angrysteve 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Surely the club shop could offer a shirt with stripes on the back for those who don't want to get a name and number? Everyone's a winner then. I remember the Asics shirt in '93 had stripes on the back and when I decided to get a name/number a couple of months down the line when I'd saved up my pocket money they added the patch along with the number. Not that I'd buy the new shirt either way to be honest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There's no PL requirement that says a club with stripes needs to add a patch. It's a decision made by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4231 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There's no PL requirement that says a club with stripes needs to add a patch. It's a decision made by the club. as said, it depends on the colour of the numbers the club chooses to have if we had red or blue or gold we wouldn't need a patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Strange how some people would rather have a sh*t patch instead of stripes plus we have had red numbers throughout our history before the f*ckIng premier league. We had red numbers at least as far back as the 50s. Probably before that too tbf. Although tbh since 1987 we've had a patch more often than we haven't. Only times I can recall we had numbers and no patch are 1995-97 & 1999-2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Regarding patches, what do you think of the shield solution (97-99) ? Edited July 16, 2012 by hostile_statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hate that top. On the other hand it was nice when adidas actually made bespoke kits for us. Now they and Puma deal mainly with templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Quite like it, think I'll be getting a Bafra one. Also that trackie top is lush. I've been looking for a France one but might change my mind...let's not stand too close to each other at an away game, J69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Strange how some people would rather have a shit patch instead of stripes plus we have had red numbers throughout our history before the fucking premier league. Oh, why've had red numbers in the past? Sorry, doesn't change my opinion one bit. And that shield was fucking horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30480 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Got a match-worn David Batty top in the hoose somewhere (adidas one with the shield on the back, the one after the Grandad collar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27003 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Got this as worn by David Kelly; (Trouble is it's a fucking Large!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30480 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Class. Got a Pedro match-worn one too (adidas 'denim' blue one that was the away top the 2nd season of the home grandad collar kit iirc). Forgot I had that. I think the last one I bought was the Asics home kit when we first came up. 2J blames that top for our relegation but we won't go into that.

Besty 4 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The backs not pumas fault though, as long as we insist on black or white numbers the PL rules mean we have to have a patch What box? Bottom left, the spikes make a sort of box. Looks weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I can't dissociate that shield kit from the horrific Dalglish and Gullit years. And it looked crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It looks quite smart, it would be perfect without the spikes & the patch on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabayeAye Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hate that top. On the other hand it was nice when adidas actually made bespoke kits for us. Now they and Puma deal mainly with templates. Completely agree. The 95-97 kits were head and shoulders above anything else. The puma kits have all been chavvy shite, apart from this year's purple kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27003 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm glad Shola is finally using his Jedi powers to full effect: Ball: "How long have you been at this club? Let me see your identification." Shola: "You don't need to see my identification." Ball: "We don't need to see his identification" Shola: "You will go in the Mackem's net. I'm not the Mackem Destroyer you are looking for, I'll move along now." Ball: "Ok, move along now, I'll go in the mackem's net. This isn't the Mackem Destroyer we are looking for."
