A gift which you probably begged for with an X Factor style sob story, and yeah I’m jealous, so what, at least I can admit it. 

Can’t you let me have this one? Not like you have room for anymore as it is. 

His old man is a big fan and knows a genuine shirt collector ! ?

A gift from Mason and his dad to add to my collection, worn and signed by Mason, another one to be treasured and saved for the future! I have got a feeling we have not heard the end of young Mason just yet and He was once a Ram !

Added this beauty today, sorted by masons dad for me, love the “once a ram “ one of the great future stars of the English game it was a privilege seeing him cut his teeth in a Derby County shirt !

Derby v Juventus 1973. So come on @loweman2 spill the beans on the Saab Tracksuit Top, give us the story, have you made it during lockdown, or has it been especially made in the Ukraine, Lithuania etc and you've muddied up the Saab letters in your back garden for austerity?

Ha ha, wish it was that easy ! I’ve been put in touch with somebody who has a couple of old nice pieces only problem is it’s on the other side of the world nearly ! The top is good, I’ve only seen pictures of the same one but with the hood, it’s in good condition but has some moisture damage like mould but I soon killed that.

@loweman2 where did you get the Saab tracksuit top?......that is absolutely class..........I would love one of them.

You'll be showing off this one next!

 

Wow that is a real banger @Inverurie Ram, What game is that on ! Good spot, it must be out there somewhere covered in cobwebs in someone’s loft !

More excellent collars and double diamonds !

The start of commercial advertising in football, there was no putting the genie back in the bottle !

Love the colours and the simplicity of the late 79s shirts not to mention those lovely massive collars that @David can’t get enough of 

I always thought that calico were the sponsors of the under 21s but turns out that a Calico is a large cat (Puma) and is coloured white, black and amber ! Just like the shirt ! A nice touch to what must have been a sample for the first season at Pride Park !

I found this on the other side of the world, I doubt there are many more out there, nice addition to the Le Coq Sportif collection, 

A few nice Le Coq Sportif shirts from 1979/80/81

One from my general shirt collection, match worn (Lee Mills, Paul Simpson?) from 1995

 

Nice one, always good to see some other shirts !

Loved the Patrick brand ! The boots were made of soft kangaroo leather, not sure they would be so popular now but you couldn’t half jump in them !

‪A shirt with history, from the very first game to be played at Pride Park on August 4th 1997 v Sampdoria, Ashley Wards no 12 shirt brought directly from the scorer of the only goal Vincenzo Montella, Ward went on to become the scorer of the first Derby County goal at Pride Park‬.

Thanks to @Dankee I have managed to add this fantastic shirt to the collection of shirts, here’s here, he’s there he’s flipping everywhere John O’Hare john O’Hare!
