Geoff Sidebottom living up to his name in those ridiculously short shorts.
Anyone remember when Albion started producing replica shirts for boys? I seem to recall the adult one began appearing in the mid-to-late-80s but I’m sure they did child versions well before that. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did them in the all-white strip era of the 70s.
......Which seasons were we all white. I don't recall them but I was away at uni then.
In order:
1 - Blue with white sleeves, which is what the kit was when I first went in 1966.
2 - All white (with blue trim), or at least all-white shirts, which I think followed the 'Arsenal' style.
3 - Stripes, but proper stripes, front and back. And definitely not striped shorts.
4 - All blue. I never liked the British Caledonian shirts
Perhaps you would like a pinstripe. I was particularly intrigued by this style as it was only used for very short periods during two seasons but never over a whole season. Once in 1958 between August and September and again in 1962
between August and December.

Here is a link to all our shirts over the years:

That Sir ... is ****ing horrible!
Two seasons in the 70s but not consecutive.
70-71 and again in 74-75.
Follow this link for every season since our formation. We even used to play in green and white stripes and then black and white stripes pre 1901...

Maybe that was the reaction to it at the time, which might explain why it was abandoned before Christmas in the two seasons they used it.
Personally I don't mind it. It has a certain late1950s Italian Riviera look about it.
