As Season 27 comes to a close, Wonder Peppers Football Club is also excited to announce the launch of their set of kits for Season 28. The home shirt will be worn in friendlies in the coming days, with the away and third shirts debuting in the new season.
The home shirt for this season features more muted versions of our traditional light blue and orange home colors. This is to contrast the transition to the slightly darker blue used in the graphic that runs down the front of the shirt. The graphic in particular is the path of the lower third of the Connecticut River as it finds its way to the Long Island Sound. In addition, the slightly different orange color is actually representative of the reddish soils of the region due to red Triassic sandstone and shale underneath. The rounded font, in lowercase, was chosen to evoke the many water mills that originally jumpstarted industry and growth along the river’s path. Finally, the right shirt sleeve features this season’s partner, Patagonia, who we are partnering with as part of our environmental friendly and conscious club initiatives.


Our away shirt is much more geometric than the flowing line design of the home shirt. This number is fronted by a repeating pattern of squares, a nod to the textile industry. The gradient-like color scheme, starting from the golden yellow in the top left descending through orange, red, and finally brown are evocative of the quintessential New England fall, with the hues of leaf colors falling down the spectrum to the bottom of the shirt. This shirt is sporting our sponsor Patagonia on the front, another nod to the importance of nature around the club.


Finally, our third shirt is a simple, yet classy display of our three colors of red, orange, and green. Their presence wrapping around the front and back, as well as on the collar, sleeve, and hem trims represents how our fans and players carry the Peppers’ fiery spirit everywhere they go. The white base and collar are also nods to sailors’ uniforms and those who travel the Long Island Sound, both of which are prominent pieces of the region’s history. Finally, the top of the back of the shirt has a small version of our simpler older logo.


Thanks to everyone, and good luck in the season ahead!
