Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that they will wear a unique one-off home shirt for their Good Friday match against Plymouth Argyle.
The fixture on April 15 will see the Chairboys don a special blue and yellow kit to show their solidarity with the Ukrainian civilians and residents, following the country’s invasion by neighbouring Russia in February.
The kits will not be made for purchase, but they will be signed and auctioned off to raise funds for associated charitable causes.

Chairman Rob Couhig said: “While we all get caught up in the excitement and drama of a promotion race, we have to keep in mind that some things are more important than football and we all have a duty to do what we can for those who are in times of need.

“We are grateful to O’Neills for working with us and getting the kits to us as quickly as possible, to enable us to wear them at a prestigious fixture in the League 1 promotion race, and then make them available for fans to buy with the proceeds going to help the victims of the terrible conflict in Ukraine.”
It's the second time this season that Wycombe has released a special kit.
The club are proud to be supporting #RainbowLaces.
