I've been searching high and low for a retro shirt from the late 70s when we won a trophy or two........classic adidas. Try as I might I can't find one anywhere. anybody have any ideas? Reproduction or original. It seems rather strange I can find shirts from the 50s but none from our glory days. Is there a copyright issue? Apologies if this has been asked before

There's a couple pop up on ebay every so often but you will be stretched to find an original!

I was talking to someone about just this thing at the weeekend.

I seem to remember seeing a really cool White Adidas one with Red stripes once but I've never been able to get one.

I did notice the shirt, but the days of me being a small medium are long gone........thank you though

I was going to put that in my original post, if you where lucky to find an original large it would probably have shrunk to a medium, you are probably better keeping an eye out for one of the hooky ones from our friends in Asia!

They used to do a copy of the 79 Euro Cup final shirt without the adidas badge on it. Don't appear to sell it anymore though, just that yellow one.

I have bad memories of the pin stripe era (Peter Ward and Ian Wallace...shudder)

It looks like the club replica shirt iwth an addidas mabel stuck on it, I dont even think it has three stripes and the material doesnt look shiny enough

I'm pretty sure the logos weren't sewn in/embroidered those days.

The original ones were like an iron on transfer that fell off after a few washes (nice one adidas), they were followed up with a sort of fluffy felty looking logo that was a lot more durable.

The fabric was very shiny and had a whitish sheen on the inside. That looks like polyester.

It does say its "brand new" and hence I'd guess not from 1979. Its not a bad copy though, about as close as you're likely to get.

The shirt shown in that link isn't an original. It would have a retangle adidas tag in the neck if it was.

I've bought 2 off of ebay in my time. The first one was a cotton material with a felt badge and logo. I sold it a while back, signed by John McGovern & Kenny Burns.

The 2nd one is a polyester material with plastic transfers on it and that one has the Euro Cup winners 1979 1980 under the badge. I got a large in that and it is very tight fitting.

I shall have to get rid of my moobies before I wear it next. lol

What happened, did have any contact with them?

Those shirts look really good for $12. Do you know of anyone that has used the site before?
