Swans unveil limited edition commemorative kit to be worn in Easter Monday QPR fixture

April marks three decades since manager Frank Burrows led the Swans to the penalty shootout triumph over the Terriers and the new kit – which will be worn for the Easter Monday fixture against Queens Park Rangers – is directly modelled on the iconic jersey the Swans sported on that April afternoon in 1994.

The likes of Jason Bowen, John Cornforth, Colin Pascoe and Kwame Ampadu were amongst the fans’ favourites to don the strip during that era. On Monday it will be worn by the latest generation led by captain Matt Grimes and derby day heroes Liam Cullen and Jamal Lowe.

The club have announced that the jersey will be available to buy online and in-store from 9.30am tomorrow (Thursday, March 28). Only a limited number are being manufactured so supporters are encouraged to purchase early to avoid disappointment. 

The design features Gulf on the front of shirt, just as the original 1994 jersey did. Swansea Building Society take pride of place on the back of the shirt. 

The white shirt features the club crest from the early 1990s on the left side of the chest, with the Joma logo on the right. There are black elements on the shoulders, and black and red patterning on the sleeves. 

The inside of the collar bears an inscription with the date and fixture details from the Autoglass Trophy final. The white shorts and white socks also feature black and red trim. 

Joma’s design is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester, with the aim to stop ocean pollution and eliminate plastic waste through the development of recycled products, aligning with the club’s own drive to be increasingly sustainable. 

The fabric provides excellent breathability thanks to the state-of-the-art micromesh finish, while Joma’s flatlock seam system provides elasticity and freedom of movement. 

In addition to the jersey, have also a limited number of anthem jackets – once again inspired by their 1994 equivalent – available to purchase. 

The black and white design is a nod to that worn by the Swans players and staff at Wembley on that historic day.
