[jimharri]

You mean this hideous monstrosity? And the shirt was pretty awful too!

I could have sworn that they did a brown version of the Talbot kit. Just had a quick Google though (Oo-err), and I can only see what look like mock ups of such a shirt. I must have been thinking of that aesthetic beauty you've posted there.





The kit, that is!

Tommy Caton, Paul Power and, I think, Nicky Reid?

Yep, definitely Nicky Reid.

I think you may struggle, because to my memory, the replica kit for fans just had the city badge and umbro logo. They didn't sell that kit with the SAAB logo.

I think the first replica kit with a sponsors logo was the phillips one.

It's an original match shirt I'm after mate.

I have the shirt with the black SAAB sponsor but not the one we used for the first few games with the white SAAB.

I had the away kit for that season, the white top with the thin black stripes running diagonally down it I think. Black Saab lettering

One of my favorite ever city shirts, sold mine (without the saab logo) on ebay years ago, for about £300 which I was very pleased with at the time?

Hoping someone may be able to help or point me in the right direction as I’m looking to add a 1982-83 Home match shirt with the white SAAB sponsor which is the only 80's style home match shirt missing in the collection.

The sponsor was changed to black after just a few games at the request of the new club sponsors.

Serious cash offer waiting and a finders fee also offered for any help in securing this shirt into the collection, check those lofts and cupboards as you might just have stashed away !!

Direct message if you can help.

How were Coventry allowed such a large sponsors logo?
