I’ve seen a few pop up on ‘Wire on this day’ twitter page and the 2009 top white with the V was also nice. I still prefer the 2005 one as it was baggy like the old days.

Yes the one we won at Wembley with, I still have that shirt in my collection.

2005 shirt is still my favourite kit, loved the look and like you said, bigger fit and made of proper sturdy material rather than the cheap static crap everything is made of now a days.

Not wanting to be disrespectful to the likes of Bensons for Beds, Home Bargains etc because at least it was something which is better than having nothing. But we really need to try get the brands like they have in Union.

to get those sort of brands, we need the sort of fans watching that spend that type of money.


do you not consider Hoover on those levels in terms of company standing?

Don’t know what that means I have the physique of a God But what strikes me most about that shirt it is a heavier better made shirt than what came after it.

Of course Hoover is a massive global brand, though Dyson is much bigger now most people still say they going to hoover the floor. My point is we need more of them. I agree with what you say about the fans and money it’s a bit of a chicken and egg thing need one to get the other going.

waaaay back in 2009, there was a poster, wendall, he may have been one of the wire casuals, or it may have been the wire casuals account itself, the 2 shirts that CCC made had issues, sky complained that you couldn't read the names on the back of the 09 away shirt, but the home one especially , had a bulge in the material in the way they had been manufactured, and he wouldn't stop going on about it in here, every single bloody post.

No player in any professional team is ever likely to wear a loose fitting shirt again, nor probably a shirt with a collar either.

If you mean you liked the shirt being bigger because it was a bigger fit on you, then if you still buy them now just buy a size up from what you normally would and you will achieve the same effect.

This feels like a Viz top tip.

No it was not that it was just imo better material. The match shirts were different than the fan ones and yes I know you could buy them also.
