Just been tidying the loft, and found this little number from the 80's.

Had a brief discussion with NorthernSoul, and think it from 86/87 season. Can anyone put the confirmers on this?

Going to get it framed I think.

That kit is top banana mate. North End wore it for two seasons, 86/87 (promotion season) and 87/88.

That would be class, but do Toffs make 'shiny' shirts?

I was under the impression that they only produce heavy material ones and don't go any later than the 1970s.

The reproduction of the 'Beckham' Coloroll shirt from 1994 that the club made was awful.

Re: Retro Kits

Still got a little tight fitting number with LEI (Lombard Elizibethan Insurance) on the front. Anyone know when this kit was worn?

I think the main reason they don't go any later than the 1970s is because they can't put sponsors' names/shirt manufacturers on them. Let's face it, that kit would look totally wrong without Garratt's/Hobott emblazoned on it.

They do do shiny (polyester) shirts though, just very few of them:

LEI was from the re-election season, 1985/86.*

* Actually, when I think about it, in 1985/86 the shirt read 'LOMBARD CONTINENTAL' - the season before (1984/85) it read 'LEI' with a naff picture of a sailing ship next to it.

84/85? Another top quality shirt and a lot rarer than the Garratts.

Why for charity? Not being selfish or anything, but Wizard already contributes to lots of good causes.

Was that the one made by John Harrison? LEI was the 2nd sponser on that design of shirt, I had the one with PONTINS on but sponsers changed over the summer but the kit design remained the same.
Wish I still had that shirt, wouldn't fit but good for nostalgia purposes, I think my mum through it out years ago, when I grew out of it

Ropers don't count as charity red.

Does anyone know the best place to get Footy shirts framed ??

I have got a very important one that have been waiting to get framed since 1999, but have never got around to it !

One of these days it will get lost or turn a funny colour !
 
Re: Retro Kits

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!
