PWright Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Good evening, I'm trying to source the below shirt as it was my first Bristol City game that I attended. I would like to frame it and put it in a home bar so wondered if anyone has one that I could purchase from them? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How privileged and entitled do you feel?! My first game was a miserable 0-2 home defeat way back in the dim and distant - weather was rubbish too - but feel free to begin your journey on this ridiculous rollercoaster under the twin towers at the home of football ... obviously I’m only joking chief! A mate of mine has this shirt I think, so if you’re struggling I’ll tap him up - cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Watched the highlights of this game not so long ago. Keegan did the commentary, and remarked he had no ideal why tinnion played at this level. Gave him motm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Why would you want to frame this shirt? Possibly the most horrible shirt we’ve ever had, and no one could understand it at the time.

Oh Louie louie Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 White and red hirerite one was the best final shirt vs mansfield. The following season, had joe jordan wearing it on the front of the programe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, the korma coloured TFG shirt with Bristol Trace Centre across the front (Marcus Stewart/Michael Bridges year) was a truly horrifc shirt. Saw that somewhere the other day framed and just thought "why?" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonkyone Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I left mine with a fruit vendor on the beach in Gambia. It blended well with all the colourful fruits on the stall and probably the closest I was going to get to the Gold Coast. Each time I wore it, it reminded me of a jolly day out at Wembley - that we lost. I have left a few shirts on beachs around the world. I wonder if others do this too?

Yet another example of our club getting it completely wrong. It was strange because Uhlsport made our shirts that season, but this one was Admiral. See: Bristol City - Historical Football Kits (historicalkits.co.uk) I remember being told by someone in the Club shop that it would be our third shirt in 2000/01. It wasn't.

I gave mine to a girl in Spain who said she liked it. As for the Final, I could be wrong but didn’t we pass up the opportunity to wear our home kit just so we could wear the Gold one?

Was going to say I thought that Admiral did the kits from the season after that, as I remember having both the home and away shirt (away shirt worn in my last year at school for PE - Green with a black strip across the top and down the arms).

The green one was definitely used against the gas in 00/01 (the game Phillips effectively relegated them) and it was used in 01/02. I think the main away shirts for both seasons was white but the green was was a third kit?

Our main away kit for that first season was white. So in theory you weren’t wrong, I presume the green one was a third kit in 00/01.

Don’t know why I thought it was the following seasons…probably lumping two of my favourite City shirts into one year In my minds eye I thought I could remember a white and red reverse of that home kit but it must’ve been 01/02.

Bedred31 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Only time I ended up in the old Wembley Olympic Gallery. Front row. Absolutely terrifying- couldn’t stand up. Mercifully demolition began the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
