If you look on that site Arsenal wore claret and blue stripes (1895-96) as one of their early kits...another club influenced by Villa perhaps?

I don't like it at all and well over-priced.

The subtlety of it is what makes it appealing.  Only those who know will know, the rest will be left thinking.

The Small Heath one is as bad. The same fat Cantona lookalike modelling it as well.

Looks like he's getting ready for bed

Oh yeah, it's a Lambretta jumper, or is it Gatecrasher?

Sorry, but no thanks.

Anyone read the article about us playing in Small Heath shirts in the 1950s due to an FA ruling! Makes you shudder thinking about it.

While we're talking kits, does anyone know why we wore they striped kit for the '57 Cup Final?  It's something that's puzzled me for many a year.
