1996 what a great year. Halcyon days!

The 3 stars one always reminded me of an ice hockey top. Gee we was bad in that kit.

Anyone a bit disapointed with Oxens offerings so far. The strategy seems to be release enough rubbish and some of it ill stick, there's far too many items constantly being released and discounts every week.

These shirts look like those cheap rip offs you get of football teams shirts in tacky souvenir shops.

I would have liked more stuff like the Superdry gear from a few years ago, yes they were pricey but they were quality

So bad they're good.

The year I got married. 25 years in April. Nothing to do with rugby, but I have nobody to talk to so I thought I'd share with you lot

I wouldn't know cos all they seem to stock is XS or XXXXL

1996 at least has the benefit of being the last shirt before a cartoon animal appeared on all future shirts.

2000 wasn't exactly a bad era, it was basically the 1999 team; they got to and narrowly lost a cup final and went on what is still our record winning run. Not anything like any of the years ending in '6'.

It's a great idea and something I hope the club continue with. All three shirts are superb.

I don't understand how some can think these and future retro shirt releases are a bad thing.

i don't think its a bad thing at all. would be great to see a heritage round every year with the clubs wearing an old strip. is it just SL era? it doesn't say on the link. i love the traditional shirt from the 80's with youngers sponsor and of the pre SL 90's efforts i liked both the 94' Carling thin stripes and then the 95' Tetley Bitter more traditional style.

I still have all those

A heritage round is such an obvious, easy thing to do that it's insane it's never been implemented.

My only complaint would be that the shirts are made of Polyester not cotton. Even at higher prices I'd bet the cotton ones would have sold well raising more income (and therefore profit) for the club / OXEN.

Because they look like cheap knockoffs, if you are going to do it do it properly, the 2000 shirt especially was actually quite a well put together shirt when it was out, decent materials, stitched on logo and main sponsor on, this is just cheap sublimated crap.

I'm all for retro shirts (maybe don't release 3 at once though) but make them from quality materials and faithful to the original.

The Watersplash shirts they released in the early Noughties were absolutely outstanding both in detail and finish.

These look like the cheap replicas they are.
