I had the same, my rag brother in law ( now ex) used to say “paying for that shite, you have been done” another example of their arrogance, he certainly wouldn’t be taking the piss these days.

You were lucky if the Phillips run shop even stocked them - as for printing....No one. they didn't have names on shirts
My first one was a black/red striped away shirt from the early/mid 70s, definitely no name on it (about 2 decades too early).
From memory also probably no number (but would have been no 8 if any) I do remember the badge being very 'glittery' though!
Pretty sure it was a Christmas pressie which I'd imagine my parents would probably have had to order direct from the club shop by sending off a cheque or even a postal order
(anyone remember them?).
A coupIe of years later I got the blue one with the 'big fuck off Harry Hill style collar'
horrible itchy material but loved the shirt.
Name printing still wasn't a thing then, but if it was it would have been Tueart on the back of that shirt (for obvious reasons!)

I got my first City shirt from Donaldsons sports on Hyde Road. It was sky blue with white round neck and cuffs. My favourite player was David “Waggy” Wagstaffe a tricky winger who went to Wolves. My Mam sewed a number “11” on the back bless her but one of the “1”’s was not quite straight !
Looking at my grandson who’s 6 - and a fifth generation blue - it’s number 9 Haarland of course.

Probably my hair as I had a bit of a mullet as a kid in the 80s.

When I was a kid, you just bought a generic light blue shirt and sewed the City badge on it. No names on shirts back then, and no squad numbers.
