'Orns Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Have just mentioned on one of the LJ threads (I just don't have the words to express how much I like this post!) the old school ski hats that we used to wear back in the 80s One half red and white, one half yellow and green. The shop must have sold hundreds of them, so it got me thinking, what should we be asking the club shop to bring back? I'd take a ski hat, and any mid 80s to early 90s retro shirts that could be re-produced. I follow a few retro shirt companies on twitter - these things are so popular right now, are the club missing out on a few quid here? Every time I've been in the new shop I find it so bland, corporate. The old portacabin, under Beryl's watchful eyes, was an absolute Aladdin's cave. I loved spending my hard earned (sticking up skittles and paper round!) money in there, can't remember the last time I bought anything City related from the club, which is a shame Anyone got something from back in the day they want brought back? Maybe if we get enough interest I'll start a petition on facebook..... And if someone from the club does read this - can we go back to white shorts. Red shorts don't work. And the robin, always the robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the robin, always the robin I saw a geezer jogging in one of those ski hats only the other day! Took me by surprise a bit. Used to like a simple polo shirt with the old robin badge on. Bought a greeny coloured one once and I loved it. Was served by Deryn Coller in that portakabin as well, imagine that happening these days!!

And the robin, always the robin The modern day club shop sells mostly replica shirts and training gear these days, along with souvenirs with the club crest on. Retro shirts are great, but demand would not be high enough.. you'd never get Bristol Sport selling them in the Club shop, and as for a petition on facebook to bring back white shorts, grow up petitions do not work. look how the petition went to bring back the robin.

And the robin, always the robin I used to have (in the 80's) a tracksuit top, made by Bukta I think. Would zip right up & you could either have the collar right up or flip it outwards & it would flop over about 2". Red & black, I used to wear it everywhere.

I was sat on the bus stop and he came jogging past, had to smile to myself. I could just imagine him in a pair of Lois cords, a Pringle jumper and a pair of Puma Californias, belting out songs from the East End!! Those old v-neck jumpers with "pride of the west" on!! Burgundy, black or grey weren't they?? Seemed like every bloke over 50 had one of those round our way!! Nice thread @Woodsy makes a change from all the doom and gloom ones.

First post that made me smile on here in a long time. Cords, Pringle and Puma's. The outfit of the time. I was looking at some old school Puma's the other day, I'm gonna get me some in the summer Bang on with the jumpers - burgundy are the ones that stick out in my mind. Would love going for a pint on Christmas Day, seeing the old boys wearing their new one. Same present as last year, but they didn't give a crap.

Meh Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I used to have the Gerry Gow Retro white away shirt but it got dirty over the months of wear. Desperate for another line to be on sale - just something about the look, the badge and the icons that wore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
