Re: Retro Kits
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.

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.

Re: Retro Kits
I too had the full kit and used to wear it with immense pride during primary school PE lessons, when I used to dazzle the other youngsters in my Preston Market bought no brand football boots, while I pretended to be Gary Brazil.
Awesome.

Re: Retro Kits
just on a slight tangent, i collect old school adidas, 75 pieces and counting, and have promised all those bored of my obsession that i will pack it in when i find one of the two holy grails :
A pair of 70's adidas jeans, larry levan/ new york/ paradise garage.
Or the PNE adidas top. I know none of you will be able to help with the former, but the latter?
We're talking bout paying top dollar, if you know of anyone who has one and to whom money is king, let me know - remember, i will pay lots!!!
please help, i have spoken to a couple of ex players who couldn't help me out

Re: Retro Kits
Good luck mate, I spent 15 years looking for a decent condition adidas Preston shirt. When i visited second hand shops in cities such as London, Amsterdam, even the States, everytime i saw a white/navy adidas sleeve my heart started racing only to be disappointed when i lifted up the hanger to see no PNE badge. Eventually i got sorted on ebay and it's now in the safe. Keep your eyes peeled, that's all i'd say, there have been two on ebay over the past few years.
Whilst we're on the subject, anybody got a good condition yellow Garratt's Insurance 86-88 shirt?

Re: Retro Kits
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.

Re: Retro Kits
It was something to do with Ronnie Hildersley, apparently he is a hobbot. Or perhaps, maybe someone whose read Lord Of The Rings could clear this one up for me?

Re: Retro Kits
It would fit but knowing the owners, no way they'll sell. One went on ebay for about £90 I think about a year ago.

Re: Retro Kits
I'll try to get a photo of the LEI shirt posted on here (away yellow).
I was wearing it on the front of the North Ender magazine a few years back when the club had an old shirts theme day.
Fulwood Gallery recently framed a signed Tom Finney autographed shirt for me not cheap though!
