I was mocked mercilessly at uni for it. Plus they went bust about a month in to the season. To be fair VK wasn't much better.
I had the lime green away one. Wore it with pride in Portugal that summer. Saw us get loved 4-0 or summat by Birmingham in a pub there.
Errr I believe the first kit I got was a Hamilton Accies home strip from my Auntie though I don't think my Mum ever let me wear it. First kit I can remember wearing was the Liverpool 'Hitachi' number.
My first one was the Ora play off-final one from 99/2000. As a young lad I begged my dad to buy me it for the play offs and the final
My first shirt was the best Reds shirt ever, IMO, from 1980 - plain red, shiny material with the gold oakwell emblem (leaf above the well). As worn by the best BFC team that never quite made it, starring Aylott, Parker, Glavin, Macca etc etc. What a shirt. What a team.
Beaver: Shaw Carpets 90/91 home full kit for birthday. Had party at Oakwell and Colin Walker ran it, we got tour and reserve game: and Smudger gave me signed ball
Now someone else has come clean, I think my first football kit was a Sheffield Wednesday kit, bought by my uncle. Think it was just a kit in the style of Wendies, with a Wendy badge sewn on the front. I got that Ora shirt with the stripes on the arms not long after, and a goalie shirt, either from the same season or the one before. Green with black Ora logo. Not that you can really see it, but the one on this image http://www.footballcardsuk.com/cards/1996/7876.jpg
Crystal palace Purple blue stripes Blue shorts Yellow socks 1970 Very gay !!! Doh off we go.........it was a joke
The Big Thing shirt looked ridiculous with a beer belly in it. Mine was the away shirt with Sandal Bayern on it 1988- yellow with a black stripe going down it. Wonder if I've still got it, loved it to bits
West Ham/ Aston Villa style claret body/pale blue sleeves for no other reason than I liked the colours. Mind you there were no real replica kits in those days , no badges or anything like that. Have to say I still prefer the feel of the tee shirt type material for everyday wear to the modern stuff too!
We wo poor in early to mid 80s us, so first football kit i got was a fake England one in a box with a sew on badge, after that the first real ones i got where Barnsley away shirts in the early 90s, a White with red trim and black sponsor, Yellow with black trim and sponsor, and one like this years home shirt but where its red it was blue and where its white it was black with black polo neck.
Cough...Leeds Utd Bought for me by my Grandad along with a sports holdall, early 70's when I was about 8/9. Don't know why, I never supported Leeds. Me, my Dad and Grandad only ever supported Barnsley. I suppose it was because Leeds were near the top of the pile at the time and it was what the sports shops were selling. Wore it once at school, never again, had the holdall for years though.
Shaw Carpets home shirt back when we had a white rose on our shirt. Only time i've ever had the full kit.
Chelsea 1970 cos they won the cup, my mum sewed a no 9 on the back cos that was Osgood.I wasnt a Barnsley fan till nov 12 1972.
In the 1978 89 season Barnsley had 3 different home kits two were made by admiral ans the final by umbro. Non of which were sold as a Barnsley shirt. I had the one used at the start of that season with the admiral logo on the sleaves which you could buy in suggs
