upperwinngardensowl Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I Had the “Arsenal in blue” Wednesday shirt and it was dead comfortable. I didn’t know any better as It was bought for me when I was a kid and now only like proper blue and white stripes. At some point I also had a red, yes red, top with white round collar and white cuffs. About 20% of clubs had that. I do not own any item of red clothing now I am in charge Edited October 7, 2020 by upperwinngardensowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt special living in Sharrow, most of the kids were United supporters but weren't very vocal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a blue and white striped one before this but discovered it was actually a Baggies shirt as the stripes were a much darker blue...that one stayed in the bottom of the drawer! Jumpin Jimmy McCalliog modelling it...so nicknamed by wags on the Kop when he started jumping when the tackles came in from the likes of Hunter, Chopper Harris et al!

Emerson Thome Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I honestly can't remember. I definitely owned this one, so its probably the earliest.... But it's possible I had one from a couple of years earlier with the more traditional stripes. Or am I getting confused with the 97/98 kit - which I still have, but is bobbled to hell. Strange that I can't remember - I still have a 'Wednesday at Wembley' scarf from '93 which is the earliest piece of Wednesday gear I own. Bizarrely the first football shirt I ever had was an Aston Villa shirt, at about the age of 4. Bizarre as none of my family are from Birmingham or Villa fans. My paternal side are all Wednesday and i've got quite a lot of relatives from the North East who are Newcastle/Sunderland. I think an uncle got it cheap from a market somewhere.
