WOLVES have been likened to a comedy movie villain after releasing a special edition shirt.
The Premier League club are famed for their unique gold shirts – the only professional team in England to wear that colour.
But now they have released a new shirt that is truly gold in honour of a match played 70 years ago.
Wolves are commemorating their ‘floodlit friendly’ win over Honved in 1954.
The 3-2 win over the Hungarian side, considered one of the best in Europe at the time, helped lead to the formation of the European Cup.
The kit pays homage to the unique strip wore in 1954, which was made from fluorescent material to allow the players to reflect the floodlights, which were a rarity at the time.
Fans can buy the limited edition shirt for £60, with a special gift box including additional memorabilia available for £125.
It is fitted with a classic thick collar and every inch is a solid gold colour, including the Wolves badge.
Fans have been reacting to the design with some likening it to Austin Powers baddie Goldmember.
Another reacted saying: “That shirt is amazing.”
A third wrote: “That is a pretty smart top 👏👏”
And another commented: “100 times better than their regular home shirt this season.”
