SteveEarle 9,680 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It's a nice top but I'm still not sure about all the white on the shoulders. Should be blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No names or numbers on the back either. My mother made up a No 5 and sewed it on for me. Yeah me too. My first one was the plain Royal Blue about 70/71 and got my aunt to embroider the crest so it wouldn't wash out ! (still my favourite shade of blue Rangers top ) . Think that lasted about 10 years iirc. Not on me btw , but the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be sure but I think it was Umbro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was common for other years. To be fair, only you and those close to you would know that. The rest of us haven't a clue where you got your other strips.

Best birthday present ever was the full red away kit in a box. Bright red, with the huge red white & blue collar typical of the 70's. I was the only one at my primary school with this kit, I was the bee's knees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my first glimpses of a new strip would usually of been in the paper. There was a boy I went to school with who always seemed to have the new top a good few days before they went on sale, fuck knows how he managed that. Think his dad was the manager of a sports shop or somthing. Correct me if im wrong but did we not used to wear the new strip for the last couple of games of the season? Bought my first strip from Camerons Sports in Larkhall,came in a box with the shorts and socks lol,£5.25 ,bought with my tips off the milk run. ps was the Umbro one with the white collar with the red and blue stripes,1978 or 79.

LOL, if you mean us ancients then I can't say I remember folk cutting around the toon with replica tops on, we were lucky if we had a scarf haha!!, if memory serves me right I think that fad may have begun around the 80's maybe.

In the 50's/60's only kids wore replica strips. Nae room for a hip flask for the adults. My first scarf was royal blue cotton with narrow red and white diagonal stripes, cut on the diagonal to a point at each end. Later got the matching bunnet.
