Sunderland 2004-05 Retro Home Top

[DBStar]

I’m old enough to remember the extreme nipple rash from the embroidered badges

I'm sure that one had this very issue. If not, the one before.

50 quid!

To put it into perspective, the shirt below would have been the same age in 04-05 as the Diadora one is now.

Looks rather unforgiving on the larger person

Diadora in the 00s for football was almost as grim as Lonsdale.

That period of sportswear should be consigned to history, not celebrated with reissues.

Not quite - Diadora did kits for Italy, Roma, Udinese, Belgium, Fiorentina, Napoli and Aston Villa from the mid 90s to the late 00s

Lonsdale did us, Blackburn and Birmingham in the early-mid 00s. Football Kit Archive doesn’t even list any other teams.

Plenty of originals knocking around on eBay and Vinted. Picked up one for about 20 quid last year in mint condition

The 90s Italy diadora stuff was ok.

The 00s stuff was minging with the block capital text only logo.

If anyone wants to pay me £50 for an excellent condition original Diadora version (long sleeve), I'm all ears.

I wore mine for the very first time for the mags away game this season

 

[Zen Den]

Won the league with 94 points that year but I still struggle to get nostalgic about that squad and kit, maybe because it was sandwiched between two shocking PL seasons.

Some good memories in it however, and players to be find of,
Wigan away in particular and just remembered Kevin Kyle was in the beacon of light Saturday gone
Thorn shaunton, Barry green, Lawrence whitehead the Collins twins

Don’t think many of our players would have tits like that back in the day.

 

[Wolf82]

Still got mine. Year we won the championship with 94 pts.
Think there was a big fallout with diadora at the end of season and we only had them for a year

Without the manufacturers logos, the retro tops just don’t cut it for me.

Hopefully they can sort a deal with ASICS.
