What's Your Favourite Rovers Shirt?

[Upside Down]

So we're one of the few clubs out there that have had the same shirt design since the beginning.

It has been famously copied many times and is absolutely iconic.

Over the years however, there have been different variations, the blue and white have changed sides as well as the sleeves changing slightly.

 

Which is your favourite design then?

 

My choice is -

 

Home:

1996 -1998

 

Away:

1993 - 1995

I got mine from rhe club shop on Bolton Road...that was a proper club shop

The ici perspex fmc one. 

 

By the way, our first ever shirt was all white with a blue Maltese cross

[Songman]

I think I prefer a slightly lighter blue (not as pale as the 90/91 or 18/19) so for that reason the 91/92 Ribero home shirt.

Away shirt I would go for the 95/96 champions edition, red with black sleeves away shirt.

For a third shirt the Wembley 92 yellow shirt, narrowly pipping this season's macron version of the shirt.

This style, without the badge.

These were two good uns as well. Paradoxically, that Princes Trust shirt we had when the Scottish bald crook was manager was a very nice shirt, shame about the team.

A very young Tony Parkes there I think. Where did all those years go !

Man it would be nice to see this design as a modern shirt.

The only thing with the perspex shirts is that both sleeves are white. That looks wierd to me.

That doesn’t really bother me tbh mate but I can understand where you’re coming from.

Pretty sure that pic would be from my first season watching Rovers. Seems like only yesterday 😱

There's only one for me.... it's stunning in its simplicity and style. The previous V-neck comes second

The one and only Sir Keith Newton.... October 1969

Sheer class

Anything with Simon Garner, Alan Shearer or Colin Hendry in it.

Its all about the passion for Blue & White! 

[Upside Down]

I do miss the good old long sleeve shirts. 

 

I am quite fond of the shirts we have this season. A little bit different with all the blue and whit on one side each but they are nice. The Arte Et Labore on the back just below the collar is a nice touch too. The yellow away shirt is a belter also. Cudos to Macron.

That’s a great photo Jim. He really was a class act. I tried to imitate him as a player. I think that might be Eamon Rogers in the background.

Yes, indeed...

"His name is Eamonn Rogers, we call him the king of the land...

..........with a blue and white band"

That’s presumably before he grew his hair long.

That is a belter. I wish I could have been around to see Rovers back then.

For a few seasons we had a team to go with it as well. The 63-64-65 team could, and did, give anybody a football lesson. That team was best Rovers side I’ve seen and that includes the team that won the Prem. Ask anyone who was lucky enough to see them play.
