1980's Umbro City Shirts

[City_Shirts]

A real personal favourite in the collection which was kindly donated by the player.

Andy May match worn shirt from Paul Power’s Testimonial v Everton on 19th August 1986. Note the programme is dated a year earlier than the fixture in which Power, who had recently just joined Everton would play a half each for both sides.

Oh my god I’ve just found a site that sells our 1985 away kit. That kit is my 2nd favourite away kit of ours and I’ve been after it for a long time.

I weren't born during the 80s but they did have some really good shirts back then. I like the 1985/86 set as they look really nice and clean.

Our current home shirt looks similar to the 1985/86 but it looks nicer. I'm always big fan of Sky Blue (White logos), White Shorts and Sky Blue socks. Also I always like Red and Black Away kit but I also like Maroon Away kit too like 2017/18 which also had a good home shirt.

Beautiful shirt! Never realised they were quite so rare. Mine’s in pretty much mint condition- I wore it once I think. XL and now wondering whether to keep it or sell it.

A thing of beauty. By the way Mark did you sort your ticket out after the Bournemouth match I think? Saw you struggle to get in with it.

My Dad gave me his 1981 shirt last year when he moved house. The embroided badge. It is immaculate.

Got it in a frame over the stairs with my centenary cup final flag. First trip to Wembley aged 10.

I was at both finals, I was 16 at the time, even missing two of my O levels, I think tech drawing and history.

I did mate thank you and I think there was a few Gremlins in the City system that afternoon !!

Now I know it’s not 80’s but I’m delighted to add this 1992/93 Premier League away match worn third shirt into the collection today.

A style worn on seven occasions during the campaign by both Fitzroy Simpson and Garry Flitcroft.

By far one of the, if not hardest 1990’s City match shirts to find with a reported one set produced.

1989/90 First Division Umbro match worn shirt set which would see City appear in three different style away shirts in the same season for the first time since the 72/73 campaign.

Dennis Tueart 1980 Transatlantic Challenge Cup match worn shirt v AS Roma on 26th May 1980.

Tueart was sent off in the closing stages following a punch-up with Roma players Turone & Spinosi and didn’t get to swap shirts which the majority of players did following the final match of the tournament in New York that the Blues won 3-2 with goals from Steve Daley, Paul Sugrue and Kaziu Deyna.
