so in a kit he’s proud to wear.
A nod to history: Wolves’ 2025/26 kit a hit with Gomes and fans
Wolves officially launched their 2025/26 home kit on Thursday, and it quickly won over fans with its bold, retro-inspired design. Paying tribute to the club’s iconic kits of the 1970s, the shirt was made available in stores on Friday, June 27.
To build excitement around the launch, Gomes was asked to share his thoughts on the design. The midfielder was particularly impressed by the V-shaped collar, even referencing football legend Pele as he admired the style.
“I really like this, you know,” Gomes said, pointing to the collar. “This is beautiful, and if you want to style it like Pele, this is perfect for me.”
With Gomes playing a pivotal role, Wolves will be hoping the new kit accompanies a successful 2025/26 campaign.
Pre-season plans and squad updates
The squad is expected to return for pre-season training in July, with new signing Fer Lopez eager to make his mark.
Wolves have confirmed four pre-season friendlies so far:
July 26: Stoke City (Away)
July 30: RC Lens (at Walsall’s Bescot Stadium)
August 3: Girona (Away)
August 9: Celta Vigo (Away)
Fans will be hoping that by the time Wolves kick off their pre-season schedule, several new additions will have arrived.
Head coach Gary O’Neil still has key positions to address, with reinforcements needed at centre-back, both wing-back roles, central midfield, attacking midfield, and up front.
Meanwhile, the club could save a significant sum if Nelson Semedo departs — a move that may further shape Wolves’ summer transfer business.
