Football memories

Watford in Premier League format

After their promotion in 2015, Watford managed to establish themselves in the top English league. In 2016–2017, they entered another survival season with ambitions of becoming a permanent fixture in the Premier League. The white away kit became part of the club's visual identity when they visited opponents around the country.

Deeney as captain and talisman

Troy Deeney remained the undisputed leader on the pitch, both as captain and club icon. Behind him were key players like Étienne Capoue, Heurelho Gomes in goal, and Juan Zúñiga with experience and technical flair. The squad didn't have the biggest stars, but it was characterised by a strong work ethic and collective effort.

A turbulent year at the bottom

The season offered both ups and downs, and although Watford avoided relegation, it was another year of managerial changes and uncertainty. Walter Mazzarri led the team to a 17th-place finish, but still had to leave his position at the end of the season. The away kit was used in several close matches where Watford fought for every point.

A rare kit manufacturer on the Premier League stage

This shirt was produced by Canadian Dryworld – a brand that only briefly featured in the European football scene. This makes this particular model special, as it was one of the few times Watford stepped onto the pitch in a Dryworld shirt with a clean, stylish white look and fine contrasting details.

Do you remember Deeney's leadership and the battles at the bottom? Then this shirt is for you.
