Nicked from the ever reliable 'Old Rugby Shirts' website. I was only born in 1986 so fair to say I don't remember that shirt!

We used that same design for 2 seasons. In 1987 Halbro supplied it but in 1988 Umbro were the manufacturer. Umbro's replica shirts also had their logo and the town crest sewn in. I used to have one back in the day.

I think the first GM Buses one was 88-89? The sponsor was massive and took up the entire front of the shirt.

The season after it was smaller, always picture Chris Johnson and Ian Jeffries in those tops!
