Badger Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Have to wonder if the club have made a balls up in releasing limited edition 1976 shirts at £120 a time. Now that we’ve reached a SF there could be thousands wanting them, perhaps forced to buy from a dodgy inline outlet. Having said ‘limited edition’ they can hardly suddenly have 000’s available for general sale. Unless perhaps there is some slight variation, different crest with 2026 FA Cup on it, and possibly no autographs on the body. But you might feel peeved having bought one for £120 if they did that.

Wonder if the club might do a short notice production of a replica top? Not necessarily the limited edition one they did before, something more generic maybe... Probably not enough time though. 7 minutes ago, Badger said: Have to wonder if the club have made a balls up in releasing limited edition 1976 shirts at £120 a time.

Mine took 12 days from order to delivery. Delivery info didn’t update online until morning of delivery.. Which happened to be yesterday so didn’t arrive in time for the game. Nipper gets to wear it at Wembley now though.

Can always wear it at the final if it doesn't arrive in time for the SF of course 🙂 1

I think the original 50th anniversary shirt looks crap anyway. It’s a horrible shade of yellow.. But we’re playing well in it so a few quid for a taggy kids replica is fine by me.

Would seem a bit strange they would register the red & white one and then play all the ties in the yellow one! The yellow one is not deemed an official kit as it wasn’t registered at the start of the season, hence we need dispensation to wear it. Which it sounds like the FA are open to allowing. 2

Scoobysaint Posted April 8 Posted April 8 (edited) Mine turned up today and won’t be getting a run out, even in the North Devon local. Dodgy halo and bright yellow. Good fit though! Also got the signature material for the sleeves. Edited April 9 by Scoobysaint 1
