Help: Images Required of Admiral Away Kits

[mattbianco1]

I'm after some images of the 2 admiral away kits from the 70's - The white with red/black 'sash' and the yellow with black 'chevrons'

There aren't many images knocking around on the internet and i really could do with bigger images. Images of players wearing would be ideal.

So far the best i have are:

So looking at the images then. The white shirt has the Sheffield coat of arms embroided on the shirt, directly onto the shirt I.e. not with a badge shape around it...

Then the yellow shirt has the current badge stitched on. But, it wasn't as slick as it currently is. It was the kind ya mum stitched on your trackys when you fell over and ripped them

Also on the home shirt the Admiral badge appears between the red stripes and on the red stripe. See the pics in your op. Weird

Don't think they had much consistency back then

Just look at British Leyland for your answer there.....

Playing in another teams kit is all wrong. If they forgot their kid, they should have had to play in their pants.

From memory (as a kid mind) I recall the kits of that era by Admiral having very coarse and rough nylon. Recall a cold match somewhere like Castle Dyke and me nipples getting a right chafing and the collar almost making me neck bleed. Kids nowadays don't know how lucky they are!

The shorts however were more like incontinent pants, very tight around the leg and the nylon more like ripcord. Never tested their ability in the old continence department but would have had a degree of confidence.

Admiral were of course also responsible for the chocolate brown Coventry kit with the vertical stripes that curved toward the shoulder. I know brown was big in the 70' s but that kit was one of the worst ever kits. Thank Christ we didn't go for that one.

Finally, I recall buying a Leeds away kit Subutteo team with the sole purpose of liberating them, by self painting the united admiral V's over the blank yellow kit with Humbrol model paint to turn them into The Blades. A great idea, however my painting skills weren't quite there, the results didn't quite work and they looked like your average roadside tarmaccer after a week on the job. Got laughed out of our Subutteo league.
