Wrexham FC has stirred up some chatter by selling England World Cup hats in their club shop, and opinions are flying! With the club co-owned by Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds, fans are divided over whether this is a savvy move or a classic “own goal.”
The controversial white baseball caps feature Wrexham’s insignia on the front and a St George’s Cross on the side, sparking a range of reactions. Some call it a “meltdown,” while others wonder what all the fuss is about. After all, the shop’s collection also includes caps adorned with flags from Argentina, New Zealand, Thailand, and even Reynolds’ own homeland, Canada.
One fan couldn’t believe their eyes, joking: “Please tell me this is an AI wind up.” Meanwhile, others aren’t as ruffled, with an English Wrexham supporter commenting: “I’m English and I live in Wrexham. What’s the big deal?”
The caps are priced at £25, but interestingly, the England versions are only available in-store, while other national caps, like those from Sweden, Australia, Finland, and Greece, are available online.
Whether you see it as a clever nod to Wrexham’s global fanbase or a head-scratching choice, it’s certainly got people talking! What’s your take on the hat debate? 🤔🔴⚽️
