The Toronto Wolfpack revealed the final piece of the 2020 squad on Wednesday, lifting the curtain on the black and white kits that they’ll wear in their first Super League season.
After a year away from the design, the popular ‘wolf head’ look is back on the front of both kits. It’s more angular than before, mimicing the team’s logo, and isn’t the silhouette that it was in previous years.
While the team kept the horizontal stripes from the 2019 campaign, they altered them a bit. Instead of four blocks of tightly-packed stripes, they run the full length of the jersey, only interrupted by the wolf head. The drastic black and white contrast is gone, replaced with grey.
While the white jerseys have kept the red highlights, they’ve moved them from mid-to-lower sleeve with no stripe across the chest. The black jerseys feature the most substantial change, as the trim has changed from white to gold.
The kits feature seven logos from sponsors, with the biggest change being the location of the Air Transat logo. The team’s lone international travel partner was front and centre last year. In 2020 they occupy the left shoulder.
Instead, the front now features the Rugby Strength logo. The team launched the all-natural, CBD-infused cream in October, and are clearly making a concerted effort to market the project.
For fans of the team’s red alternate jersey’s, there was no announcement of a third kit made on Wednesday. If the team elects for the third kit and follows the same strategy as last year however, expect the tease and unveiling to come closer to Canada day. The reds have typically become the team’s stretch run and playoff kit.
The team has announced that they’ll be wearing these throughout the preseason, beginning January 19.
