Wolverhampton Wanderers- Cartoon Champions


14/24 of Cartoon Champions we wander onto Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club  commonly known as @wolves Formed as St. Luke's FC in 1877. Wolves were one of the founding members of the Football league in 1888. Wolves' traditional kit consists of old gold shirts and socks and black shorts. Since 1979 the kit has also featured the club's "wolf's head" badge. The club's traditional colours of gold and black allude to the city council's motto "out of darkness cometh light" with the two colours representing light and darkness respectively. Although the team's original colours upon formation were red and white, adopted from the school colours of St Luke's, for much of their history their home colours have been their distinctive old gold shirts with black shorts.

Like most English teams, their earliest shirts usually only featured a badge on special occasions such as cup finals. The first such badge to be worn on Wolves shirts was the coat of arms of Wolverhampton City Council . In the late 1960s, Wolves introduced their own club badge that appeared on their shirts consisting of a single leaping wolf, which later became three leaping wolves in the mid-1970s. Since 1979 the badge has consisted of a single "wolf head" design; the current badge was last redesigned in 2002. With that in mind, I created this illustration of a wolf leaping out with the same shape wolf head with more detail. This was quite interesting to do as it was one of the more simple design crests through its history so not a lot to work with but a lot of room for creativity but I did include the right-angled approach where I could.
