The '57 kit was our away kit

Yup yup. Both teams played in their away kit in the final.

Not exactly. Ours was a one-off.

A one-off away kit, if there's such a thing. in 56, Blues and Man City both wore away kits in the final. As did Everton and Albion in 68

FA rules stated that, if there was a colour clash, both sides would have to wear away kits

I had never bothered to think why Albion and Everton both wore away kits in 1968.. Also had always assumed our cup final kit was the regular away kit.

The club provide a huge pack about colours and brand identity to the kit supplier and have done as far as I am aware since agreeing on the exact colours during the rebranding with Nike. Not sure how much leeway they get with it though but I liked the macron colours.

We basically played in Queens Park's kit for a season then.

according the notes underneath it, a one off indeed...

In December 1956 a new sky blue shirt was introduced. This was the first season that the club badge was worn on the shirts and culminated in an FA Cup win in 1957 when the team wore a dramatic pin striped shirt - apparently to provide sufficient contrast for TV coverage.

Like the way you pay per letter for someone's name on your shirt, you should be able to pay to have the fucking sponsor removed. It's one of the biggest reasons I rarely buy them. You can have a really decent looking kit and then you have the shittest eyesore possible. Sponsors like Flamingo Land on Hull's kit in massive letters. That must be a real downer.

The only kit I've bought for the last few years is the checked one and it's because I managed to get a version without the sponsor, looks much better without the genting logo across it.

How did you manage to get one without the sponsor?

Maybe he washed it loads of times?

Ha. Tru say dat. I wonder if there is a decent way of removing it without leaving any marks? Steam the shit out of it?

[Richard E]

Maybe he washed it loads of times?

Or even just once, if we are talking about the white and blackcurrant number from a couple of years ago.

I was just about to say the same thing. It was the nike away checked one and there was about 3 weeks difference between the kit release date and the appointment of the sponsor (Genting at the time, i think) Eitherway, they ran a limited production at sports direct which you could then go and take to the club shop after and have the sponsor put on it, I would be gobsmacked if anyone did.

Heres an idea, they should offer a sponsorless shirt at a £10 premium. All extra over proceeds should be given back to quickbooks to give to their appointed charity. The extra good publicity generated would probably outweigh that gained from the logo on the shirt. Id certainly pay it anyway.

I may email the villa with that one..
