Wolverhampton Wanderers wore this home shirt across the 2006/07 and 2007/08 campaigns, a period of rebuilding under Mick McCarthy as the club worked towards a return to the Premier League.
McCarthy arrived in July 2006, inheriting a squad that had undergone significant changes following the departure of several established players. Wolves began the 2006/07 season with modest expectations but gradually developed into promotion contenders.
The squad featured players including Michael Kightly, Seyi Olofinjana, Karl Henry, Jody Craddock, Stephen Ward and goalkeeper Matt Murray, with several emerging talents establishing themselves in the first team.
Wolves finished fifth in the Championship with 76 points, securing a place in the promotion play-offs. However, their campaign ended against local rivals West Bromwich Albion, who secured a 4–2 aggregate victory in the semi-finals.
Olofinjana finished as the club's leading goalscorer with ten goals across all competitions, while Kightly's performances on the wing earned considerable recognition.
The following campaign brought significant changes off the pitch, with businessman Steve Morgan completing his takeover of Wolves in August 2007. McCarthy continued to reshape the squad, with players including Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Kevin Foley and Wayne Hennessey becoming increasingly important figures.
Ebanks-Blake arrived from Plymouth Argyle in January 2008 and made an immediate impact, contributing goals as Wolves attempted to secure another play-off place. Despite remaining competitive throughout the campaign, Wolves finished seventh in the Championship with 70 points, narrowly missing out on the top six.
The two seasons proved important in establishing the foundations for the club's subsequent success, with several members of McCarthy's developing squad playing influential roles in the following campaign. Wolves went on to win the Championship title in 2008/09, securing promotion to the Premier League after a five-year absence.
Produced by Le Coq Sportif, the 2006–08 Wolves home shirt featured the club's traditional old-gold design with contrasting black detailing and the Chaucer sponsor. Worn during McCarthy's first two seasons in charge, the shirt represents a period of transition that laid the foundations for Wolves' eventual return to the Premier League.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.
Our condition guide

Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.

Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.

6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
