Throwback uniforms

[Dirty Sanchez]

An Americanism I know, but an interesting idea nonetheless.
This Saturday, the New England Patriots will be wearing a "throwback uniform" from the early eighties against the Jets. They do this ocassionally throughout all the franchises.
What do you guys think of "yesteryear kit" making an appearance in the premier league? Could be cool to see our guys scrapping in poor fitting tops and really short shorts again. (No homo).

 

[Squiggles]

Unfortunately our current players are not good enough to wear shirts designed before 1990.

Aussie rules has a "heritage round" where all the teams get to wear retro uniforms.

They also gave "cheer squads" that wave giant Pom-poms behind the goal and the teams burst through a paper banner on the pitch at the start of the game.

Rael would love it.

I don't think I could possibly come up with a better reason to run with it.

Didn't Arsenal do something like this a few years back?

Wasn't the exact same kit but heavily inspired by it? The maroon kit.

Yep, last season at Highbury.

Rael would have his fan status downgraded to fairweather Level 2 unless he could prove he was in the cheer squad and waved a giant pompom.

 

[Squiggles]

United did it once too.

Yeah that was the anniversary of the Munich air disaster, I think.

I don't remember Arsenal playing in maroon tbh, although they did do a throwback redcurrant shirt one season.

That might be the one you're thinking of.

Talking about Rael seems to be the only thing keeping this place going. Where is everyone? At the upholsterers?

I've always liked people that talk about themselves in the 3rd person. Very amusing.

Bring back the "candy" shirt!

Is Rael really Johnny Adair?

 

[Rael]

Yes because I am a famous firefighter aren't I.

 

[Bradley]

And a big fan of UB40?

It gives us Level 2 Armchair fans something to aspire to.

If it weren't for a geographic twist of nature we could have been you!

Alas - we never will.
