Not all 50's and 60's but they are colour - don't those red and white stripes look just great

Sunderland 1973?

Damn, you spotted it.

Was hoping to fool people into thinking we`d won the Fa Cup in the 60s.

Agree Cyprus . The kits look the bususiness . Nostalgia and proud to be a blade and all that . Red socks , black socks , red and white hoop socks all look great.

Promotion kit 2016 / 17 . We all hope so and wish.

Fantastic pictures.

Probably Sept 1964. Doc Pace out of action for quite a time since August due to a stomach problem, when he got better in December he was sold to Notts County. Alan Birchenall had just got into the team and in his only second game he scored both goals in the 2-0 win at S6. Barry Wagstaff and Alan Woodward made their debuts in October 1964, Woody getting the regular spot for the rest of the season instead of Allchurch and ahead of John Docherty

Look at those gorgeous stripes. Just look at those stripes. (swoons)

We do need to get back to proper red and white shirts . We haven't got any identity in how we play or look on the field . Perhaps getting one right the other may follow.

Socks?

Should they be red (my preferred choice), black or white or red & white hooped, or red with 2 white bands on the turnover?

It's a generation thing, I reckon. Whichever was worn when you watched in your formative years, tends to be a favourite. AS I started watching in the early 70s I prefer white socks. Those slightly older who started in the 60s might well prefer red socks, same for those who began in the Edwards era. Most of the 90s through to 2010 will have seen mostly black socks, so the younger element may prefer black.

As long as the shirts are red and white stripes, the shorts are black, the socks aren't so important, but white says Sheffield United to me (red says Sunderland).

White socks for me. . . . Seventies style.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Like Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, black or white works for me.

Bad, but at least that one didn't have any blue in it.

Surely the all time worse is:

Blades related. Is that Porterfield to the left behind the guy in a tracksuit or to the second right of him?

It was the season before when we beat them 7-3 and 3-1. We finished in 11th position but Wendy went up as champions!

Porterfield is second right. Chris Guthrie's brother, Ron, is on the far right
