I'm old enough to have bought them first time round (and still have them!). The ones to be found in the club shop are not exactly replicas: for example the one that should be adidas does not have adidas stripes.

As i suspected. They look a bit too red too. The original red was quite deep, verging on burgundy almost. The ones in the pic on the website look bright red and blue.

"How can I remember to keep it all together when half the moon is taken away?"

got the white Admiral one with the red and blue sash (to play badminton in -- shoot me if I ever wear it to a game). Had the same as a nipper, although i feel from memory like that was long sleeved to be like Vince Hilaire.

This one seems to be of excellent quality and it has the Admiral branding. I regard the Admiral one as the one, and this particular top to be our most iconic one ever.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

I like them, the Admiral sash is excellent. A shirt aficionado would be able tell a modern replica from an original replica, sometimes they miss a manufacturers logo or the badge is minutely different, but they are still good in my opinion
