Popular Post nickswfc Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 Remember how difficult it used to be to take this monstrosity off after a kickabout or gym session? Thousands of Wednesday fans in changing rooms wasting valuable hours trying to rip this away after a single drop of sweat superglued it to their backs, whilst their mates had alrealy showered, changed and were in the pub wtf was it made of!? Anyone moaning about the current kids can s0d off 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 What a time to be alive. I will say that possibly 2006/07 in that kit is my favourite season for the last 25 years. We started appallingly under Sturrock and I would have bet my house on us going down after the thumping by Colchester. We were skint and the players looked like League 1 players. The run under Sean Mcauley and Laws for the rest of the season was the first time since relegation in 2000 that we looked a good team that could compete in the championship. We played terrific attacking football at times . Memories! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It's an utter abomination of a shirt, isn't it? The stripes are too wide; the badge is in the wrong place; the sleeves are white; the sponsor look crap; and it seems to have been designed more as a wingsuit than a football shirt, using approx. twice the material actually needed, which creates billowing flaps beneath the arms and down the flanks. And that's to say nothing of the actual material. F*cking rank. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 We have had some bad shirts but compared to the Ipswich shirt of a few season ago no chairman has ever been so self important to take the stripes away......... wait a minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It was like a parachute. If you ran it was pretty much like resistance training. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I remember that era *shudders* didn’t we not score a goal for like 7/8 games in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan and Brunt were on fire, along with the likes of Simek. Tudgay and Burton both contributing double figures too. Sadly, within about 6 or so months we had lost both Brunt and Whelan.

TheEnchanter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Didn't we finish 9th in that and nearly got in the play offs playing scoring attacking football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we were great to watch. Went on this unbelievable streak in the last third of the season. Think we lost 1 in 13 or something? Won pretty much every game too in that run, beat West Brom away as well. Underrated season 06/07. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That shirt was absolutely disgusting. I don’t know why I owned it, I even went on a date with a girl and wore it. What was I thinking? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she fancied you in that, she'd fancy you in anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have gone up too, if our players weren't hampered by having to play in feckin' wingsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were fantastic from the moment sturrock left. the run up to the Birmingham game, by when sadly Everton had recalled the outstanding goalie turner , was the best football we have played this century. We got something like 26 points from 30. It was so good to see us compete at that level as every other season in the championship had been awful up to that one .

i used to be sc_owl Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Didn’t the run in 06/07 come undone because our loan ‘keeper had to go back with a couple of games remaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmut_rooster Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Was late 20's when that came out, I had to buy Boys XL shirt because adult one were the size of a house!!! People say shirts made in the far east or small, this disaster must have been made in America. Edited October 14, 2021 by helmut_rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosborough-owl Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 One of the worst shirts I can remember. It was baggy but tight. It didn’t stretch. It was like a cardboard marital? All sizes seem to be the same. Bizarre kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a likeable team managed by Brian Laws, who other than Carlos has come by far the closest to doing anything at this club in 20 odd years. A shame then that it should be associated with what I genuinely think might be one of the most hideous football shirts of all time, and that's just to look at it, nevermind feel the material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really rated Laws; he seemed to get the club, the fans, the weight of expectation and history, without letting it become a millstone around his neck. I was gutted when we sacked him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gutted when we sacked him. Yeah agreed - tbf Dave Allen did well in appointing him. He left you scratching your head sometimes with the things he said (funnily enough I think he used milestone instead of millstone around the neck in one of his pressers), but he didn't seem to overcomplicate things. He had defenders who just defended (Simek, Wood, Beevers, Spurr, Hills) and got the ball out wide to Johnson and Brunt. Played with the freedom of no expectation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
