It's the 2006/07, 2007/08 shirt

Thought this would be a nice little read about one of the early heroes of my vintage. Albion's Kit Napier.

It's only 15 years or so old, and the OP is calling it vintage, so a shirt dating back to the 1980's what would he term that as? an ancient artifact perhaps!
Unusual that it is long sleeved though, replica shirts were generally short sleeved.

I've got the centenary kit, framed and signed by the promotion winning team.
If that's vintage then I might pop along to the antiques roadshow with mine.

I’m in discussions with the un-naturaL history museum about my Bukta shirt
Perhaps Aloy left it for him?

Give it a wash to get the scribbles off and you may fetch £30 for it on marketplace. Good luck.
Squads from the seasons we had this kit, some of the players put their squad number next to their signature.

A quick Google suggests "vintage" means 20years old or older, albeit that feels entirely arbitrary.
I think a lot of the responses say more about how old the posters are than the shirt.

There was no difference between the replica and player shirts with Errea.

@Superphil will know, if anyone does.
My guess is, the Bukta shirts, made from a coarser variant of nuclear resistant plastic designed as whale netting, will outlast all of us. Before that everything was just wool or cotton. Cashmere if you were top 6 maybe!

The oldest one on my site is Wardys debut Umbro shirt from 1976, along with his home shirt from the same season. He sent me the photos, so I know they are genuine.
But there is also a shirt on my site, which is said to be from 1971, a Bukta shirt sold as a replica, and still in it's bag, price £5.50. We did have Bukta as supplier then, so it could well be.
I've not been to the club museum yet, from the photos I've seen I can't spot any shirts older than the FA Cup final.

That's interesting, thanks.
As an aside it's a bit of a sad end for a signed shirt, all crumpled up in a charity bag.

Before I eBay it
Can't remember who asked or what thread it was on so using this one but I've decided to let go of my 91-93 training pre match warm up top.
It obviously has a few age related marks but perfectly wearable perish the thought! It's 100% cotton not this modern day pish.
If you're the person that asked or just interested just PM me your offer, please note anything under £175 will be tutted at, it's Ribero at its best even after 30 years.
