The one with the round badge is even better imoThe very one but I disagree about the badge. An absolutely superb shirt. Also the claret and blue version which I loved too and I still refer to as a “Lionel Martin” shirt

I've still got my original of this somewhere, I think I have the home one as well. And definitely have the yellow away. I doubt many of my old shirts fit these days though as i'm a tad bigger than the medium/large I used to wear.
If memory serves me right we first wore this under Tommy Doc in a pre-season friendly in 1969 against an Italy under 21 side.The team came out in yellow and blue and were roundly booed ....until everyone realised it was US in such a flamboyant kit. Anybody else remember this?

I’m sorry but it’s time for the now traditional rant about that yellow and blue Brazil style kit. It was an absolute fucking abomination. It was a cheap crap Ellis cash in when we’d just got through to our first FA Cup Qtr final in over a decade and we had to wear that hideous piece of shit in the game at Anfield. What should have been remembered as a valiant if somewhat fruitless attempt to break our Qtr finalHoodoo is now remembered for that absolute travesty of a kit. If it was up to me I’d buy them all, put them in a pile in the Holte End car park, douse them in petrol and burn them to a crisp, every single last fucking one of them. A shoddy, cheap, classless, tacky pile of crap that is a stain on the history of the club. The only good thing about it is the club only wore it I think 3 times in competitive fixtures and it was quickly shelved along with other shit early 90s marketing ideas like Gary Penrice. Fucking hell I hated it, absolute bollocks.
I've got it and an original, perfect replica

Can just about squeeze into mine now.
