True Colours: Wolves' Play-Off Winning Kit
Wolverhampton Wanderers ended a 19-year exile from the English top flight by winning promotion from the First Division in 2002/03.
In the club's 104th year of competitive football, Wolves were entering a 14th straight season in the second tier, under the management of Dave Jones.
Wearing a traditional, 'old gold' shirt, the 2002/03 kit veered away from the usual gold socks, introducing a black shorts and socks combination, which would continue until 2008.
Long-standing shirt sponsor Goodyear were replaced by crisps brand Doritos, while kit manufacturers Admiral took over from Wolves Leisure, who produced the previous incarnation, worn between 2000 and 2002.
It was also the first season of the club's new badge, an adaptation of their 'wolf's head' crest, which has been a staple feature, in various guises, on the shirt and shorts since 1979.
This new edition would become fondly remembered for the success that followed, as Jones guided the club back to the promised land.
They had come close to a Premier League return in the previous season, finishing third in 2001/02 before losing to Norwich City in the play-off semi-final.
Jones added experience to his squad, including the signings of former Manchester United duo, Denis Irwin and Paul Ince, with the latter named as captain. Both would go on to play pivotal roles, featuring 43 and 37 times respectively over the course of the league season.
Defender Marc Edworthy and Ívar Ingimarsson also joined the squad, signing on free transfers, while several young talents such as Joleon Lescott and Lee Naylor enjoyed successful seasons at the club.
Wolves surged to the top of the table after four games, winning three consecutive matches following an opening day draw with Bradford City.
However, just one win from the next seven fixtures threatened to derail the season, before loan signing Carlton Cole aided Wolves' resurgence, as they went on a 10-game unbeaten streak.
Wolves also enjoyed cup success, beating Premier League outfit Newcastle United in an FA Cup Third Round tie, before successive victories over Leicester and then Rochdale led to progression into the quarter-finals.
The run would end with a 2-0 defeat by eventual finalists, Southampton, in the last eight, the first time in five years that Wolves had reached that stage of the competition.
Back to league matters, a 4-0 thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough - the team's biggest away victory of the campaign - returned Wolves to the play-off positions in early February and they would soon embark on a run of 14 points from a possible 18.
After the FA Cup exit, Wanderers recorded their biggest margin of victory since 1988, hitting Gillingham 6-0 at Molineux, with Mark Kennedy and Kenny Miller grabbing two goals apiece during a whirlwind 11-minute spell either side of half-time.
Wolves confirmed their play-off place with a 3-0 victory over Norwich - the team that had denied them a shot at glory in the previous seasons' play-off final.
They soon ended the regular campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Foxes, in front of a season-high crowd of 28,190 at Molineux, as Trevor Benjamin's 86th-minute penalty cancelled out Miller's opener.
Miller would go on to top score for the West Midlanders in 2002/03, finding the net 19 times in the league and 24 in all competitions.
Wolves finished the season in fifth position, on 76 points, ahead of facing fourth-placed Reading in the semi-final.
Despite going behind to Nicolas Forster's strike, a late rally turned the first leg around, thanks to a Graeme Murty own goal and Naylor's winner.
The return tie, at Madejski Stadium, was settled in the 81st minute by Alex Rae, to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory and a place in the final.
Facing Sheffield United at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wolves produced one of their best performances of the season to lift the play-off trophy and return to the Premier League.
The Blades, who had reached both the FA Cup and League Cup semi-finals, and maintained a top six position throughout the season, were blown away by a dominant Wolves side.
The game was all but over in the first half, courtesy of Kennedy, Nathan Blake and Miller adding their names to the scoresheet before the break.
Matt Murray, named the club's Young Player of the Season, then saved a second-half penalty from Michael Brown to preserve the clean sheet and a 3-0 scoreline.
Wolves' joy was short lived, however, as their first season back in the top flight ended with relegation to the Championship.
Wearing the same strip as in their promotion campaign, Wanderers finished bottom of the pile, though level on 33 points with fellow relegated teams Leeds United and Leicester.
