Wrexham players will sport a new look when they take to the field versus Crawley Town this weekend.
The Red Dragons are looking to bounce back on Saturday afternoon when they face Crawley Town in a 3pm BST kick-off at the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham lost 3-1 against Birmingham City on Monday evening, suffering their first defeat of the 2024/25 League One season.
It was a big blow for Phil Parkinson and his men, who could now slip off top spot if results do not go their way this weekend.
Birmingham are level on points with the newly-promoted side but do have a game in hand, meaning they can become league leaders if they draw or win their extra fixture.
As a result, when Wrexham take on Crawley on Saturday, they have to pick up three points to remain at the summit for the time being.
Why Wrexham are wearing a different kit vs Crawley Town
Despite playing on home soil versus Crawley, Wrexham will not don their traditional red home strip for the match.
Instead, they will wear a special-edition version of their black away kit for a very touching reason.
The change of kit is to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Gresford Colliery Disaster.
On September 22nd, 1934, an explosion in the Dennis section of the Gresford mine resulted in 266 men losing their lives.
As a result, Wrexham’s kit this weekend will feature a special patch to commemorate the anniversary.
The patch includes a mining lamp, with a stylised 90 – featuring a pit wheel – and the year of the disaster, 1934.
