Classic Kits......

As it's quiet on here today here's something to discuss...

Last night watching the Leicester/Sevilla game what struck me was the simplicity and classiness of the Sevilla kit, a plain white shirt with red trimmings (No sponsor), white shorts and red socks. It looked superb IMO and put the current England kit, effectively the same but with the abomination of light blue sleeves to shame. The Sevilla one was made by New Balance and makes Nike look like a T Shirt manufacturer......

Also really liked the 50th anniversary kit we wore against Cardiff the other week......

Any others out there or in the past that deserve a mention......could also expand it to the worst kits ever as well.

 

I remember the friendly with Glasgow Rangers. Out came the team wearing red and black stripes, black shorts, black stockings with a red trim. Thought this side looks meaty and was astonished to find it was us. That was our away strip that season, impressive it was too.Coventry's chocolate coloured kit must be up there as one of the worse. Surprised Micky Quinn didn't eat it

 

Red/Black strips were a favourite change strip in the late 60's early 70's, think Man City were one of the first in Cup Final. Coventry had a Green/Black strip change kit which they wore at HQ in that legendary cup replay with Stanley scoring with the last kick of the game......

Always liked our Red/White quarters shirt that we wore in mid 70's especially when beating the likes of Spurs & Chelsea on their own patch. The red and white half & half change kit was tasty as well.......

 

Tramore, It is true. It is very quiet on the forum.

It is almost as if the season has finished.

 

In ascending order
Classic 1970s Spurs shirt.
White with just the cockerill....black shorts

Also 1960s Plymouth Argyle shirt.
White with a single green band with the crest in the middle....awesome

Bradford Park Avenue had a similar shirt about the same time,
White with red and yellow bands (liked that one because it reminded me of Melchester Rovers)

But best by far was the QPR Guinness shirt...iconic beyond belief

Yup, lovely isn't it, I have a feeling their away kit was green and reversed...with a white band
The WHU is Okay, but not as subtle as the Plymouth and Bradford PA ones

I'd forgotten about Norwich's bird poo design.

 

These Palace kits were rather nice at the time...

The original Brum kit from the 1970's

 

The striped shirt is a classic design.

 

Looks like they were made from off cuts from a Belgian flag manufacturer.
