Wydad AC Anniversary Jersey 2025/26: White Collector's Kit

The Wydad AC anniversary jersey 2025/26 is the most distinctive shirt in the Wydad lineup this season in Morocco. Released to mark the club's 88-year history as one of Africa's most decorated clubs, this white Kappa edition stands apart from the standard home and away jerseys through a striped polo collar, Hydro-way Protection fabric, and a collector's design meant to be worn long after the season ends. If you want a Wydad shirt that carries the weight of the club's story rather than just a match-day kit, this is the one.

The Story: Why Wydad Released a Separate Anniversary Jersey

Wydad Athletic Club was founded in Casablanca on 24 May 1937, making it one of the oldest clubs in Moroccan and African football. Over the decades the Reds have claimed multiple Botola Pro titles and CAF Champions League crowns, building one of the continent's most passionate fanbases.

For 2025/26 Kappa produced this anniversary edition alongside the standard home and away shirts. The design aims for a shirt that honours the founding era: a white base, striped polo collar, and Hydro-way Protection fabric that make it distinct from every other Wydad jersey of the season. The result is a shirt you can wear to the stadium in Casablanca or out in Rabat without it looking like pure match kit.

Unlike the traditional home shirt with its red and white stripes and crew neck, the anniversary edition reads as both a football shirt and a collector's casual piece. That dual use is a big part of its appeal to supporters who already own the home jersey and want something different from the same range.

Design and Fabric: Every Detail Explained

Here are the key construction details of the anniversary edition, taken directly from the product page:

• Base colour: White — sets it apart immediately from the red home kit and from the plain crew-neck white regular away jersey
• Collar: Striped polo collar with elastic ribbing — the shirt's most distinctive design feature; unlike the crew neck on the home and away jerseys
• Technology: Hydro-way Protection — moisture-wicking, quick-dry polyester used across the 2025/26 Wydad range
• Printing: Sublimated — the pattern is dyed directly into the fabric, not screen-printed on top; sublimated prints do not crack or peel with washing at 30°C
• Fit: Player version — slim, athletic cut, longer at the hem than a casual shirt
• Cuffs and hem: Elastic ribbing throughout
• Season: 2025/26

Wydad 2025/26 Complete Kit Comparison

Wydad released more shirts for 2025/26 than in any recent season. Here is how the anniversary edition sits alongside the full range available at Zone11Kits:

At 279 MAD, the anniversary edition costs the same as every home and away jersey. The only premium item is the training jacket at 499 MAD. If you already own the home jersey and want a second Wydad shirt that looks visually different, the anniversary edition gives you collector value at the same price point. Two white shirts in the range — the away and the anniversary — look different enough to buy both: the away has a crew neck, the anniversary has the polo collar.

What Is the Polo Collar and Who Wears It Best

The polo collar is the question most buyers ask before ordering this shirt. Here is the practical difference from the standard crew neck:

A crew neck (on all Wydad home and away jerseys) sits flat around the collarbone with no standing collar. A polo collar stands up slightly at the neck, like a classic polo shirt, with a short button placket at the throat. Kappa used elastic ribbing rather than a hard collar on the anniversary edition, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods whether you are in the stands at Stade Mohammed V or walking through Casablanca's streets.

Who benefits most from the polo collar? Supporters who want a shirt they can wear to a dinner, a family occasion, or on the street without looking like they are in full match kit. The polo collar elevates the jersey into something that layers well under a jacket. It also has strong nostalgic appeal for older supporters who remember Wydad kits from the 1970s and 1980s, when polo collars were the standard football shirt design.

Sizes, Fit and Practical Guidance

The anniversary jersey uses the player-version template across all sizes. Player version means a slim, close-to-the-body athletic cut. Here is the size guide from the product page:

If you are between sizes, choose the larger one. If you plan to wear the shirt loosely over a t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt — the way most supporters wear kits in Morocco outside the stadium — size up by one from your usual size. Fit is the most common reason for exchange requests, so this guidance is worth following before you order.

Adding a Name and Number (Customization)

Customization — printing a player name and number on the back — is available on the anniversary jersey. The process: a 50% advance payment by bank transfer is required before the order goes into production. Delivery for a customized shirt takes 3 to 5 additional days on top of the standard 24–48h window. Contact the team via WhatsApp with the name and number you want. Once printing has been applied, the shirt cannot be returned or exchanged.

Is the anniversary jersey the same price as the home jersey?

Yes. Both are 279 MAD in all sizes S to 2XL. The difference is purely in the design: polo collar and white base for the anniversary edition versus crew neck and red and white stripes for the home jersey.

How is the anniversary jersey different from the regular away jersey?

Both are white, but they are visually distinct. The away jersey has a crew neck and is designed as a match kit for away games. The anniversary edition has a striped polo collar and a specific commemorative pattern tied to the club's founding. You can tell them apart immediately by the collar and the pattern.

Can I add a player name and number to the anniversary jersey?

Yes. Customization requires a 50% advance payment by bank transfer and adds 3 to 5 days to delivery. Contact us via WhatsApp to start the order. Customized shirts cannot be returned.

Does the anniversary jersey come in long sleeve?

No. The 2025/26 anniversary edition is only available in short sleeve.
