Colman Tee (125 years)

[mattbianco1]

Am I missing something? What is this tshirt all about? What does Colman's Mustard have to do with Sheffield United and why is this part of our 125 years anniversary and a final note...

Why does my father-in-law want one for his Birthday?

Hmmm... Who are we Norwich??

Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 and I don't want him on our shirts either.

Don't buy the columns tee then... It looks like it was the team photo from that year, perhaps it was sponsored by them, dunno.

You could always buy it and then remove the Colmans logo with an iron....Theres a thread all about it.

NEW AWAY KIT

The sponsorship has been handled better than on the home shirt.

Foxy please merge threads this minute

Its a picture of the 1898 League winners taken from a Colman's label of the time. I like it.

Charlie Chaplin was born on 16th April, Hitler was on April 20th so Chaplin's birthdate is nearer to ours!

Was it mandatory for everyone born between those dates to have the "twat tash"?

That bloke from Sparks looks pretty good for his age.

Is that Karen Colman Colman's Mustard Colman? She is the Grace Kelly with black hair of Norfolk.

When meeting new people I often slip in the fact that I was born the same year as Nick Griffin and Simon Cowell. It's surprising how well disposed towards you people are when you juxtapose yourself to two of the biggest twats in post war British history

Colmans were the main sponsors (can't remember if it was the League or Cup), the image is in Legends. It was extensively retouched as the original was damaged

 

[JJ Sefton]

I quite like it and have tried buying it but Sheffield United's typically fucking useless website has knocked that one on the head.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Never mind all that, what's all this 'year's' business, doesn't anyone proof read stuff these days

Not following?! I ordered one today

Ha. Is that one for yourself - presume you have ordered the one for your father in law already?

Admit it, you are warming to it now aren't you? Looks OK to me and now I understand the connection it makes perfect sense.

No was the father in laws one I ordered.

Might start a trend, instead of the beard.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I wondered about the origins of this shirt, now matters have been clarified.

I would like to propose we all wear this shirt next time we have an opportunity to visit Carrow Road, only a stones throw from the old Colmans factory in Norwich.

That would certainly ruffle a few feathers.
