The thing for me is they miss a perfect opportunity with father's Day in the middle of June. It's an easy win for sales that they now miss. I know it's not the biggest selling day of the year but still feel it's a missed opportunity.

 

Guess you assumed incorrectly then, you may not wear shirts but a significant proportion of over 30's definitely do.
If you assume that the kids actually go out under 16 years old and buy their dads a gift without a large degree of input from the mum then your mistaken.

 

Too right USG, still got my very worn Leigh Palin shirt somewhere. Must be from 87-ish.

 

In my experience I’m not sure how many 16-18 year olds buy a fathers’ day gift without input from their mum.

 

And for other gift-giving occasions, it will be a very brave man indeed who would buy Mum a gift without significant input from Mum!

Yes, shirts of certain vintages are all the more treasured. My 87 Great City one will come out on very special occasions; the last time was in the Senior Common Room after we'd beaten Arsenal in the Cup -- a colleague was (and still is, I suppose) a devoted Arsenalite.

I wear City shirts on holiday as I've said before they make a good conversation piece, one special night in Egypt where there were around 10 couples the men talking football on one table whilst their partners were talking children, grand children and knitting patterns .

 

Loads of then on EBay atm. All reproductions. I’ve been saying it for years, if the club brought out a “retro line”, they’d clean up.

 

Jesus, I frickin' hope not. They're bloody awful.

It's really starting to piss me off the way these kit manufacturers keep farting around with clubs' shirts. Who wants a football shirt with a load of stupid thin horizontal lines and awful fade-outs on? They're disgusting. Just bloody stop it.

 

Personally I liked the hoops made a nice change and they were part of some success.

 

Ah but Dave the difference was that one door kn0b picked the team because he knew football whist the other let the two unknowns get on with it

 

Out, out?

 

You're the man .

 

Im imagining the meltdown now. Grown men who breathe through their mouth saying 'we aint L33ds' and having tantrums on Twitter....

 

I suppose the one on the right is bearable. The one on the left is horrible. I loathe and detest all those late 70s/early 80s kits with Admiral logos all over them.
I'd much rather we leave any white kits for the away strip and stick to claret and amber for the home strip.

 

, She's been with me over 55 years so it can't bother her that much .

Fat finger syndrome.

 

I hope its not anything like that kit

 

They used the same shirt in 1921.

 

I also think it'll be a white strip, I'm with you.

 

So claret shirt with amber yoke

 

I reckon its the white kit celebrating our glorious 1976 FA Cup run to the 6th Round where we went out 0-1 to eventual winners Southampton at VP. That would fit with Sparkys narrative. In e
In effect its has stripes granted two but still stripes !
