Andrew 4218 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 28 minutes ago, Noelie said: Why are they called 'strips'? It is derivative of the germanic word "stropen" and is used in this context as the uniform to which a sportsman strips down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can remember first hand when in 1897 Braithwaite Academicals had their shirts ripped off by the fans of opposing Newbiggin United and the FA at the time adopted the word ‘strip’?

In the early days of football 1880s players wore all kinds of "jerseys" goalies wore caps, confusion all over the shop Popular designs were self-coloured or hooped, (described as "striped") is probably where "strip" came from. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/History.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man Noelie C'mon Dougle, simple question to see what answers would come up. Remember being told to strip by a medical doctor but can't remember what war, Boer maybe. 1897 was a couple of years before my interest in football piqued.

Howmanheyman 26793 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The sponsor, man. This years home shirt is actually a very good effort especially by recent times but it's all somewhat wasted by a sponsor who wouldn't look out of place on the front of a lower league side like Hartlepool, Carlisle, Darlington or a Sunderland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle 2853 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Looks canny to me, as long as we have stripes on the back. And just to add... whilst the FUN88 looks shite I'd prefer anything to the previous thing.... christ even Netto would have beat that.
