Retro Tops

[alanjames24]

I love 'em, although the 1989 home shirt tears up my nipples.

Glad to see they've added some new ones. My fav's are the 96 home shirt and the 94 centenary shirt, both less than 30 quid..

Used to go on a website to buy people's used shirts. no need anymore.

Must admit I'm gutted they re-released the 1999 away shirt as used in the play off final. I still have my original. God knows what possessed me to buy it at the time because it's a bleeding awful looking shirt, but I treasure it now. However, now anyone can buy it at the club store, it taken a bit of shine off owning an original.

How do you work that out?

The re-released one has many differences to the original, only JCL's won't know the difference!

And..... it's a great shirt!

Yip, still got the original (and it still fits), also wear the silver - blur and white stripes shirt quite often around home, though most people round here know that I am a blue and not a JCL (mainly from the amount of times I rocked into the local just before lock-in on the way home from games when it was still possible to fly home after a game

Yeah I know that, the new one doesn't even have the Kappa badge on it. But it still makes it a little less special to me personally. And as for it being a great shirt, surely you mean because it is the shirt we wore on that day?

Nope.....its a great shirt ...........and wearing genuine (Retro) shirts is one way of distinguishing yourself from the Tourists

How so?
Walking into the Stade De Luz before the Zenit Benfica game last season I seen another lad with a genuuine City top on from about four or five years ago, it was a Zenit St Petersburg fan who had bought it before the UEFA Cup final who didnt speak any English, probably what would be described as a tourist.

Can anyone shed any light on the sizing of the Score Draw shirts? I want the 1970 home shirt but can't find a Score Draw size guide anywhere. Does a medium match up to the medium stuff from Umbro?

Aha! I don't wear the shirts at the games anyway, I'm in my thirties. But I like to wear retro shirts to show my colours when over seas.
But as for the this shirt, I love it as it's a reminder of where we was not so long ago, and it shows I was there when we was shite.
But as it being a great looking shirt, it's hideous! It was a typical division two shirt. It's fuckin' illuminous for a start!
