1. Cult, you don't fool me, I know that you have that picture, for the record the only one I struggled on was Elfyn Edwards. Millwall would be underdogs if that team was playing tomorrow.
2, Weren't the Vic Robin cartoon the standard old gags? Absolutely terrible.
3. I quite liked that 1986 kit, I kind of like our kit being largely white with a hint of red. I have vivid memories of that from the early part of the season but iirc our 3 major games were played in completely different strips. Birmingham away was a thin red/black stripey kit kind of a la AC Milan at the time of Liam Brady, the York tie in the 4th round was a bizzarre grey/silver monstrosity that I think was never worn again and the FA Trophy final at Wembley was another black/red stripe kit sponsored by Fairmitre. WHy?
4. The most council thing about that 1989 programme was that it was made out of, er paper! Don't laugh, I mean not your normal semi glossy programme paper but literally folded pieces of A4. It was as terrible as the chequered kit. I saw a photo of it the other day and wondered what we were thinking. Wouldn't have been so bad in red and white.
Actually, I know why that was. I had/have an umbro catalogue from that season, they only did them in red and black.
5. The best Alty kit was the 1990-91 version, just a classic altho the one on the team photo about 1979 is good, simple red and white stripes with a black collar. I don't like the current away kit either, I think it's just because I don't like us playing in blue, even light blue, and because I've come to associate us wearing it with not winning (i,e, away games). I must say I do like this seasons and would purchase one myself if it didn't come with Carole Nash (lovely women tho she is) emblazoned across the back where names go. I quite like the mad flourescentyellow unibond winning kit.
