1980's Umbro City Shirts

Funnily enough, my favorite as well, Classic city :-)

Last seasons shirt is also popular but mainly because of the tribute to The King inside and also the badge position which was a masterstroke by Puma and their best selling City shirt to date.

My fave. Never wear it but absolutely love it.

I remember us playing QPR on a Sunday away - we had stayed the night before in Windsor and the following morning i woke up with a monumental hangover - seeing this at Loftus Road trotting out didnt help to soothe my poor old napper

The 80's are by far my favourite decade and style for shirts but I'd go for this 1973/74 as a favourite which just screams City every time for me.

That's Colin Bell's 73/74 match worn shirt

Presumably a heavier material? What’s the quality/feel like compared to current shirts? Thanks

Compared to some of the shite Puma (and Nike before them) have served up, the 80s shirts weren't that bad.

*Controversial opinion alert* I actually liked the red and black chequered shirts. There; I said it.


Awaits incoming....

@City_Shirts Do you collect other memorabilia, or is it just match worn shirts?

I've got the match ball from the 2011/12 home derby, won by Vincent Kompany's shiny bonce, along with POA certificate - my pride and joy.

I usually just stick to shirts but that’s a lovely piece for sure so feel free to give me a nudge when you are ready to part with it :-)

They are certainly heavier but they also scream football shirts over todays paper thin shirts
