Watford FC is proud to unveil a very special kit, for a very special fan.
The kit – available to pre-order now - marks the start of our celebrations as we approach the 50th anniversary of Elton John becoming Chairman of his boyhood club in 1976.
Our beloved Honorary Life President has been heavily involved in the design of this unique collectors’ item, which is inspired by his Diamonds album artwork.
Elton cheered Watford on from the terraces from the age of six – when we still played in blue.
In true fairytale fashion, he went on to mastermind the club’s rise from the Fourth Division to second place in the top-flight in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
European football and an FA Cup final followed to boot, and it would be fair to say that Elton changed the trajectory and future of the club forever.
The shirt is made from a bespoke polyester knit with a star design sublimation. The Watford crest and Kelme logos are in contrasting silver and on the hem is the ‘Happy Hornet’ badge which was the club crest when Elton became Chairman.
The collar and sleeve cuffs feature more stars - synonymous with Elton’s styling - and on the reverse is an embossed print of one of Elton’s most famous song lyrics, “Your Song”.
Complementing the shirt are silver shorts, again made from bespoke polyester, with E* taping running down both sides.
The silver WFC crest features on the shorts, along with a contrasting Kelme logo.
On-pitch, players’ shirts will feature sponsorship from MrQ, the University of Hertfordshire and KOKA, although once again the shirt will also be available to buy unbranded for those fans who prefer it this way.
The Elton John kit is available from age 7-8 years through to adult 4XL, including a dedicated women's fit up to UK size 18.
All shirts come packaged in a special edition gift box.
