collecting sheffield united shirts

[Vintage Shirt]

Over the decade I've been trying to collect original shirts (none of this toffs bollocks)
here's what I have currently.

If anyone could help me complete my collection that would be mint. I'm after 70's and 80's really but want to get up to 94/95

I have 1990-1992 home shirt but it's a touch MIA after lending it a friend for a game.


I'd be willing to swap both home and away Hobbott 81-83 for other 70's & 80's kits as I have duplicates of them and they are a bit small and well, I enjoy wearing them all.

lovely stuff.

Here's mine from 1983 to 2005.

The eagle eyed might notice the alternating red and white plastic hangers.

Or the eagle eyed may notice that there are no images Walthers?

Strange, they show up for me.

You can't link images from your google account. No one else can see them but you.

 

[blade too long]

or are they just in the deep recesses of your mind

Any good?

Was the rug worn for that friendly against FC Lhasa in Tibet?

I have pretty much all shirts from 1983 to present day. I will post a pic as soon as I can.

P.S. They're not for sale

glad to see the 97-99 shirt is taking pride of place. Our best ever home shirt in my opinion.

96/97 for me closely followed by 83/88. During the 2004 European Championships I wore the 97/99 to the pub to watch the Greece games.

05/06 was the worst for me as it was such crap quality it seemed like kids had made it for a school project.

Revolution jnr now wears my umbro mid 1980's shirt. That one is in better condition than quite a few of the others of more recent vintage, notably the PL shirts from 06-07 where the advertising has peeled off.

You'll have a job completing a collection. The club was founded in 1889.

You should do what I do and only collect shirts from the 1983/84 season (year of birth). It's much easier taht way

 

[Torrix1889]

Talking of Kits I heard a whisper today that we are signing another 3-year deal with Macron..........anyone else heard that?

 

[Kenilworth]

I preferred Umbro or Le Coq - never really liked any of the others for quality. Even then some of the Umbro ones were shockers. Feel a bit too old to wear em to games now. Have the new white one in the draw - still with tags on. Still wear some for football training though.

 

[SwissBlade]

Got a lot of the shirts since the pinstripe from when we went up to div 1, got a lot of away shirts too. Never thrown any away/ got rid. The ones from my teenage years are in varying conditions, some covered in paint, some stained with engine oil etc. not exactly collectors items but I can't get rid.

In fact I've got a decent collection of shirts from 1990 onwards, many from foreign clubs as my dad worked away and brought shirts back

Got a great long sleeve PSG shirt from the '90's. I wore it on John St West terrace when we played Man U in the FA Cup and nearly got my head kicked in by Blades fans as PSG were sponsored by Commodore at the time and Blades fans thought I was a Chelsea Fan! I was only 14-16 at the time!

I was born in 1939.

They didn't sell replica kits until after the 1950s or 60s

I always feel weird wearing the shirts of other football clubs. I used to watch Enfield quite a bit when I was a kid but could never bring myself to buy a shirt so eventually I took to sending them a cheque for £40 every couple of years instead. The only non United football shirt I have is for the now defunct Minnesota Thunder and I only bought that because it was for charity.

I do have a few Kilkenny hurling shirts though and even one for Robert Emmett's, the hurling club in St Paul, Minnesota.

I justify it with them being foreign.

I have a decent number of red and white striped shirts of teams like Monaco, athletico Bilbao and two olympiakos ones it's like wearing a blades shirt but with more flair and a preference for falling over theatrically

Forgot all about those NASL shirts from the late 70s, I had a California Surf top.

First Blades shirt I had was the 75-76 one, red and white with black pinstripes, round collar and long sleeves. I always associate that kit with Jimmy Johnstone for some reason. First away one was 80-81, all white with red and black trim and collar.

 

[Vintage Shirt]

I like the nasl/misl shirts they are dead mint, I've got a couple. I can't wear other English teams shirts but don't mind kits from further afield.

For united, 81-95 were the "golden age" for me. That's what I'm trying to complete.

 

[Vancouver]

I once wore a Blades shirt to the Nou Camp to watch Barcelona (with Barca Blade) but foolishly wore our white away one. Lots of people thought it was a Madrid shirt. Whoops.

I would like to get a Vancouver Whitecaps shirt but it's blue and white so balls to that.

When I went to see the Minnesota Thunder the crowd was full of people in obscure European football shirts.

I'd get a Derry City shirt if they didn't look crap.

Have you taken up photography Broomhill
Your avatar keeps changing a lot for """ someone older than me"""""""
Replica kits they did not even have a programme or floodlights when we started, winter kick offs at 2.00pm and team changes chalked up on a board and carried round the ground.
Some things have changed for the better!
