loweman2 Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Derby County’s home shirts for the opening match of 2020/21 against Reading were embroidered with a special BBG125 marque to commemorate 125 years since Derby’s first game as permanent tenants at the club’s former home, The Baseball Ground. which officially fell on 14th September. It was 1895 when the Rams permanently moved to the Baseball Ground. Record goalscorer Steve Bloomer scored a double against then league champions Sunderland to secure Derby a 2-0 win that afternoon the newspaper report from the day is below. This shirt was worn on that day by Irish international Jason Knight who has already made 82 appearances and scored 9 goals since his debut in August 2019 and captained the team in Wayne Rooneys first game as manager, he has also made 8 full international appearances for the Republic of Ireland, a rising star.

loweman2 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I had the pleasure of spending time today with Derby County royalty and a legend of 70s and 80s football, double back to back European cup winner, second division champion and two x first division champion, I reunited him (temporarily) with his 1968/69 no9 shirt, looking fit and well, i could have listened to him all day, such an interesting and nice man who really has been there and done it, always the first on Brian Cloughs list to build a team around, could hold the ball up and create chances or take them himself ! Heres here hes there hes asked us not to swear ! John O’Hare ! top man angieram, BarrowRam, Foxy Ram and 8 others 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sorry to interrupt the administration stuff but I have question. I got this beauty for my birthday. Its a recreation of the Patrick home shirt, which IMO is still the greatest football shirt ever made. I had a replica shirt when I was about 12 and basically lived it. However, the new one is a little different from how I remember it. My memory is that it was standard shirt without seams and the piping was printed onto the shirt. The new one is made of panels and the piping is on the edge of each panel. Have I just remembered it wrongly? Is the new one just made wrongly - even though the quality is excellent? Or was just that kids' replica shirts were different to the adult match shirts? loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody had these made up so they are not as per the original but not a bad copy, the player shirts had a raised Patrick logo on the chest and the arm badges and the ram were embroidered, on the replica it was all within the fabric, not sure what the process is called, sublimination ? But they were built to last, the one I have still looks brand new ! Kingpin and CornwallRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the originals of these home and away, but still bought this retro and the away retro as I think they are great quality shirts to wear. I have an old retro of the home shirt that the club sold without the Patrick on it. I think I bought it when John Gregory was Manager.

Inverurie Ram Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I just received this retro shirt for my collection, it is well made and at a great price for the red and white 1891-95 Derby County shirt but back to front with the colours, which I’ve only just noticed when typing this? But then again it appears to be the correct way around as per players in the photograph but wrong way around compared to the shirt in the colour photo of @loweman2 book. Oh well…….glad I’ve got an Umbro silk one with the colours maybe the correct way arouund but with no collar! It’s not easy collecting football shirts!

They were some shirts that we had made but upon arrival they had been made not to our specification, they button up all the way to the bottom instead of half way, so we did not include them in the "Lowe&Shardlow est1884" collection as the idea is that they need to be as they were in the 1880s/90s, they are fantastic quality, so Richard has been selling them at below cost on ebay as we await the arrival of the correctly specified shirts. the colours are correct on the shirt, we continued with research after that first edition of the book, we now believe that the shirt in the book may in fact be a Preston NE shirt worn by John Goodall and not from his Derby days. i will be posting photos of the correct shirt along with a team photo from the day, it was the shirt that Steve Bloomer made his debut in and wore for the next five seasons, should have messaged me mate !! still a great shirt !

Yes, still a great shirt, and another to my collection. I hope you and Richard will be giving me first dibs on any of the correct shirts you have to sell! Any feed back on getting anymore of the home 1923 - 26 shirts to sell? loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
