Wigan Athletic 2018-19 Away Shirt — Puma, the Championship Era
In 2018-19, Wigan Athletic battled in the Championship with a young, hungry squad and clear ambitions to stabilize in the English second division. This Puma away shirt sponsored by DW Fitness First is a direct witness to that season of struggle — an XL Boys size, clean, in 8/10 condition, just waiting for its place in a serious collection.

What this shirt represents
The 2018-19 season for Wigan Athletic was English Championship club life in all its brutality: intense matches week after week, a tight budget, and the obligation to perform against financially better-off opponents. The club, relegated to League One in 2013 after their glorious FA Cup victory, had returned to the Championship and was looking to establish itself there for the long term. This Puma away shirt carries in every stitch the spirit of a combative club, proud of its working-class roots in Wigan.
The sponsor DW Fitness First — formerly DW Sports, linked to Dave Whelan's group, a historical figure of the club — reminds us how much Wigan Athletic was an integrated project, conceived as a local ecosystem. Players like Nick Powell, a brilliant playmaker capable of unexpected technical flair, or Will Grigg, whose name still echoed in stadiums since Euro 2016 and the famous viral chant, wore this shirt with the conviction that every point snatched away from home was worth its weight in gold. The DW Stadium as their home, away trips as character tests — that's what this away shirt embodies.
Moments etched into this shirt
A high-pressure Championship season
The 2018-19 Championship was one of the most competitive in recent years, with clubs like Leeds United, Sheffield United, and Norwich City vying for promotion to the Premier League. Wigan Athletic had to navigate this dense pack to ensure its survival in the elite of English second-division football — no small feat.
Will Grigg, the man on fire
Will Grigg, who became a true pop icon thanks to the chant "Will Grigg's on Fire" during Euro 2016 with Northern Ireland, was one of the attractions of the Latics' attack. His reputation extended far beyond the Championship, and his name on the back of this Puma away shirt would have thrilled any opposing stand.
Nick Powell, the technical touch in midfield
A former Manchester United player, Nick Powell brought a technical quality above the league average. Capable of scoring from long range and creating for his teammates, he embodied the offensive potential of this Wigan Athletic determined to exist in the shadow of the Championship giants.
Authentic vs Replica
An authentic vintage shirt is fundamentally different from a modern reproduction. We're talking about a garment that actually existed in locker rooms, in the stands, in the daily lives of supporters of that era. The Puma finishes of this generation — the woven badges, the cut, the details of the printed or embroidered sponsors — are characteristic of a production that wasn't trying to look pretty for Instagram, but to dress people who truly loved their club.
This one displays an 8/10 condition, which in the world of vintage shirts is frankly honest and respectable. The DW Fitness First sponsor is clearly present and legible, the fabric structure holds up well. This isn't a shirt fresh out of its box in cellophane — it's a shirt that has lived, and that's precisely what gives it value in the eyes of a true football shirt collector.
Vintage Size Guide
A crucial point: vintage sizes do not correspond to current standards. An XL Boys from a 2018-19 Puma production can easily correspond to an adult Small or Medium size depending on body types. The cuts of that era were generally more fitted, designed for different silhouettes than the oversized shirts we see today. Do not order based solely on the label.
The most reliable method: take a shirt you wear regularly and that fits you well, lay it flat on a hard surface, and measure the width from shoulder to shoulder as well as the total length. Compare these measurements with those we provide before confirming your order. Two minutes of measuring are better than a complicated return.
Why have it in your collection
Wigan Athletic shirts don't flood the vintage market — far from it. It's a club with an authentic history, a surprising track record (their 2013 FA Cup victory remains one of the greatest upsets in the competition's history), and a strong identity that speaks to true lovers of English football in its rawest dimension. A Puma away shirt from their 2018-19 Championship season is an item that represents a specific era, an endearing club, a deep football culture.
In 8/10 condition, this shirt is in a state that many vintage pieces no longer achieve. There aren't many in this condition on the market, let's be clear. Serious collectors know it: a clean shirt, with its sponsor intact and its structure preserved, is rarely found at this level of quality for a club of this historical caliber. This isn't the kind of piece that waits long.
To go further
A Puma Wigan Athletic away shirt from the Championship, in 8/10 condition — if you're a fan of authentic English football, the decision shouldn't take long.
