[Football] Coventry City's new third kit - 40 years of Two-Tone.

[So.CalGull]

Admiral were on an upward path during the late 70's early 80's, so much so that they even dressed the the Welsh national team in exactly the same design, but in an alternative colour. The only reason this kit resonates so much is because Seaford Seagulls u12 Team (1982) had this as our away kit at the same time. Who knows who within the Ford Gulls organisation had a connection to get us, the Division winning team of '82, this kit, (Take that Bevendean Barcelona) but we felt good, really good wearing it.



Nothing the Man at C & A, could not have purchased.

They'll all be watching on Sunday. Coventry will be like a ghost town.

Read only yesterday, that ghost town was inspired by Glasgow. I actually thought it was Wolverhampton

Well done to whoever The Selector of that kit was.

I heard him being interviewed on my radio. It was just the same old show...

Totally agree. Shame it's been photobombed by a Welsh player tho

 

[Lethargic]

I think they have gone one step beyond with that kit it and makes Coventry look like a bunch of gangsters.

That's a thing of beauty! Perhaps I'll make Coventry my "second" team. My son lives there, so a tenuous link exists!

Look at his Blank Expression.

Maybe we should do another Fat Boy Slim inspired kit. Do it properly this time though.

Hope they're not under too much pressure

Did you get the message to you, Rudy?

 

[Dick Head]

Coventry, automatics or play-offs this season?

 

[Fountainhead]

Does the kit come with a free Nelson Mandela?

Did you get the message to you, Rudy?

As a random aside, I played played a gig with Pauline Black (The Selector) and some of the chaps from Bad Manners once and they were all ********s. Really quite sad
