I'd love to see it, you got a copy? It is it the 1890's halves strip that we all know really? No don't have a copy. Only seen it once on a ground tour.

Sod the fact that I've made about 6 kits so far, I've gone to town on it now... ...this one is based on the yellow kits of the 70's (collar and style) but with the stripes of the 80's and a hint of the '98/00 kit (just a feint hint). Genuinly love this kit. Simple and elegant and with a nod to just the right eras and STRIPES! blue turnover with white stripe on socks and that it mate - you won, maybe?

Dwarfersmeg Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 21 hours ago, Wild Will Smith said: Never seen a photo or illustration of it either, the Historical Kits website attributes it to the book "The Romance of the Wednesday" which said we wore "blue and white quarters like Blackburn Rovers" in the 1886-87 season. They then totally contradict themselves by depicting the kit in that era (1886-1890) as being halves (in their little illustration things) which we definitely DO have a photo of... I would love to know what's going on with the confusion there... Does anyone know if the J.Smith is Jack Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, modern take on the "quarters" kit (which I think is fairly obviously a halves kit)... not that the competition is for a home shirt, I just can't sleep and I'm playing around...

TheEnchanter Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The only thing with a blue and white 3rd kit is it'd never get used as it's so similar to what the home kit would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 presume called quarters because it's 4 panels: 2 on front + 2 on back back = because a lot of us would like a traditional striped 1st kit people are putting that forward but the reason behind club initiative is to design the 150th kit which they intend to be a 3rd kit I've already said that I'd like the 150th to actually be the 1st team shirt not the 3rd and as such have weaved through it or portrayed on it somehow our cup wins and titles in gold haven't seen one yet that adequately presents history tradition how I'd like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 it also needs to look good on lads like these who won us our history ( reckon hutch would fitted in that team if not the coat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
