queensferryjambo Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just looking for a bit of help. I know that the Inter style away kit was worn in Henry Smith's testimonial match season 93/94. It was also worn in pre-season 94/95 away at Middlesbrough. Obviously the all yellow Asics kit was worn away at Dundee twice in 93/94 because the Inter style kit clashed, Was it actually worn in any competitive games? I have been looking but can't find any.

martoon Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Very popular away top but I was never keen. Only away shirt I've ever loved, or bought, was the silver of the mid '80's. Sadly, of course, forever associated with Dens and the final now. Summing up, I don't like away shirts. Hearts, like Brazil, and other teams with iconic shirts and colours, should always have priority to wear their traditional kit. Make the diddy clubs change. Apologies, anxious about you know what and waffling to pass the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a safe pair of sells Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Both Asics Away Strips we had 93 to 95, were superb. This and the Candy Stripes from the season after were top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The Asics range of kits from the 90s were classy looking and of good quality. Villa, Newcastle, Blackburn, Bradford and a few Italian sides all had them. I think latterly, they've supplied kits for Japanese club sides and a few Aussie sports (cricket, athletics..) Would love to see them introduce more stuff again. Their boots were superb - Robbo sported them - and they've tapped into the golf shoe market now too.

That would have been the Admiral shirts and Jordan was still in charge. So previous season but makes sense if you had new strip on holiday.

A photo of Thomas playing against Everton was used frequently. The youth team / younger players were also all photographed for squad photo / team photo in that shirt with first team in home shirts. Each individual players press image was used frequently hence this - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodanny Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I've just remembered being at Henry's testimonial with an Everton supporting friend who'd just moved into our area at that time. He was a bit nervous about coming into the school end with me and standing at the corner of the shed, but enjoyed himself, the score probably helped that. He wasn't vocal when Everton scored and I suspect the Jambos around us just thought he was an "interested" bystander😄 . He went on to be my daughter's maths teacher when she went to high school. He's now retired, but I occasionally meet him in the pub if there's an Everton game on the telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I'd love it if we had that as away kit. I used to always like the away kits when I was a kid but it's been long time since I've felt inclined to buy any we've released and tend to find them pretty poor compared to the home tops. A remake of that and I'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WagonWheel Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Loved this kit. That said, we change against teams who wear darker shades of blue (Dundee, Falkirk, Raith spring to mind) so with our 3rd kit being a dark colour too, I doubt we’ll have an Inter-style kit sadly.
