1923 retro shirt

[NewburyOne]

Thoughts?

I think there's probably better and more popular retro shirts that they could've chosen but I suppose this was picked to tie in with the 100 years in Tangerine season. Good move overall by the club to dip into the retro market though and fingers crossed more to come in the future.

It’s a nice shirt

Prefer it to the 1950s one actually

Some more from the 80s and 90s would be good

Didn’t we have a kit with a black collar in more recent history or am I imagining it? My memory is seeing Gary Briggs in one….am I going mad?

We had navy blue collars a few times, I don't recall us with black though.

In the 50s Blackpool wore half & half tangerine and black socks.

Indeed, thankfully I wasn't born for another 20+ years!

I actually think this year's home kit should have been a modern interpretation of this to tie in with the 100 years. An opportunity missed in that regard.

That’ll be the one.

I thought we didn't play in Tangerine till around 1930? Black before then?

The club have only been celebrating ‘100 years in tangerine’ all season like!

In thw summer of 2015 I wrote to Karl Oyston suggesting the 'Belgium' shirt as our 3rd kit with it being 100 years since our team wore it in recognition of the Belgian refugees from German oppression. His secretary wrote back to say that there'd been a raffle for the 3rd shirt so there was nothing they could do.

I had a similar thought about it being tied in wth the centenary anniversary of the start or end of WWI.

Could have tied it in with all sorts of school opportunities, displays at the club etc.

I dare say, we would be all over it now with the Club and Community Foundation working together.

Perhaps 110 year anniversary would be worth a shout as it's only a couple of years away.

I'm sure, if you were to track him down, you could 'collar' him and maybe ask him personally, face-to-face ...

We played in a black away kit under McMahon.
Guessing the collar was black?
