It'll be fake as fuck but as near as damn it to one of the best NUFC shirts ever produced. Retro Newcastle LS Home Shirt 1980/1982 | Club Retros I've got the short sleeved version, it's a very good copy of it albeit not perfect a la the material, put it this way, it's basically the score draw version with added umbro diamonds down the sleeve and on the front of the shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14392 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 11 minutes ago, Craig said: Have you got one Tom? I don't necessarily mean that shirt, but one of the fake ones. The Score Draw stuff niggles me that they omit the manufacturing logo - I realise it's a licencing issue but I'd rather get the real fake shit that don't care if they get sued by the likes of Umbro. Yeh I have had a couple down the years. One I bought as an experiment and some I received as gifts from unsuspecting relatives who’ve just ordered something online. Fake doesn’t seem the right word for the older replicas. At lot of the more front facing sites (as linked above) will just be ordering them direct from China anyway - same place as DH Gate. For £50 it can feel a risk, but if I were you I’d search Newcastle United on DH Gate & you’ll get the same shirt delivered for £13 from China Quality wise I dont think the 80s shirts will leave a lot to be desired as the quality wasn’t there anyway. The weight of the fabric on the 90s shirts is a little lighter but its not Im bothered about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore my original 95/96 grandad collar shirt to Covent Garden in March and had one bloke, utterly wrecked, state "I can tell by the faded crest and brown ale badge that's one of the £40 originals and not the piss-poor attempt at a re-release the club are doing for more than double that!"

He wasn't wrong like The re-release had the three stripes slightly misaligned and once you see it you can't unsee it. For £90 it went back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't wrong like Aye tbh my chinese one is class tbh - I’m assuming it was a chinese as it was a gift. But yeh the originals are a different kettle of fish, probably the last shirts we had made in england! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Score Draw ones are more common & basically the same. It’s a shame the club priced Toffs out of it and nobody has stepped up to replace them. Think I had a score draw Brazil / Pele one as a cliched student wanker back in the 90s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried it on but never worn it so can't say if it's any more durable than it's score draw counter part? (I reckon the same people make them, umbro for dh gate companies, no umbro for score draw). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got that one as well, although my lad seems to have decided he's got dibs on it now!

Howmanheyman 38371 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I hate the colour, it's better than the castore green one but everyone of these Saudi green shirts are wank. I don't even think it's because it's green, it's the shade of green. I don't know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London 104 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I stepped out of the office on Tuesday for a break between meetings and there’s a vintage football shirt shop I’ve been popping into for the past 2 years without buying anything. There’s always hundreds of red shirts and rarely any decent United ones. Not sure what happened this week, but they had some classics. The home ‘93 kit. First kit I got bought. As well as the blue and the green away kits with McEwans on the front. Home and away ‘95. They also had the denim away top, with Asprilla on the back. Turned into a very expensive lunch break. Takes me back to being a kid, and the excitement of getting a new kit and being desperate to wear it out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1433 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I think the long sleeve version of that was the last time I bought any of our kit. Been tempted by the white kit this season but never bothered in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
