Albion will proudly wear poppy-adorned shirts during the upcoming Sky Bet Championship fixtures against Hull City and Southampton.
The Baggies will play in their traditional navy blue and white stripes for both fixtures, with Carlos Corberán’s men hosting Hull on Saturday, November 4 (ko 3pm) before travelling south to take on the Saints at St Mary’s on Saturday, November 11 (ko 3pm).
Both sets of jerseys will be made available to purchase via online auctions. All profits will head to The Royal British Legion. Details of how Albion supporters can secure a poppy shirt are available below.
Hull City
Saturday’s clash with the Tigers will be the club’s annual dedicated remembrance fixture.
Albion have planned a number of remembrance activities ahead of kick-off.
All players, staff and fans from both teams will observe a minute’s silence which will include the playing of the Last Post, with both club captains placing a wreath in the centre circle.
We will be joined by a number of cadets from 481 (West Bromwich) squadron who will be collecting donations for the Royal British Legion.
A verse from the poem “In Flanders Field” will also be read out by one of the cadets shortly before the match starts.
The Baggies will wear poppy-emblazoned shirts for the clash, which will be available to supporters via an online auction.
The bidding will go live HERE once the game has started on Saturday, November 4 (3pm) and end just over two weeks later, on Sunday, November 19 at 1pm.
Southampton
Albion will also be wearing poppy-adorned home shirts for the trip to Southampton the following weekend.
The auction for these jerseys will go live at kick-off on Saturday, November 11 (3pm) and will end on Sunday, December 3 at 1pm.
Supporters can bid for shirts worn against Southampton HERE.
The Poppy | A symbol of hope and remembrance
The poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and for those who continue to defend and improve our way of life today.
This resilient flower flourished in the midst of destruction, becoming a symbol of hope and a peaceful future.
