Cheers mate. That's the badger. My mind might be playing tricks but didn't it have Simmonds as the sponsor the season before that pic.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

stripes are too thin sorry

Is the wrong answer.

That's the precise width they should be forever.

Yeah in the 1st season we had it, 83/84 promotion season.

Too young to remember us playing in it but love this shirt

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

This was the first one I owned.

Pretty awful, but oh the nostalgia. Has a special place in my heart.

Me too. My first away kit as a kid and it's so foul it's beautiful.

Struggling to remember anyone other than Coventry who have had yellow and brown.

Bought the Toffs retro shirt when it came out about 9 years ago. Not great quality it has to be said. Not worn it that much and it looks fucked. Compare it to my original fluorescent Umbro away kit from 89/90 which still looks pristine nearly 30 years later.

That was probably the worst Umbro shirt they ever did especially the shorts! But would still love Umbro back for all the ther decent shirts!

Did I ever share a pic of my white admiral shirt with the single thick black stripe outlined in red circa 78/79 on here .... ?

I agree, I've always liked Umbro, they're probably the only brand I'd change from Adidas for.

For some reason I still have an irrational dislike for Puma. I always associate them with Wednesday even to this day.

I still love my Tony Currie limited edition shirt, but it appears to have shrunk in the cupboard..

Got this one. Still need the away yellow one from this time. Also the thick red stripe Sabella one. Would pay good money! Looking forward to the yellow admiral one. Remakes are better than nothing. I ordered the Admiral one on e bay at the moment so looking forward to seeing the quality. The shoreham st magnifique yellow was very good.

This one?

I remember being bought that kit and the home one and eventually the track suits from that season

Still probably the best gift I've ever been given
Such good quality as well

Got it 6 year ago in the club shop.

Only Blades understand how “nice” it is

Always gets a few comments from Blades at games wanting to buy it off me!!

I wish I’d bought the home and away. I presumed that they would be available for much longer. That’s the first season I attended (not that I really remember that much) and the home was the first kit I had. (Excellent stripe width)

mine have too.. interesting

it's a great shirt. but it's a relegation shirt.. and you know how superstitious i am about shirts

 

[JJ Sefton]

View attachment 40143 There’s a guy on eBay who I’ve spoken to who can make replicas of this shirt and if there’s enough interest (ie, more than me) he’ll do it. There was a picture on here yesterday from a poster who has bought the Sabella one from the same guy (I forget who it was) so he can vouch for it.

Who would be up for it?

Got the original. Cracking shirt.

 

[Deadbat]

This one?

No the big thick red stripe one - looks like a Southampton shirt. See a few on e bay but go for silly money

I've got that one too, great innit?

 

[Silent Blade]

Indeed it did.

The full history is here, every kit.

Been looking at the shirt we wore from Dec 1972 to to March 1973 in my programmes. The first photo is the squad for March 1973 (after we signed Jim Bone from Norwich and Terry Nicholl from Crewe. The second is from the Derby home game in the same month and the stripes looks the same as it were before Dec 1972.

I have seen a photo of TC wearing a similar one (v West Ham in March 1973. I think). Maybe he and Ian asked for a dry shirt at half time in a rainy day?

I love the classic designs from the 1960's to the mid- 70's. Simplicity wins every time, I hope we revert to that at some point.

The red stripe HAS to be in the middle though. A white one throws the whole thing off.

Put an '@' symbol followed by the username.

I'd be interested in that. I'm after two home shirts from the year I was born. So the Simonds kit is one of them and the first Arnold Laver kit is the other. Pretty much identical except for the change of sponsor

View attachment 40144

This with Arnold Laver is ther version I'd like, but if he produces the one in the op Ainsley Harriott I'll be up for ordering one. That was what we wore for my first ever match.

This stands in the corner of my office

Are these replica's like for like, with umbro badges etc ? If so i would order.

Doubtful. Probably copyright issues preventing it. That's what puts me off buying a lot of retro stuff.

 

[Danetheblade]

That picture is one I’ve nabbed off of Facebook, it’s signed too. I doubt it would come with a number on and no way would the signatures be on it - obviously.

The Sabella one comes in all sizes upto about XXL (I think, it may be another X) and I’ve paid £30 including postage from Australia so expect the same.

If you’re on social media his Facebook is ‘grim up north retro’. He’s also releasing that yellow one with the chevrons on it this month which I’m looking forward to. His eBay is ‘gunretro66’.

Edit: it was SleafordBlade who posted the picture up (how do I tag his name??)

Any ideas when he's releasing the yellow chevron shirt matey? Definitely interested in both shirts if the price is right of course
