Steve Bull was the first to get his hands on the brand new Wolves home shirt, following its launch.

The club legend picked up the top for his nine-year-old daughter Gracie Jo - with the iconic 'Bull 9' name and number on the back.

It was an out-of-this-world experience for the announcement, as Wolves revealed the new Puma shirt by launching it to the edge of space in a dramatic online video.

The stunt, which took place last week, saw a shirt tied to a high-altitude balloon and sent into the stratosphere reaching an altitude of 36,700 metres.

Overall, Bull was impressed with the new kit.

He said: "I think it's quite nice to be fair. It's got a bit of flashness on the side - I'd probably need an extra large for myself but that's life!

"I've worn numerous shirts playing for Wolves throughout the years and this is probably up there with them.

"My daughter loves the Wolves and coming to the games and if you put a shirt on her she absolutely loves it.

"It's too early days to talk about promotion but I think we've got to get a good pre-season under our belts, take the friendlies and give it a good go."

The new kit will go on sale both online and at the Molineux Megastore on Saturday at 9am. The first 100 fans to buy the shirt from the Molineux Megastore will receive a free Wolves gift box.

Once again designed by Puma, the new Wolves shirt is made from a lightweight polyester fabric using the latest moisture wicking technology.

Watch: Wolves fans have their say on the new kit

On the football side of things, Bully is pleased with the recent appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo.

"His credentials show he's done well at his other clubs so you've got to give him the change, a bit of time, money and the right players, he said.

"I'd be happy with the play-offs myself. I said last year its going to take us about two to three years to get into the premiership. That's the one year out the way, they've put their toe in the water, learnt their lesson about a few things over last season and its starting to settle down now. We've got a new manager more players coming in and fingers crossed.

"Get the Wolves players behind them and that will give them a push."
