Football Rosettes

[highway61]

Was reminiscing today about rosettes in the 1960's that so many of us kids collected. For me I would buy the rosette of our opponent on the day, for my collection and had whole wall full of them! Always remember the there being a few sales pitches on way from Hove station. Also I am sure that at back of the Chicken Run was a wooden "shed" where i would spend my hard earned paper round money on a b & w photo of whoever my hero was at the time! Good times. The rosettes came to mind after coming across some on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/football-rosettes

Pennants. Now theres a memory.

I also remember cutting out Typhoo Tea vouchers with which you could send off for decent sized photos of players! Not Albion of course but a dozen or so internationals of the time.

Still got my rosette and silk scarf from the Cup Final,but the blue colour has gone purple now.

I wouldn't mind a rosette revival.

A bit cheaper than the woolen ones 60p silk £1.10 woolen seems to stick in my mind

The nostalgia of rosettes, wooden rattles, silk scarves..... Good memories, but can't say I want to see any of them come back.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

In need of a little TLC

And what about half time scores, needed good eyesight to read the letters and numbers on scoreboards

Silk scarves

Yeah, whatever happened to silk scarves? I'd buy one now if they were still available. Quite a classy item for the 1970's.

Please no! Fine in their day, but things have moved on considerably in the last forty years.

They look decidedly amateurish now. Just a piece of card with the club's name badly printed, attached to a rosette of the appropriate colour.

Times have moved on thank goodness.

Love to see football rattles make a comeback, I fear Health and Safety would put the kybosh on that though as it could be used as a weapon. Love the sound of them at football matches, so much classier than clackers.
