My elder brother has been going to the Lane for over 50 years. He started collecting shirts in the mid to late 80s. He has just given me this
collection of over 50 shirts. I feel quite humble as he isn’t well and knows I will treasure these shirts in the same way he always has. I am going to go to each of the next 50 matches in a different shirt.

I would love to see pics of any other Blades who have similar collections.

Fantastic collection btw I have a few shirts in my collection and would love to know what happened to my kits I had as a kid

I have a confession .........

I have only ever bought 2 first team shirts since my first season of following the Blades in 1971. The ‘Sabella’ shirt which we wore when we got relegated in 1981 and this season’s.

Let’s all hope by next May I only have a 50% relegation average !

UTB.

That's a trouser tenter for the regulars of this thread I imagine. Especially if it is match worn.
 
The others are in my brothers loft with our programme collection and other bits and bobs :) I also think I have one of the rarest modern day programmes but going to post that on the programme corner thread

Not a massive shirt collector but I would guess that match worn is where the money is. From that point of view I'd guess a couple of shirts would be really worth having for their rarity.

As we only wore this 3 times, and there's been a recent version released, a match worn must be nearly impossible to get hold of

Also in the 1974-75 season we had an all blue kit. Not dark blue, but royal blue. Again it was only worn about 4 times and I've never seen one. There isn't even a colour photo of it. But it was an all blue shirt (think Chelsea) with a Blades badge on it. I remember seeing it at Stoke and thought it was very weird. This pic of Len Badger was taken at Anfield.

Thats a beaut. Gotta be worth £110- £130, whilst its rare, the official numbers and football league badges make it extra special .

If I were you I'd put that somewhere safe and no way would I play in it, as a matchworn shirt of that ilk is very very rare (especially Deano's long-sleeved) which looks like it is, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell for at least £500+ in auction or on ebay (despite it looking slightly faded around the collar and on the shoulder patch)

You could buy official number printing and football league badges from sugg sports back then so no way to verify if it is match worn.

Authentic player-issue numbers for the era. I never saw those official flock Umbro 'diamond' numbers myself for sale anywhere back in the day.

Plus the crest is embroidered on - the replicas had felt heat-transfers.

If the shirt is long-sleeved (can't tell from photos), then deffo player-issue, as long-sleeves weren't available in replicas sold on the high street

How long have you had that?

I once played against a guy wearing that exact shirt at pitz and offered to buy it and he said no he just liked playing in it.. whilst I thought that was mental I also loved it.

I left sheffield 10 years ago so must have been 11 years ago. How long have you been playing in it there?

I've got the match worn Suffo shirt from THAT game. Only problem is I don't have a certificate for it. I've asked classic football shirts before as to how much I might get for it, but as its only little old Sheffield united, the answer was 'not much'. As well as no proof. Name and number obviously on the back.

yep sounds about right then.. can’t imagine two guys playing in matchworn Brian Deane shirts. Don’t blame you one bit for wanting to keep it

If your in the market, Now is a good time to buy. A lot of our 90’s shirts are on ebay and very good condition. Not seen so many on there before, expensive though, but they are getting harder to find, hence the high prices. And if you decide to sell them you’ll be making a decent profit too.
