Where do you all think it ranks? Yes it was the losing kit for the playoffs, some would say it was ugly,but for me it marks the start of a great time in our history. We haven't won cups etc, but once the 98 season was finished we came back, smashed the old first Division wearing Blue away,then several great years in the Premiership. The 98 play defeat was a kick up the backside that started the Reid era. That day we wore gold, it had Lamptons on the front. IMO a classic Sunderland away kit.
I love it. I've still got mine. I collect shirts (particularly 80s and 90s ones, not just ours) and its still one of my favourites. The colour, the design, the sponsor- its a classic.
They were great shirts for us fans but the players didn’t like them - especially the yellow one. It would absorb water when it rained.
I had QUINN 9 on the back of mine. Got it done in Birthdays in the town. Mid teens and 6 foot (grew a bit more) but felt fitting to have the big mans name on my back.
Absolute quality. I still have those shirts plus a ling sleeve home top. Lamptons was a cracking sponsor.
Ha we did the same but up at Silksworth. Was canny outdoors in the cold. It sure it would’ve been as good for 5 a side.
Definitely. Good times back then. I worked at Vaux. Used to love picking up my 36 cans every 4 weeks. Lambtons n double mainly.
I only kept my roker park avec commemorative shirt, Gave some to my lad, One or two ripped from the washing machine and think i binned the gold one a year or so ago
Think mine are at my mams, I retrieved my vaux home too from there for wembley but the x is hanging off so didn’t wear a top, my girls did though
This is Sunny. One of the kittens born this year. I had to keep him, he's my good luck Sunderland Black Cat. HA'WAY
