There was a blue shirt worn in at least one away game in the 74-75 season. I can't remember the opposition. I think we won. My memory isn't what it was but hopefully Silent Blade will be along shortly to provide the details.

Might be able to buy a full set of twenty pig shirts from the last 20 Prem campaigns?

To be fair it says it's a replica. I've seen other 'old' united shirts on there that claimed to be originals that looked legit from the pics

Replica or not, that badge doesn’t sit right on that ‘NYLON’ monstrosity.

Thanks Silent. I knew I'd seen it somewhere, I was at both the Liverpool & Arsenal games. I think we'd been on a good run before the defeat to Arsenal? Still had a great season though. The season after I was at anfield again, think we lost one nil to Ray Kennedy goal? I was up at Boro too, think we got hammered 3 nil and we're probably already relegated? Boro back then seemed like the roughest place on earth... some things I don't mind forgetting

Yes and yes. Tony McAndrew hat trick for Boro.

wore it at Stoke, when I think Jimmy Johnstone made his debut.

Not that match. We wore it at Stoke in Oct 1974 (lost 3-2, Badger sent off). Jimmy Johnstone's debut was in November 1975 when Geoff Salmons scored both goals for Stoke in our 2-1 defeat.

Thanks Silent......,,,,,,,,,Boro back then seemed like the roughest place on earth..

Seemed ?

I take you've not been back since !?

I was at that Arsenal game it was really weird seeing us in that shite colour. Our destiny is red and white stripes

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I was at the Stoke game and can confirm that it was an all royal blue kit. That shirt in the OP is not a truly accurate version though. The collar wasn't open necked like the replica, but a V insert collar like the home shirt that season.

Thanks for all your replies, I’ll give the shirt a miss. UTB!
