Old City Scarf from around 1975-76

[CITY FOR LIFE]

Can anyone remember a City scarf from around 75-76 which was a bit like a Rangers Scarf in colour it was Bar Stripes. If anyone has one could you please post a photo, I’ve lost my original and trying to find a replacement.

I think I have that virtually unworn somewhere. I'm sure it has the city old badge on but it's not printed it's like a paint texture.

Yeah I had one of those scarves. Thought I looked the dogs bollocks in it but alas lost long ago. Still have my blue , white and maroon bar scarf from 1970.

I can’t remember it having the old badge on but I do remember one with a big round City badge on.

That was another great scarf from the 70s

I was just curious why we would have a Rangers like scarf, assume it was because of this kit. I love the sash kits, imho I would make this years white sash permanent, it would make the home shirt unique a bit like River Plate, a white shirt made instantly recognisable by the sash...

A lot of City supporters followed Rangers in the 70s while Utd supporters followed Celtic.

I'd love to have a Boca/River style trademark on the shirt where there's always a tradition to adhere to, but at this point in history, it's a little late in the day. We're basically like Bayern Munich at this point, there's a standard primary shirt colour to keep but everything else is just open season.

Probably true, but as a 'cat licker' I was always of the deluded opinion it is was 60-40 ish at City but certainly more Prods than Cats. Meanwhile at the swamp, it was way more Cats, say 80-20. Perceptions at ragland may have been skewed by the infamous blocks of complimentary season tickets for priests...

I remember a bar scarf almost matching this shirt. A wide blue bar then narrow white, narrow red, narrow white and back to blue. Or it could have been narrow red, narrow white, narrow red.
The kit was first worn at Leeds in 72-73 (I think) and we also had a white shirt with a red and black diagonal band around the same time.

We had 2 white shirts with a sash, this one was also used in 72-73...

The season when we had FOUR kits. It’s not a modern thing.
And we also first had the Red/Black sash in 77.

We used to wear red and black scarfs in those days as well, back in the 70's. I had one and wore it with pride, tied around my wrist as was the fashion back then.

I remember 3 of those 4 and loved them but the one Summerbee is wearing is an abomination. I can't recall that one at all, what was it worn for? Cups or europe maybe?
