Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that ‘all replica shirts have gone off sale’ following several complaints about the kits’ quality.
The home and away jerseys, which are produced by the Danish sports supplier, Hummel, went on sale last month after the club confirmed their new five-year contract with the European clothing manufacturer.
🏬 #Chairboys regret to learn of manufacturing challenges with the new replica shirts supplied by hummel, and assure supporters that every effort is being made to rectify these challenges and guarantee the highest possible standards going forward.

Initially met with enthusiasm and excitement amongst the fanbase following the announcement back in June, the kits were not available to be purchased until August following a delay in shipping.

Once they were made accessible for sale in the club shop, many supporters have since noticed that the Hummel logo would fall off after a handful of washes.
Those who were impacted by this shared images of the damaged kits on social media.

Prior to going with Hummel, Wycombe had their kits supplied by O’Neill’s between 2016 and 2023.
