Retro Shirts...*LAST TWO NOW*

[RevidgeBlue]

2 quick questions: (Beautiful shirt and will remove any need to buy one with a Vaping Co on the front for the forseeable)

Don't understand the sizing chart completely. I'm assuming a 40" chest is a 20 on the table and therefore a medium? 🙂

Secondly, I fancy a long AND a short sleeved. What's the postage on that?

Thanks in advance.

The dimensions are the “width” so yes a 20” width is to fit a 40” chest.

Order 2 at the same time & we post out as one package for the price advertised (£5) for the UK. It will cost us a bit more but we’re happy to cover that incremental cost 👍🏻⚪️🔵

Ordered the short sleeved - thanks @Herbie6590👍

Nice. Good one to have on the wall.

 

Just realised I've got a few tops. Kappa promotion top. Kappan training top. ASICS drill top. This retro one I've got coming.

 

I just wouldn't bother buying anything from the club shop. Not until venkys go.

I was dead lucky with the one I bought from the club shop in (?) 2010 or 2011. It was one that our - then arse-licking - owners decided they wanted the Prince of Wales feathers as the emblem on the shirt and had to obtain permission from Clarence House to show the emblem on the Umbro shirt we were wearing that season.

The club shop announced that, if permission was given, people who'd already bought the shirt could have the emblem affixed at no extra charge. As a non-Monarchist, I chose not to exercise that option.

My "frugal gene" won't let me buy another replica shirt while I can still - just about! - squeeze into one which "advertises" nothing, other than my loyalty to Lancashire's Most Historic Football Club, as I refer to them in every WhatsApp conversation with my old schoolmate of the Claret & Blue persuasion in NZ.

As they say in 'Stralia, "Yeah, right!"

So long - as I'm sure you realise, @bluebruce -  as it was as near to the shirt which the 10-year-old me proudly received as a birthday present. Or the Retro shirts currently for sale.

[Mike E]

Ordered mine 😁

[Penwortham Blue]

Just placed order for one of each 😊

[Wheelton Blue]

Hopefully these will arrive in time for both the play off and FA Cup finals 🙂 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Sorry I didn’t realise it was March the first today ! Am I too late ?

Edit - Just ordered one anyway. Hope I wasn’t too late.

Does the EFL know ?

[doctorryan]

We'll know soon if BRFCS & Ribero are as pedantic as the EFL.

No 😆

You must apply for an extension then order 13 minutes after the extension has finished.

Back in the 60s, did they have home and away shirts?  Was this just the home shirt, or was this the style they wore every match?

[Herbie6590]

Rovers traditionally wore variants of red & white in the 60’s - with a few exceptions - I’ve seen photos of a black & white striped kit in the FA Cup. All red in my living memory, sometimes with white cuffs…sometimes without.

Use of away kit at Ewood in the FA Cup…

Another away trip to a London-based side in white…
