Retro shirt or remake?

[Bashambauer]

Is this 1987-1990 home shirt an original or remake? The Laver sponsor looks too good for the age of the shirt although could be a new vinyl sticker…

Remake that pal.
Real one has little squares/diamonds in the print. Also your collar is kinda stitched onto a round neck.

Badges were also felt, not stitched.

Still good value for 12 quid though. I say buy it.

Yeah the Laver sponsor looks quite different to the original ones. If you got an OG and remake side by side the difference is night and day.

Sheffield Retro shop did this knock off earlier this year.

Yeah Matt is right, even though I'm no aficionado I knew it was a re-make as I have the same myself, just that mine is a long sleeve.

Don't know if you think the same but I think the material of it feels quite good too?

Yeah they won’t be doing anymore. Umbro issued them a cease & desist, they were selling stuff with Umbro’s logo without their permission. Not to mention that the retro shop stuff looks pretty shit.

Random but online looking at shirts, does anyone have any information on this one? Never seen it with this sponsor, maybe a Reserve/ Youth team shirt from the time?

It’s a German driving school. It will be an amateur team in the 90s that bought some old stock shirts to play in most probably.

Looks like the remake GUN Retro did a few years ago. I have one. Good quality shirt but a few of the details are off, like the font for Laver - see the join between the V and the E.
