Think David Shaw, (the LEP columnist) has the LEI shirt.

Aye he does that.

There I was at Derby for the playoff semi looking smug in my 1992/93 Coloroll piece when Dave appears in his classic retro 80s affair.

I then looked the other way and saw the one time Qunicy's DJ guy in the all yellow Garrats shirt.

Had it not been for Carlpne I may have been able to respond with the aforementioned Adidas yellow top but when bidding rose to over £100 I gave up.

Re: Retro Kits

Has anyone a picture of the kit after the Hobott one, the matchwinner kit with the badge in the middle?

On a side issue, i v been gazing at the hobott kit for bout twenty minutes and got all nostalgic - its my favourite ever north end kit. What was the away strip, can't remember it

My first proper kit when i was a nipper. If my memory is right was Merrigolds sports shop the only place you could buy the kit?? Also, anyone remember the PNE shop in the old stand? very small and only sold programmes & badges etc...? ahh what memories.

Yes I do - in the West Stand. What I remember from it was all the One-off /Original Match Pennants from all the Foreign Tours the Club used to go on in the Summer Breaks. Obvoiusly these were 'priceless' one-offs / not for sale and whilst interesting & attractive they would be gradually deteriorating & getting gradually tattier year after year. Plus taking up room for summat to sell, too. Odd. I wonder what happened to them?

It was made by Scoreline and was worn by arguably the most exciting Preston team in modern times, plus Neil Williams. I don't have a picture to hand, but my yellow away shirt is tooked away safely at home. Such a shirt in mint condition would be hard to find as the badge was made of thin felt which tended to fade quite quickly.
 
Re: Retro Kits

i have great memories of Mooney wearing that kit. Didn't love it as much as the hobott kit, but it was great all the same

If you go to Hobbycraft you could maybe do it yourself at a lot less cost than getting it done professionally. I did a wedding bouquet in a 3D frame...again it's not cheap cheap but will deffo be cheaper than having it done at a frame shop.

Box frames - used for framing 3D items such as bridal bouquets, decoupage, dolls house scenes, shells, stamps, floral items, medals, coins and holiday mementoes. These are available with and without partitions and come in a variety of depths. Don't forget the silicone seal.

Thats brilliant ...
Thanks for your help.

One of these days i will regret not getting it framed !

Time to pull my finger out....

Didn't Scoreline go bust and we had the exact same kit only rebranded as Ribero for a season? (before the Ribble Valley Shelving sponsered Ribero Kit with the blue flashes on the sleeve)

We actually changed manufacturer and the design of the kit halfway through a season, bizarrely, probably because Scoreline did indeed go bust. The first game was at Whitley Bay where John Motson announced we were wearing a new kit to mark the occasion. It turned out to be one of my favourite shirts and it's lasted well, plus it too looked good on Mooney (Mooney looked good in anything to be fair). We only used it for a few months before the triangles came out.

Centurion Art in Leyland do it, but it ain't cheap.It's by the Mcdonalds roundabout.

Out of interest I have a fine retro pne fleece on ebay, XL generous fit and in good condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That big, would even fit the jolly postman!

it went rather cheap didn't it? lol shame really, thought it would go higher.
 
Re: Retro Kits

How many shirts between say 1985 and 2000 last more than one season?

I'm beginning to think it was the last two home shirts of the 90s and that red and blue shirt that had to be kept because our blue and white away strip didn't solve any clashing issues.

Certainly early 1990s saw two new kits every campaign.

Before the little shop was there, I remember buying my badges and patches from there, wasn't the shop on the corner of a row of houses opposite the Pavillion entrance? I vaguely remember going in there and buying some badges?
