    Well we need some trivia to fill this international gap.
    Also would ndering if I am the tightest on here,

    my choice for a match day is the 1936/37 cup winning top with the original badge. I got it for Xmas 1999, so it will be a quarter of a century old at Xmas.

    Anybody get an older shirt?

    Yes.


    1996-1997-sunderland-roker-park-home.jpg

    96/97 roker shirt.
    Only one I have left.
    Gave older ones to my son.
    Some got thrown after getting ripped by washing machines. Etc.

    I'll be wearing it to the smog game :D

    I always try to wear the same old scruffy T Shirt I've had for about 10 years as I wore it once to the match and we won therefore it instantly became a lucky T Shirt. I always go through turnstile 30 as well as if I don't we won't win.

    I did neither of these things for the Burnley game by the way proving no correlation between anything but I will be doing them for the next home game I'm at. Think it's Derby on the 1st October.

    Seen the stinking state we've been in the last 10 years...

    Didn't consider binning the shirt???

    Rowell Blue retro top, but have purchased a couple of this season's shirts so will rotate going forward (results dependent obviously)

    I always wear the same lucky socks and underpants, since the 73 FA Cup win, and refuse to wash them until we win something major again ...

    ... sadly the lads I used to travel with gradually stopped coming so I drive to matches on my own these days.

    I suspect they'll return if we start winning things <whistle>

    It's handy at away matches ...

    ... the stewards never seem that keen to do a body search <whistle>

    No wonder they usher you in quickly... and here's me thinking it was your gift of the gab

    Lucky socks, then it's a choice between 2004/5 or 2014/15 shirts. Saddly, earlier ones no longer fit. They must have shrunk in the wash :)

    Looking at those dates, I must be due an update to a 2024/25 shirt once they are no longer current and the prices are reasonable.

    Then I'm making more washing for myself as I can't sit still and end up slopping beer or food all down my shirt if we score or conceed.
