Is it the best ever ?

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

And we take the piss out of some current players' haircuts!

Now, now, behave yourself. Don`t go upsetting us old farts who have still got some thatch.

Exactly like that would be great next season. It'd be nice to have the old coat of arms make an appearance too, but there's probably copyright bollocks preventing that.

£18 Toffs.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Agree it is a great kit.

But nothing can beat the simple, classic beauty of this (nor the previous round-collared version).

Without question my favourite Blades kit ever. Simple red and white stripes continued onto the sleeves, plain black shorts, unadorned white socks.

It's the reason we stopped wearing it, Tyler. The council put some sort of copyright protection on it and we had to remove it.

£18 for the kids size. I'd look like Daffyd from Little Britain.

Don't worry, he'd miss.

This didn't half make me chuckle!

Kill me now but the 15/16 shirt was nice as a oneoff

Big Vern is on his way round.

I thought as much.

The council pretty much exist solely to be arseholes really.

1975 first season with black trim, the badge: the coat of arms, removed 1977 replaced with the Jimmy Sirrel designed new badge we still wear.
Remember thinking the black trim made us look so cool back then, Admiral btw.
Historically we played our two first seasons in white shirts 1889-91/blue shorts used untill 1904 - details here: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Sheffield_United/Sheffield_United.htm

you already got a head start on that

There is a lovely "old Sheffield" connection to the shirts saying "Lavers" and "Wards" on them.

My "Wards" shirt is still my fave I think, of all the shirts I have.

I always wanted Magnet on our shirts , but it never came off

I totally agree, George though is convinced a night out in Sheffield involves a vast quantity of wrigglers.

If it's to be a beer, I think this would be great

79/81 has to be up there as the worst so far for me.

Wow. That next year will do for me. Last year was the best I’ve seen in many years, though. A proper Blades kit

any united home kit with the thin black stripes along with the red and white is a winner for me!

As WalthamstowBlade has illustrated, our badge to replace the coat of arms was already in existence. Players were always expected to attend matches and official functions wearing the club blazer. Jimmy Hagan thought that a badge representing the club should adorn the blazers and came up with the crossed swords beneath a white rose design. The club liked it and used it for quite a few years on the blazers. When Sheffield council informed the club they could no longer use the coat of arms, someone in the club decided to use the Hagan design as the basis for the new club badge. Jimmy Sirrel was manager at the time but didn't have any input into the design of the new badge.

Would love it if we made a decision going forward that we have Red and White stripes with a Black Pin Stripe incorporated, just to set us apart from most, all my favourite Blades kits have featured the black pin stripe.
