Just bought myself a Le Coq Sportif 83' home shirt off eBay. Mid life crisis in full swing! wish I'd kept some of my shirts growing up, especially the 78' umbro. Oldest I kept was the classic red commadore diamond away from 90'
I'm so bloody old
Anyone else kept any good old keepsakes from back in the day?

I have a pile of Chelsea & England shirts under the bed....Used to have the pinstripe one (David Speedie days)....think that went west though...earliest one in the pile is now a home one with Coors on it...whatever year that was

I also collect watches....got about 40....never wear one from one week to the next...

Used to drink that too, just because they were our sponsor! So loyal! Never had Yokohama tyres yet though. Fackin plastic!

That old club badge was so typical of the age of reinvention.

A group also did a run of shirts

Used to have a Coors every so often. Got some last time we were out, atrocious.

Spanning decades those shirts.

Got this one, so many memories

That's a nice one. How long did le coq sportif do our kits for

81-86

This is interesting. Red kits back in the day!?!

That one's always fun to trawl through. Knew we had red in the kits before but didn't realize how prominently

I know, don't tell anyone but I actually like red Chelsea kits. The umbro late 70s was one of my all time faves. I even like the red trims on our home kits

I think accents are nice as well. Yeah some of the umbro kits with the collars look sharp. Would like to see one in person

Pretty cool. Would prefer a framed shirt
