The fabled 'Old Gold' is just that fabled the shirts from the 1921 final were closer to yellow than they were gold in colour.
1939-1949 was the closest we ever came to playing in what is considered Old Gold ,oh and 2001/2!

I don't know why 'Old Gold' necessarily got mentioned in this thread as the thread was just about an old shirt. However, it did get me thinking, especially as this shirt doesn't appear to have any 'Old Gold' in it. So I started looking back at the history.

Wolves 'glory years' were certainly associated with the colour but I've also got it documented that the colours of 'Old Gold and Black' were first introduced in 1891, to represent the colours of the Wolverhampton Coat of Arms ( I already knew that bit). It is also documented that previous to this our colours were 'Blue and white' and then 'Red and White' verticle stripes.

However, just to try and satisfy my own mind, I've looked long and hard at the Wolverhampton Coat of Arms and still can't be completely satisfied that the 'Gold' that represents 'light' is actually 'Old Gold'.

There's nothing that i find amusing more than the Express and Star having an article that was announced on the 10th of this month.

I've noticed quite a range of colors pass as "Old Gold," from the yellow of that 1921 shirt through the more recent one pictured above, which appears to my retina as a kind of dingy orange. Not so far off from the colors of my alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin, which they call burnt orange:



Burnt orange comes in a range of different shades too.

So tell me, or better yet show me: Which the real Old Gold?
