Site sponsor too folks, always worth supporting a site sponsor...

No cake though.

if the shirt had the old badge on i would be first in line for one

Agree Tad pity about the badge.

It can be arranged. We are looking for supporters to give us suggestions, and if people want the original badge, we will have it added. We will most likely need to get permission from your club first though. Any suggestions are welcome, please use the site to post any though.

Proper shirt, that. Could do with it being in cotton though.

Put the original badge on and I'll buy one

I wouldn't be too sure about needing permission from the club - the badge should be the City of Leeds crest and Leeds Rugby Ltd can't claim copyright on that



I do believe that they tried to go down that route once before with a local tag rugby team though...

Ditto.

I'd love to see the Bukta Kestrel/Youngers shirt ressurected. Circa 83-86

Is this the jersey?

I love the white away kit of the 'Youngers' era and the 'Carling Black Label' away top Roy Powell is wearing in my avatar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=roZoegiJ ... re=related

What about that red one?

This one.

I've still got this shirt and can just about squeeze into it

If i remember correctly this shirt was the first that had the V neck collars rather than the traditional collars, the sponsor was Kestrel lager was it not

Is this the crest from the time of the shirt?

Aye. With 'Youngers' across the shoulders

looks like it yes

Actually, the black club badge / city crest was only done on 'special' shirts like the cup final ones (Such as '68, '77 & '78 etc.) whilst the normal week to week league shirt was unbadged for most of the 70s.

I note that the shirts are 'authentic' yet 'polyester' ... I own a shirt from that the 80s and certainly if you had a look at Graham Eccles old shirt hung in the club, the material of the shirts of that era were most certainly a heavy playing-weight cotton type material.

Bingo - I have a '71 final shirt and my mate has an extremely coveted '68 final shirt (which will be mine one day - ha ha ha). Both are manufactured from very heavyweight cotton. To make these replica shirts truly authentic they would need to be of a similar standard. But then again they probably wouldn't retail for £28 if they were.

The watersplash final replica shirt was some ridiculous price like 70 quid iirc. And that was in 2003.

Whilst I have nothing against polyester, when it actually comes to wearing them you do ....

The big old playing weight cotton shirts were designed to be worn next to the skin with no undershirt or similar on and thus, by the nature of the material, didn't rub certain sensative parts of the anatomy.

A lot of 'modern' man-made fibre shirts really need one of those base layer type vests underneath them to make them 'wearable' ....

On the other hand, you've got to say that they were really well made and also perhaps should be seen as an investment.

Consider the number of 'new' Leeds shirts that have been generated since then ... There's certainly been at least one home shirt per season and coupled with now the club going down the route of changing both kits each year.

The '68 classic Leeds shirt, the white away shirt that was available from certain sources

and even these shirts won't age and won't need replacing each and every season.

Everyone still knows what team you support and furthermore, you've probably paid about a quarter to secure a classic shirt than you would have done changing the kits and buying a 'new' Leeds shirt every time the club changes it as a whim each season.

I have a couple of the '68 replica shirts (one still in it's presentation box) but the one my mate has was worn by Albert Eyre in the final - I wonder how much it would fetch on that there auction site?
