If it's real, must be the 96/97 3rd Kit but can't find any other mention of it online. Does anyone remember it/have any info cos I'd love to get my hands on one if they made replicas? Those look a lot like the home shorts from 96/97. Although as I wasn't old enough to notice such things, I don't know if it would be weird to have a different shirt with the same shorts? Would be very strange in modern football. But if it was anything like modern day it seems to suggest its not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having reverse image searched it, there's multiple versions of it in yellow but no white... My only other theory is that it was a prototype/never officially used top and this shot was taken in a friendly or somewhere obscure (which'd also explain the mismatched shorts?) Proper mystery ?

SaintRam Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Here it is in all its grainy glory. I assume therefore @Ghost of Clough that we played a game against someone in yellow shorts and switched to our home shorts. I seem to remember that happening from time to time.

Mucker1884 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 95-97 away, according to our main man. He also shows the home shirt for the same 95-97 period, along with (more familiar) away shirts for each of the 95-96 and 96-97 seasons, so assume the yellow one is third kit? http://est1884.com/the-bbg EDIT: It's the end of the BBG era, so you'll need to scroll down to the very last 2 lines/4 shirts on that link.

I've brought up all the videos from our 1996-97 season, and in all our away games we're either wearing our home kit or this one So twas only used during the 1995-96 season based on the videos. Also, Asanovic wasn't a Derby player until the 1996-97 season - so I think therefore that picture of Asanovic must be pre-season? Unless we happened to wear it in one of few games I can't find video for. EDIT: Scratch the "Only wore" bit, we also apparently wore a dark blue top that season. If we wore that yellow one as well at some point we must be getting close to a record for most different kits worn in a season? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Having now had a quick flick through @loweman2's website (See my previous post for a linky), I seriously think all future DCFC shirts should come with a similar "Established in 1884" "watermark" imprinted front and centre. It looks kinda cool, imo! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it likely that no replicas were ever made of that particular yellow variant then? I've seen the home one come up semi-regularly online, along with the maroon away strip but never, ever seen that yellow beauty haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose they'd be less common as we weren't a Premiership side? Did we have a club shop back then? ? Did fans wear kits to division one games? Did anyone even make replicas for non PL sides? How young am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here she is ! Proper rarity as it was used as the third kit and worn in around five games over those two seasons, they never made a replica kit of it, really nice quality shirt.

Inverurie Ram Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 On 10 July 2019 at 16:56, loweman2 said: its a great idea however im not sure that I have the inclination to go through the whole thing again but with track suit tops !! I do love that umbro one, the ones on ebay are just standard umbro retro tops that somebody has paid to have the ram embroidered on, the give away for this is that the ram is on the wrong side, the white one at Wembley had the badge on the correct side if I remember correctly, however it if had of been from the 70s it would have been blue and white not black and white, old cloughie used to wear some nice early umbro track tops. good to see that you are keeping the old grey matter ticking over @Inverurie Ram!! I was wearing this at Charlton on Saturday @loweman2 and yes I know which side the Ram is on, not that anyone else noticed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I noticed it was in the club shop a few days ago when I was umming and arrghing about getting some new Christmas Baubles and wondering when the Christmas Jumper would land in store, the excitement, suspense is just killing me at the moment! It's surely time for an orange Christmas Jumper with Patrick emblazoned across the front! Might just buy a bag of hazelnuts instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
