alfonso123 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Have a Crosby Kitchens shirt with no.2 on the back (Mel Sterland I think) from the 80's - the old man used to work there. Material is fookin' horrible! Who manufactured that kit? Was it Bukta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest clumber58 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Crosby Kitchens wasn't from 1981, only from Spring of 1984 Thanks. I knew someone would post at least one correction. BTW. I cut and pasted the list from the SWFC page on Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think Mr Tom only began from the Leeds game that was on TV, didn't it? So it would've started in Jan '92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonso123 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Lee Chapman's first game was August 25th 1984, yet on this pic there's no sponsor's name. Was there a lull between Crosby Kitchens and MHS at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a lull between Crosby Kitchens and MHS at some point? Yes. Crosby Kitchens ran from spring 84 to the end of the season I think. When we played in Division One (none of that Premiership nonsense back then) we changed the kit supplier to Umbro and were sponsorless again. I think MHS took over later in the season. I remember getting that new Umbro kit for Christmas. It was all lovely and shiny, I loved it until the letters on the Umbro started falling off. Around Boxing Day.

So true- i had the yellow & yellow stripy one! It amazes me that some clubs, even nowadays, will go without a sponsor. Presumable because no one will pay what they want- surely anything is better than nothing or helping a local charity is even better than that!

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Who manufactured that kit? Was it Bukta? Certainly was, if I'm picturing the right shirt. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest will_b_goode Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Can't really remember the 80's but I seem to remember seeing picture of Wednesday shirts with Fly KLM on them. Or was that something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manwithastick Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I wouldn't change it, stick with the SCH Me too, though i'd try to find a second sponsor for the back or the shirt (if allowed - has to be worth investigating) such as a pharmacutecal company - summat linked. I believe we are the only club to have had an original Salvador Dali picture on our shirts. Didn't he do the chupa chups logo? he did indeed. I love the logo and the sponsorship - a true worldwide product.

ctpgrant Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Chuppa Chups - usual response was because either "your team sucks" (to be fair at the time we did) or (also true) "you get licked by everyone" Typical Wednesday, cheap sponsors making us a laughing stock! Hardly cheap sponsors! Easily the biggest company we've ever had take interest in Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
