Help with old(?) Blades shirt

[Basing Blade]

The fabric is consistent with the late 70s designs, so maybe it is a 'retro' shirt from about 1978.

Good shout. Could well be. It's got me confused for sure

What has me confused, and I'm in no way trying to convince anyone it's a genuine 70s shirt, is if it is a fake whoever did it has gone to a lot of trouble. Like the 93 one above, which looks like a decent effort, has a plain basic label. Whereas the one I have they must have also faked an Umbro label. But agree it could be a basic reissue Umbro template shirt with a badge embroidered on later

Wouldn't a 70s shirt have had measurements in inches rather than centimetres?

I was about to post the same.

Found this image which is apparently a Scotland shirt from 1978. Looks quite similar to the mine, which could give strength to the theory it's from the late 70s...

Following on from my previous post in which I discussed an eBay seller. This seller has gone to the effort of having Umbro neck labels printed and is stitching them in to the shirts. I shit you not.

Yours look good/original.



But the embroidered coat of arms was the instant giveaway for me so, as I said previously, my opinion is that it is an original Umbro template jersey which has had the cost of arms added later.

Which stands up with the theory that replica shirts of the 70s didn't have the club emblem on them. You had to buy that separately and add it yourself (by your mum usually).

What detectives we are.

Ricky Holmes and Lucy Watson would be proud of us (both detective Blades).

I picked this shirt up a couple of years ago not really knowing what it is! I'm thinking I can't have been lucky enough to get a Woody shirt, but it seems to have a lot of the hallmarks of the 70s shirts.
Can anyone shed any light on what it might be? I'm assuming a modern replica but the material of the shirt (that sort of really scratchy nylon) and the Umbro label is unlike any replica I've seen.
Thanks for any insights

During that period, numbers were always sewn on to a white material square, which was, in turn, sewn on to the shirt. This carried on through the first tranche of Admiral kits too. Also, all the middle stripes were exactly lined up. Never, EVER seen a picture of one of those shirts with a misplaced stripe.

And for those reasons, I'm out.

This has black printed number 8 on a white sewn square which I hope makes this genuine

I think somebody told me the number on the front was put on after to make it a training shirt

Don't know if this helps with the label question or not but this is circa 1970 from Archers on Bramall Lane.

I have hopefully an original shirt from 1973 what would it be worth

Not really the thread theme, but spotted this retweet on s24su Twitter. Could cause from a guy putting the effort in
