West Brom have confirmed they will wear special shirts in honour of Cyrille Regis when they face Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Baggies will wear shirts which feature a motif of Regis in order to honour their former striker, who passed away on January 14, aged 59.
The logo is inspired by an image of Regis celebrating a goal against Notts County in May 1982. The shirts will then be auctioned after the match to raise funds for a charity chosen by the Regis family.
A statement on West Brom's website read: "These unique shirts will be one of the key features of an occasion which marks Albion's first home game since Cyrille's passing nearly three weeks ago.
"The Baggies masses have responded by packing out The Hawthorns and, after Tuesday's emotional scenes during Cyrille's funeral and memorial service, the Club is planning to spend the final hour up to kick-off celebrating the life of one of our all-time greats.
"It will be climaxed by a minute's applause just before kick-off and will feature special video and music content, as well as a star-studded parade of players who will be there to give their own salute to a man and footballer so universally admired."
Regis was appointed an MBE in 2008 and is regarded as a pioneer for black players.
He became a cult hero at West Brom after scoring 112 goals for the club, as was the third black player to receive an England call-up.
