The FA Cup tie last Saturday with Swansea at Hillsborough saw Wednesday don the one-off Children's Hospital Charity sleeve design dedicated to the hospital in a match broadcast live on BT Sports and BeIN Sports.

The FA Cup allows football clubs the opportunity to wear alternative logos from those of the Premier League and EFL on players’ sleeves. Wednesday worked hand in hand with the Children’s Hospital to generate 'invaluable exposure' for this 'wonderful cause'.
