Dont know if true but the kit was something to do with Llanelli RUFC

I was wearing mine and was approached by a guy who was a Rugby nut asking me about it.

Iirc, didn't you wear it in munich? Memory is a bit hazy though

Right country wrong team, Its Neath RFC.

I went to the arms park to watch these 2 teams slug it out in some final or other. Brilliant day.

Grow a pair you softarse.

Takes a few seconds to educate people as to why you wear it.

You shouldn't need to have to educate people but if you are happy to walk around looking like a racist go for it. Then again you probably are a shithouse racist.

Fucking hell, you don't half talk a complete load of bollocks.

Made me laugh there stony!

I wasn't saying I think it looks like the Nazi Iron Cross (which often also feature a swastika) I was saying that the general public, who have no inkling of our clubs history, might confuse it with Nazi icons - and for that reason maybe the club would avoid selling it...let's put it on 'City Voice' and ask the question :)

St Marks/Gorton had that shirt long before either war - but the swastika was also used long before it was used by the Nazis.

What my point was about was the club selling a shirt that 'could' be misidentified. The 'swastika' has been around as an icon for 1000s of years - the ancient Greeks used it, Etruscans used it, Celts used it - but if you wore a t-shirt displaying it today people would assume you were in some way attached to the modern identification of the emblem.

Going back to the original OP question though - has anyone found a site you can buy one, or shall I wait til the Newcastle game and check Mary D? (the latter seems the obvious to be fair)

I've had my eye on one of those TOFFS shirts for a while and I think the time is right to get one.

BTW - the German air force has been using a cross like that on its aircraft for most of the post-1945 period, and it is still the symbol used today. Pretty sure they wouldn't be using it if it was generally thought to be a Nazi symbol.

Well then maybe the club should start selling them , so when some people ask why City have a old retro shirt with a cross on it , they can be told the history of the club. Also the club should do a retro Ardwick afc too !

I agree!

Just ordered a black t shirt from Amazon with "Kippax" and a skull and cross bones on the front.

Sorry can't post an image, but I think it looks great not bad for £11.99.
