Official Retro Shirts

[CrookesBlade]

Problem is, back in the 90s, that was the fit - baggy. I've got an original in a large and my god. Talk about big. (Though I am a medium so factor that in as well).

I had one in a large. Had to sell it as it was past the point of “oversized” and was unwearable.

It would take a lot for me to sell any of em to be honest. I don't even wear em

Has anyone received one of these new retro home shirts and can talk to the quality/fit etc?

Yes, mine came today 1 of each.

Size wise I ordered a large and I’m 6ft 5” and 14.5st and they fit me ok, I wouldn’t want any bigger. Not like the Avec one I had as a kid, which was like a tent.

They seems decent quality, quite thick material and not very sweat wicking (I’m a sweaty twat as well) but made well enough.

I really like the away one and it doesn’t scream “football shirt” like a lot do. The other one I’ll probably wear to Blades matches in nice weather (twice a year ).

They’re ok though.

You sound beautiful

Probably one of this planet’s finest specimens

6ft 5 and 14.5 stone, you must have spaghetti arms !

Obviously don’t have the Adonis figure of someone like yourself who has shagged his way around the globe

I miss those days, until you've been stopped at Kazakh border control with a naughty schoolgirls outfit, you've not lived

As there is no likelihood of another issue of the luminous away shirt I’m going to have to make my own. Stay tuned…

 

[S64 Blade]

Why's the away one £10 more than the home one?

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Why's the away one £10 more than the home one?

Because of the collar and how much effort and research went in to getting it wrong.

Fully tuned in. How you going about that?!

 

[BobbyDavison'sDebut]

Why's the away one £10 more than the home one?

Probably because it has the Hobott branding and the home one doesn't have Avec

How long did your tops take to come on standard delivery mate?

EBay and a sewing machine

Are you serious? What material you using?

Really? Is Hobbott even still going? WTF is a Hobbott anyway? I thought they were the little people from the Shire

Probably long gone, which is why we'll be able to put the logo on the retro shirts, as there's no copywrite issues.

Presumably Avec are still around, so we can't use their logo.

Avec still doing lower /non league and rugby sides.

I think Hobbot were a Sheffield/South Yorks firm that ended up folding.

It stands for "House of Barrington Official Team Tops" - a sheffield company called House of Barrington.

House Of Barrington sounds like a shop for reyt poncey cunts. I'm not buying that shirt on sheer principle.

I got a Toffs replica of the away one but the sponsors name came off and it’s bobbly as fuck now so will probably buy this. It’s so bad it’s a classic.

The shop was next to Abbeydale Cinema, I think Barrington was on the Board way back

It was the last building before the cinema. I think it’s a Pizza Hut now. Many a pre Xmas visit “just to check Santa knows the right size to get”…
My brothers then bird borrowed my ‘Ajax’ one to go to Leicester.. Never see her or it again
The totally white away one from I think Bob Hatton era should still be at home in the loft alongside my cub uniform that my mum won’t throw away.. it’s probably still as nylon shiny as it was then.
