If you look at the pictures on this site closely, Stan Cummins Umbro trim down the sleeves is the opposite whites/red combo than the kit itself. Mine was like the kit, but check out Cummins is different!!!??

No, it was deffo white on red. Mine was, as is Allardyces and Richies. Cummins is a mystery

Tom Ritchie's photo on the website is also the same as Cummins, red diamonds on white stripe. The Cummins photo on the website is the 1980/81 version and from the Palace game March 14th 1981. You can't clearly see Allardyce but given he was only with the 1980/81 season then that photo of him on the website is the Arsenal game from December 13th 1980.

So the one on the website definitely has the wrong diamond strip colour for 1980/81. Thanks to @DH4, I found a MOTD from 1981 which is when we played Southampton on January 31st 1981. This is a freeze frame of our new January 1981 signing Tom Ritchie coming on and you can clearly see the red diamonds on white stripe.

Here's the game and at the very start you see Cummins with the whiter umbro stripe, also fiddling with his knackers :lol:


Here's the Rowell version with the white diamonds on the red stripe. There's still seems to be less red on these than the one of the website as the red triangles look smaller and the cuffs have 2 even red stripes but the website has a smaller inner red stripe.

It's from this video just after he tucks away the penna just before 8 mins in the video :cool:


This is a picture of Cummins in both versions. You can see the left one has white on red and the top itself is a 'duller' material. The right one is the red on white and the 'silky' version as @DH4 also mentioned about the 1980/81 strip.



It's sold out now anyway! :lol::lol:

The yellow and black third strip that was worn between 93-95? I can't ever remember seeing it.

That one wasnt. Lovely top that one anarl which they'd make money on should they do it.

After the Nike away one I'd love to see the Patrick away one

They could make a mint selling the white away one we wore in the 92 cup final and the yellow and black from 93-95.
