Golden Jubilee - 50 years of pain

[Guest alex]

Used to love the two (I think there were just two) silver/grey umbro away kits from the mid-late 80s.

[manc-mag 1]

One of them was basically the Watford home one but in grey/black instead of yellow red/black. That one with the grey and black band across the chest. Class that one.

Aye. That was my fave too. The other one was grey with black pin stripes.

All away kits listed here.... (they've even remember the one-off blue one that we wore at Luton instead of the silver one that season).

the sixties kits were very simple and clean - some of them since have been pretty ugly TBH

Do you look like Dennis Priestley?

The old umbro one which you can get a copy of in the club shop (minus the umbro badge) was one of those wasn't it?

 

 

The V neck one, that we got promoted in aye. As was the slightly ameded roundy neck one that replaced it I think (the one minus the trim on the sleeves) - up to the roundy neck one with the sort of small overlayed square pattern on that replaced that. Basically up to the bar code one, which I think started getting sold with a Greenalls logo and then later the Blue Star.

 

The Blue star patches that people could buy to put over the old Greenalls logo were a fucking sight like!

 

I remember when we finally had the 'raised' Greenalls logo on the yellow away strip with the collar, rather than the screenprinty logos-felt like we'd arrived then (even though we were gash!)

 

Some joker's trying to sell one on ebay for £45!!

I cant remember the first game, only that iy was against a european side and someone (for them) called Johnny something scored a belter.

 

Bastia. Johnny Rep, who ran the game.

apart from Nattrass that's typical of the rubbish teams we've had for too long
