It's funny... h
It's funny, having worn that exact top, (an original, not one bought on e-bay, thank you very much) until mine falls apart, I don't have to worry about having to buy a new, plain and simple kit for matchdays... but it wouldn't half be nice to see the players wearing one!
I remember getting the 1978 and 1981 kits at Ted Ditchburn's old sports shop just behind Romford Market (in the days when replica kits weren't that easy to come by) I still have the rather faded, rather small '81 kit... 'and sadly, I didn't have the bloody foresight to get an adult size when I was a kid or i'd still be wearing it!
BTW, when did the design of kits become shit in general? I reckon after Euro '96 a lot of English football kits went down the pan... we've threatened to join them on several occasions... but apart from a few corkers post '90s onwards, we can't seem to just leave well alone, and have a kit designed that harks back to the plain, simple and classy Glory days of Kits that everyone who follows football genuinely seems to crave!
Tottenham Hotspur - Historical Football Kits
Other kit designers seem to be finally getting the message (some of the Adidas ones are looking pretty decent this year) and I think we will get a plainer, simpler kit this time from Nike... I hope!
If Nike could just copy this...
