Retro Shirts...*LAST TWO NOW*

[Herbie6590]

We have great news for all those folks who saw the photos of our 60’s style retro shirts being posted on here last year & thought…

”Why on earth didn’t I order one when they were on sale ?” 😫

We are delighted to confirm that our supplier Ribero can accommodate another order and the really exciting news is that this time, not only are we offering LONG-SLEEVED shirts…we are also offering SHORT-SLEEVED versions - just in time for your spring/summer holidays !

There’s more…not only are all of these available in ADULT sizes…they are now also available in JUNIOR sizes.

 

Just as before, we will take orders for a fixed period (until 1st March at 10pm) & then much like the transfer window…the shirt sale window will slam shut - so place your order in good time to avoid FOMO (I think that’s what the kids call it…).

 

Pricing

All shirts will once again be £25 (irrespective of size/sleeve option ordered) plus the relevant postage & packing. 

For UK addresses this will be £5 per shirt.

For Europe addresses this will be £10 per shirt.

For RoW addresses this will cost £15 per shirt.

How do I order ? 

Click here to order

Please complete the form together, with your credit card details before 10pm on Wednesday 1st March 2023.

 

In the event that the production run is cancelled (for whatever reason) then full refunds will of course be provided & all prospective purchasers will be advised accordingly.

 

When can I expect delivery ? 

We are looking to place our order with Ribero on  Monday 6th March - Ribero have advised that manufacture and delivery to us will take approximately 6-8 weeks from this point. Realistically therefore we are looking at posting out some time from the beginning of May.

Posting out the first order last year coincided quite beautifully with industrial action in the Royal Mail 🤷‍♂️ but we did successfully manage to post every shirt within a week of receipt & whilst clearly no responsibility can be taken in the event of delays beyond our control e.g. container ships becoming stuck in the Suez Canal… Putin declaring war on the UK, that sort of thing…we will do our very best for you…

We will of course keep everyone advised of progress via this forum thread.

By buying one of these shirts, it demonstrates that the wearer has a finely-tuned sense of what constitutes a classic football design & wishes to pay homage to a different era in Rovers history; and of course It helps us to keep BRFCS running..!

 

Here's that short-sleeve design in use at Ewood...

 

Sizing

The shirts will be available in the following JUNIOR & ADULT sizes - the seam to seam measurement “Chest (B)” is probably the most useful to identify which is the right one for you. Please note that the size chart is in INCHES.

I said I’d never wear a replica shirt after I stopped playing but I might make an exception for one of those. Perfect for summer in Spain.

Players in the photo -

Back row - Billy Wilson, John Coddington ( of The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Penalty Taker ) fame, George Sharples.

Front row - Les Chappell, Stuart Metcalfe, Malcolm Darling.

Haha...I'll see if @StubbsUK can add Reminder functionality into the next software upgrade...I'll try my best to manually prompt you before I send the final order to Ribero...😀

I normally get XL replica shirts (Macron has been the exception due to the skin tight fits). I'm assuming an XL would suffice for this shirt too?

There’s a guide a few posts above on sizing. From my understanding these are a little tight due to them being thicker material then the lycra type material they use to make kits nowadays. But @Herbie6590can confirm. 

We haven’t had one sent back for being the wrong size yet, so follow the guide is my best advice!

[broadsword]

Yeah, I'm normally a large. Got my 2001 away kit out, which is a large, and the measurements on that corresponded to what is an XL for this kit.

 

My order is in.

 

I'm still gutted about missing out on 125th anniversary kit.

Funny you should say that… I saw this the other day, size Large. You interested?

[broadsword]

If it's in decent nick, yes. I guess it wouldn't still have the box 90

Based on the first run this sizing chart is spot on for XL of that I can vouch. I like a shirt to fit - not too baggy, not clingy & my default size is 44" for T shirts etc - this was spot on .

Matt Jansen took mine to the training ground to get it signed for me...what a guy...

[broadsword]

Nice. Good one to have on the wall.

 

Just realised I've got a few tops. Kappa promotion top. Kappan training top. ASICS drill top. This retro one I've got coming.

 

I just wouldn't bother buying anything from the club shop. Not until venkys go.

[Upside Down]

Oh you know I've just ordered one
