MarcusX Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Out of interest why did we have BC82 instead of a badge on the shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 It could turn out to be a very rare bargain. We didn’t play in a cup final in 1985!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 The semi final against Hereford was great fun. Used to stand in the lower Williams nearest the East End. Always boisterous. Maybe the shirt was from a game in the lead up to the final. Season 85/86. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 3 hours ago, MarcusX said: Out of interest why did we have BC82 instead of a badge on the shirt? I’ve often wondered that too. No idea why. It was the only kit of the 1980s not to have the robin badge, and it was first worn in 1983 so a year after our near extinction. There had been at least one kit before then that had the badge so it wasn’t as if it was the first kit under the new company. I was only 8 years old so only have vague memories of City’s early-80s era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I have a set of BCFC crayons used by the very man himself. I sleep with them under my pillow and I will never sell. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 6 hours ago, MarcusX said: Out of interest why did we have BC82 instead of a badge on the shirt? After going bust, Ashton Gate 8 and all that, the club was “Bristol City 1982 Limited”. That’s where the 82 bit came from. No idea why we didn’t use a badge though. I always quite liked the BC82 thing for some reason….. better than a roadkill robin, that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReds Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 People claim what they want on eBay and eBay don't care as they will take their slice of the pie after an unsuspecting buyer has basically been ripped off. You only have to look at all the Banksy fake stuff that gets sold through there (and plenty of "auction" houses"). Even if you report something that is 100% fake they will rarely remove it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is truth in that...but the opposite also happens. I inherited a vast collection of signed vinyl and memorabilia. I had people report that it was fake...only one person, and it was taken down immediately. Even though I provided evidence of the autographs being signed in person. There are a lot of self proclaimed experts in collectors circles, that often haven't got a clue. And sometimes people are just spiteful as they can't afford it and want it in their collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not constantly looking but do keep an eye out for older City shirts and haven't ever seen one from that season pop up. We had a match worn one in the family but the player asked for it back Can't blame him, it's a beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping there are quite a few still in existence, they were an official club shop item I distinctly remember beryl selling them and wembley 1987 versions from the old portacabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 The program face for the following season was Joe in that shirt, jumping with someone who could certainly sort out the shirt mystery. Hitchcock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be a rarity, and guess it is pot luck who receives the complaint their end and removes a listing? I used to go on an art forum and loads of the eBay fake stuff got highlighted on there, multiple listings got reported and I never seen a single thing get taken down. One seller had made thousands selling the same fakes multiple times, and even got reported to Action Fraud for months on end by multiple people, still nothing was done about it.

The numbers that season had a red line border on them. Could be a reserve or youth team shirt, or just a fans replica who put their own number on it.

Difficult to compare to this picture as the red line isn't the outline, where as the pic on the eBay account is It is odd though that they have no picture of the actual number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last bit was common back then though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
