United Airlines has debuted its new limited-edition Wrexham AFC amenity kits and pyjamas to celebrate the football team’s recent promotion to League One and continued surge in global popularity with the Emmy award-winning show “FX’s Welcome to Wrexham”.
These items are part of the airline’s broader Wrexham AFC sponsorship, which includes being the front of shirt sponsor for the men’s and women’s team and sponsoring Wrexham’s pre-season North American tour.
Starting June 1, 2024, travellers flying in United’s premium cabins on long-haul international routes will receive the complimentary Wrexham AFC-inspired amenity kits filled with travel essentials like an eye mask, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as exclusive Therabody skincare products. United Polaris customers on flights 14 hours or longer will also receive pyjamas designed to resemble the team’s uniforms including a long-sleeve Wrexham red shirt and grey pants.
United and Wrexham AFC collaborated to design the amenity kits and pajamas, drawing inspiration from the team crest, jerseys and overall look and feel. The offerings include:
“With our amenity kits, we always aim to provide customers with products that make their travel journey more comfortable as well as create one-of-a-kind keepsakes for them to enjoy well beyond their flight,” said Peter Wolkowski, director of onboard product design at United.
“Wrexham’s story is one that has been documented and celebrated these last few years, so we’re thrilled to now give United customers team-branded gear they won’t be able to find anywhere else.”
