And their warehouse near the Etihad is immense, even if just see the odd sleeve. 

 

Do keep up boy! 

I think football shirts are on the way back. Currently only for playing in. I project for n 2-3 years it will be ok to wear shirts out again. Not Modern tat but retros. Other than Bolton I now own:

 an Italy shirt 

Lazio despite liking inter since the 3 Germans 

HSV

dortmund (I don’t favver Dortmund)

im trying to buy at 1860 Munich shirt currently but it’s hard work finding the one I want.

 

None, don’t even have a Bolton top that fits anymore.... do have Munich and Marseille scarves from the trips there that I occasionally get out

I try to get shirts wherever the lad plays in Europe, made some good friends doing that. Tried to swap shirts with a Plovdiv fan over there... Wasn't too forthcoming

I've got a Liverpool one

I've got tons of shorts though, I seem to always buy a pair when a visit a city

I don't even wear my Wanderers ones...

The only one I've ever worn regularly (in the past) was a 100% cotton 'retro' Mexico '86 number 10 Argentina shirt I bought about twenty odd years ago from RipRap, when I used to go in frequently to leer at that tall blonde whom DazBob informed me was known at the time as 'Mad' Kate..

The girlfriend at the time bought me a retro Roma top of the same ilk but I only wore that around the house and in her presence because I hate 'V' necks and have no feeling whatsoever for Roma.

I've two unworn modern replicas - a Brazil 'Kaka' one and a more recent Argentina 'Messi' one...Bought solely as they were a bargain and I'm a cheapskate.

I might take to photoshop (for provenance) and then forge signatures on 'em to sell them on for a pretty penny. 😉

To be honest, beyond a wanderers shirt, I'd never buy any shirt of another club.

Albeit trying to create a loophole for my Colls polos, I’m happy to go along with ‘another English club we’ll play competitively’

Made Jane, not Kate iirc.

FFS Mad Jane

She was a maid as well as a mad fucker and RipRap's main draw then? You speled it wrong btw.

I did know of a similarly mad girl called Kate at the time - hence the confusion.

I blame Zoe Ball et al for this proliferation of mad girls during that era.

I always thought I'd invite mad Jane along to a night when I had a (as DJ) residency in Manchester and take it from there, I reckoned she was at least a couple of years older and pretty unapproachable but I thought being Bolton's answer to Joey Beltram might swing it for me...😀

Only a couple of England ones, the red 2006 away shirt and the home one with Davies on the back after he made his debut. 😂

In the past I’ve had a few though

Juventus H with Inzaghi 9 on the back

Barcelona H

Athletico Madrid A

Portugal A

France H goalkeeper

Russia H

Inter Milan H

Roma 3rd

Couple of old England H shirts from the early 2000s, one had Gerrard 4 on the back, I think the other had Lampard 8 

Oh and the Kappa Italy home shirt 2002. Maybe my favourite non Bolton shirt ever

Strangely, a good few years ago, I was in the Ashton under Lyne area when I saw a chap wearing a stalybridge celtic shirt. Always thought it looked really good- a decent blue.

Weird really as otherwise it's all a bit meh.

I'd rather wear an Argie shirt than a Rangers shirt

that said, I had the half white, half red away top when I was a kid, I also had an everton goalie top, not sure what I was thinking

in my adult life think I've only had Lazio and Bordeuax after watching both at home

Disgraceful, my uncle was a stanch Motherwell fan born and bred but when they played ‘the Gers’ he was a Billy Boy, a royal marine during WW2 but his bread was buttered correctly

So not that staunch, then? Although, by definition, I suppose he was. 

Kappa originals from pre 2000 are worth a fortune. 

 

Juve away circa 1996

Still got the England shirt from when Gazza cried ( Italy  ? ) though it seems to have shrunk a bit . I've seen it in shops described as vintage .

& an O Marseille shirt cos i like Marseille,

Athertoncolls do not count. Boring 

You'd not catch me in either of the old firm shirts. Although I do like the look of the rangers shirts Hummel have made last season and this. 

Had a footy shirt clear out a couple of years ago and regretted it almost immediately. 

Loads of old Bolton tops, but rarely wear them now as I don't do 5 a side any more. And keeping football tops in a bag in the wardrobe makes them all go tight round the gut area for some reason I haven't fathomed.

Only non-Bolton one is a Dortmund top bought in their club shop when we took the nipper over to see them as a long-promised birthday treat.

If it is an original, and not the mass produced '19' shirt in the last throes of umbro's England days, then yes its vintage

AC Milan (no idea which year)

Barcelona (Home and Away, not sure what year)

Japan, World Cup 2002

Netherlands, Euro 2000

Italy, World Cup 2010

Reno 1868 FC - 2017 Home, 2017 Away, 2018 Home

Other than the signed and framed BWFC and Rabotnicki shirts on my wall, a number of FC Malaga shirts. Altogether now -  "Malaga la bombonera, flor de la Costa Del Sol..............."
